The former president has long denied knowing about the chid sex crimes committed by Epstein, who died in 2019.
Jeffrey Epstein told one of his victims that former President Bill Clinton «likes them young,» according to newly unsealed court documents related to the late financier.
Nearly 1,000 pages of records, testimony and filings linked to Epstein, who died by suicide in August 2019 while awaiting trial for child sex offenses, were made public on Wednesday. They featured the names of several high-profile people who were associated with the billionaire. Read the unsealed Epstein documents in full here.
Many of those who are featured in the unsealed documents are not accused of any wrongdoing. The documents released Wednesday are not an Epstein «client list.» They feature claims and statements which have been public knowledge for years, including those involving Clinton. The former president has long denied being aware of Epstein’s sex offenses, with his spokesperson reiterating that he had cut ties with the financier more than a decade before his suicide.
The details were disclosed as part of a settled civil lawsuit between Ghislaine Maxwell, who helped Epstein abuse his young victims for years, and accuser Virginia Giuffre, who is alleged to have been trafficked by Epstein to have sex with his friends around the world. One of these people allegedly includes Britain’s Prince Andrew. The royal has denied the claim. He settled his civil lawsuit with Giuffre in February 2022.
Included in the document is a deposition from Johanna Sjöberg, who is alleged to have been recruited by Maxwell to perform massages and sexual acts for Epstein. Sjöberg accuses Prince Andrew of touching her breast while they were at Epstein’s New York apartment in 2001, an allegation that Buckingham Palace previously said was «categorically untrue.
