Hillary Clinton
The latest set of disclosed documents linked to the Jeffrey Epstein case were unveiled yesterday (5 January).
These documents contain additional deposition excerpts from Epstein accusers, namely Virginia Giuffre and Johanna Sjoberg.
The documents originate from a civil lawsuit in 2015, filed by Virginia Giuffre. She claims to be among the numerous young girls who were trafficked by Jeffrey Epstein and his associate, Ghislaine Maxwell.
The recently disclosed documents feature snippets of evidence from Epstein's close associates who assisted him in running his sex trafficking operation.
Additional deposition excerpts from Giuffre and Sjoberg provide further insights into the methods Epstein and Maxwell used to entice teenage girls into their trafficking operation.
New documents suggest that Hillary Clinton was among the "thirteen specific witnesses" named by Virginia Giuffre, a victim of Epstein. However, the court documents stress that there are no claims or allegations directed towards the former first lady in this issue.
Former housekeeper Juan Alessi claimed that Prince Andrew stayed at Epstein's Palm Beach home, where he received daily massages
The documents indicate that Donald Trump, the former US President, had visited Epstein's residence in south Florida. However, according to Juan Alessi, Trump "never" spent the night there.
The unsealed files linked to the 'Paedo Island' claim he would pay $200 for each for a young girl who was brought to him as part of the sex trafficking deal. It is reported that multiple underage girls accepted these payments in exchange for providing him with massages.
Since Wednesday, over 180 documents related to the lawsuit, such as depositions, legal briefs, and email chains, have been made public.
In July 2019, Epstein faced charges of sex trafficking, however, he committed suicide in his Manhattan prison cell before his trial could commence.
Meanwhile, Maxwell is currently serving a two-decade-long sentence for sex trafficking.
Previously, US prosecutors stated that Epstein exploited his wealth and influence to sexually abuse numerous young girls over several years at his residences.
He allegedly paid them hundreds of dollars in cash for each encounter and hundreds more if they brought in more victims.
