Former U.S. President Bill Clinton is reportedly set to be named on a list of Jeffrey Epstein’s associates, scheduled for public release later this week. The Daily Mail suggests that Clinton might be identified as “John Doe 36” in the documents.
ABC News has revealed that Clinton is mentioned in over fifty pages of the court documents. This development follows a recent order by a federal judge in New York to disclose the names of numerous alleged victims and associates of Jeffrey Epstein.
Judge Loretta A. Preska issued the order on Monday, with the latest documents stemming from a settled case brought forward by Roberts Giuffre. Giuffre, an American woman, claimed she was sexually abused by Epstein while a minor and alleged that Ghislaine Maxwell, Epstein’s ex-girlfriend and accomplice, facilitated the abuse.
Central to the Epstein scandal are allegations of sex trafficking involving primarily underage girls. Investigations have uncovered an extensive network established by Epstein, which was used to lure, abuse, and exploit young girls, often using financial incentives, promises of modeling careers, and other alluring prospects. These allegations span several decades and various continents, highlighting the extensive reach of Epstein’s operations.
Epstein first faced legal scrutiny in 2005 with accusations of minor sexual abuse. In 2008, he entered a controversial plea deal, leading to a notably lenient 13-month sentence, despite significant evidence against him. This deal was widely condemned for failing the victims and allowing Epstein to avoid serious repercussions.
As details of Epstein’s activities unraveled, many high-profile figures were implicated in different capacities, ranging from participation in illegal acts to associations with Epstein’s social and financial networks.
Notable names include business tycoon Donald Trump, Prince Andrew of Britain, and scientist Stephen Hawking. It’s crucial to recognize that allegations are not definitive proof of guilt, and many linked to Epstein have denied any involvement or awareness of his criminal activities.
