A federal court in New York unsealed documents related to Jeffrey Epstein, revealing names of people involved in a lawsuit brought by accuser Virginia Giuffre against Ghislaine Maxwell.
The documents didn’t provide a definitive list of visitors to Epstein’s island but contained claims about Bill Clinton, offers of rewards to disprove allegations, and mentions of figures like David Copperfield, Prince Andrew, Stephen Hawking, and Alan Dershowitz.
Allegations against Prince Andrew and Donald Trump were also discussed, but no misconduct accusations were found against others in Epstein’s circle. More files are expected to be released. (Trending: Trump Announces Heartbreaking Melania-Related Health Update)
Neama Rahmani, a Los Angeles-based trial attorney, said, “The unsealed Epstein documents didn’t provide the smoking gun that many hoped for.”
“There was no definitive list of who visited his infamous island, for instance, but there was enough to sully up some powerful people,” continued Rahmani.
Johanna Sjoberg said, “I knew he had dealings with Bill Clinton.”
“I did not know they were friends until I read the Vanity Fair article about them going to Africa together,” she continued.
“He said one time that Clinton likes them young, referring to girls,” testified Sjoberg.
Epstein reportedly emailed Maxwell, that, “you can issue a reward to any of virginias friends acquaionts family that come forward and help prove her allegations are false.”
“At one point, Ghislaine told me to come upstairs, and we went into a closet and pulled out the puppet, the caricature of Prince Andrew, and brought it down,” said Sjoberg.
“And there was a little tag on the puppet that said ‘Prince Andrew’ on it, and that’s when I knew who he was,” she continued.
“They put the puppet on Virginia’s lap, and I sat on Andrew’s lap,” Sjoberg recalled.
“And they put the puppet’s hand on Virginia’s breast, and Andrew put his hand on my breast, and they took the photo,” said Sjoberg.
“So we were sitting there, and the pilots told me to go back and tell him that we can’t land in New York and that we were going to have to land in Atlantic City,” explained Sjoberg.
“Jeffrey said, great, we’ll call up Trump and we’ll go to — I don’t recall the name of the casino, but — we’ll go to the casino,” said Sjoberg.
“I was not a fan of his, that I can tell you,” said Trump.
