Release of Epstein court records reveals details about high-profile contacts with Bill Clinton and other public figures

Names previously redacted in Virginia Giuffre’s 2015 lawsuit against Jeffrey Epstein’s former mistress and accomplice, Ghislaine Maxwell, were made public Wednesday due to an order from a federal judge in New York.

In total, 187 redacted names were declassified in court documents that shed new details about Epstein’s high-profile contacts with Democratic President Bill Clinton, Prince Andrew and other figures.

In one section of the documents, for example, a witness in the case was questioned about the relationship between Epstein and Clinton, who traveled with the magnate on his private plane on dozens of occasions, including a trip to Africa with several famous actors.

According to the witness, on one occasion, the pedophile, who died in his cell in 2019, told her that the former Democratic president “likes them young, referring to girls.”

However, the statements of witnesses or the appearance in court documents do not necessarily imply that those involved committed a crime or acted improperly.

The big names that appear in the documents, in addition to Bill Clinton, are Doug Band, a former aide to the Democratic politician; Prince Andrew, who was accused of abusing Giuffre; and French modeling agent Jean-Luc Brunel, who died while awaiting trial, as did Epstein.

All of these names were in documents used in the lawsuit against Maxwell by Virginia Giuffre, who accused Epstein of trafficking her to his private island, Little St. James, in the United States Virgin Islands, for sexual purposes before she was 18 years old.

Maxwell reached an out-of-court settlement in 2017 with Giuffre, who sued and got a separate deal from Prince Andrew, who denied all charges against him and, according to documents, he was a routine attendee at Epstein’s parties and is accused in the lawsuit of having had sex with a minor.

In another case, Maxwell was sentenced to 20 years behind bars for sex trafficking of Epstein victims. She is serving her sentence in Florida.

Other names revealed Wednesday include billionaire Glenn Dubin, who previously denied any knowledge of the late financier’s behavior.

Likewise, the name of Rinaldo Rizzo, Dubin’s private chef, also appears.

In other court documents, Rizzo claimed that Epstein and Maxwell once visited Dubin’s home with a disoriented 15-year-old Swedish girl who revealed to the chef that the pair stole her passport and asked her for sex.

The documents also mention professors and academics. For example, the revelations say that Epstein allegedly forced a minor to have sex with Harvard Law professor Alan Dershowitz, who was his lawyer.

However, in an interview with Fox News, Dershowitz stated that the accuser recanted and claimed that she misidentified the professor.

Likewise, they also say that physicist Stephen Hawking allegedly participated in one of the sexual meetings with minors organized by Epstein.

Does Trump appear in court documents?

Although weeks ago there was speculation that former President Donald Trump’s name appeared in the court documents, the reality is that the Republican does appear, but in an interrogation with Epstein’s party attendees, who said that Trump never visited the private island in the Caribbean or the pedophile’s residences in New York or New Mexico.
