Clinton was one of 170 associates mentioned in the bombshell court documents that stem from a 2015 defamation lawsuit filed against Epstein’s business partner Ghislaine Maxwell.

Maxwell was hit with the suit by Virginia Giuffre who accused her of being the mastermind behind her alleged sexual abuse at the hands of Epstein.
The two were able to settle in 2017, but none of the terms or in-court discussions were made public.
On Wednesday, a slew of documents relating to the case were released one month after Southern District of New York Judge Loretta Preskw ordered they be made public.
Over 170 people are to be named with former president Bill Clinton and Prince Andrew of the British royal family showing up several times.
If someone is mentioned in the documents it does not mean they are accused of committing a crime.
Inside the 943 pages of documents was the transcript of whistleblower Johanna Sjoberg’s deposition who has made several allegations of sexual misconduct against Epstein.
According to the docs, Sjoberg testified in court that Epstein allegedly told her that Clinton “likes them young,” while talking about girls.
The documents also reveal Ghislaine denied that Clinton ever visited Epstein’s island.
She said: “The allegation that Clinton had a meal on Jeffrey’s island is 100% false,” before adding “I’m sure he had a meal on Jeffrey’s plane.”
Ghislaine referenced Clinton and Prince Andrew in a frantic email sent in 2015, the same year Giuffre’s lawsuit was filed, included in the docs.
In the email, Maxwell wrote: “I can’t even see what life after press hell even looks like.
“Statements that don’t address all just lead to more questions. What is my relationship to Clinton? Andrew? On and on.”
Giuffre rose to prominence after she accused Epstein and Maxwell of grooming and trafficking her for Prince Andrew.
She claims that Andrew had sex with her when she was 17.
In a transcript of her deposition, Maxwell claims Andrew only ever visited Epstein’s island once.
She added that no girls were present during the prince’s visit – only female staff.
Maxwell also said under oath that she ‘”did not recall” being in London with Giuffre and Andrew – despite photographs showing the three together.
Giuffre sued Prince Andrew in 2021 for battery and infliction of emotional distress, and they settled in February 2022.
Andrew has always denied any wrongdoing and told the BBC in 2019 that he had never met Giuffre, despite the settlement.
The U.S. Sun is reaching out to Clinton’s team for comment, but the former president has previously stated that he knew nothing about Epstein’s crimes.
Other names mentioned in the documents include former President Donald Trump, but he is not affiliated with any wrongdoing.
Alan Dershowitz, the lawyer responsible for getting Epstein off on a sweetheart deal when he was found guilty of child prostitution in 2008, was mentioned over 130 times, per Axios.
Names of Epstein and Maxwell’s victims, associates and alleged co-conspirators will continue to be made public as part of the document dump, according to Preska’s order.
The list is expected to include names of people with close ties to Epstein such as Microsoft founder Bill Gates and former Israeli Prime Minister Ehud Barak.
The new files will include emails, legal documents, depositions and more relating to Epstein and Maxwell.
Only Epstein and Maxwell have been charged over the alleged sexual abuse of dozens of young girls in his Upper East Side townhouse and his waterfront mansion in Palm Beach, Florida, between 2002 and 2005.
Epstein killed himself in 2019 while he awaited trial.
Maxwell, 62, is serving 20 years for sex trafficking.
