Jeffrey Epstein list updates: Unsealed documents name associates including Trump and Clinton

US magician David Copperfield reportedly had dinner with late paedophile Jeffrey Epstein, newly-unsealed documents have claimed.

Part of one exhibit read: “David Copperfield was at a dinner at Epstein’s and there was another girl present who looked young and Johanna [Sjoberg] asked what school she went to and Johanna did not recognize the school name as being a college and she said it was possible it was a high school aged girl.

“Johanna said Copperfield ‘questioned me if I was aware that girls were getting paid to find other girls’.”

Copperfield’s relationship with Epstein has previously been noted, including in a 2019 article from The New York Times, which described the role of Ghislaine Maxwell in acquiring young girls for the disgraced financier.

As speculation swirls over the identities of associates of Jeffrey Epstein due to be revealed to the public, Marjorie Taylor Greene ignored Donald Trump’s ties to the late paedophile while lashing out at Bill Clinton for his.

Up to 200 Epstein associates are due to be unmasked in a process ordered by a judge in December, due to begin on Wednesday.

Many of the documents, to be unsealed after 1 January, have previously been publicly released – though hundreds of names were redacted in the filings.

A woman who was victimised by Jeffrey Epstein claimed the disgraced financier told her that former US president Bill Clinton “likes them young” – referring to girls – according to newly-unsealed documents.

Part of the material, released on Wednesday as Exhibit 10, reported that Johanna Sojberg “testified Jeffrey told her ‘Clinton likes them young, referring to girls’.”

A woman who has said she was victimised by deceased sex trafficker Jeffrey Epstein said Prince Andrew put his hand on her breast at Epstein’s Manhattan townhouse in 2001, according to court documents unsealed on Wednesday.

The incident, which has been previously reported and Andrew has denied, was among the details revealed in the trove of previously redacted documents.

In a 2016 deposition, Epstein accuser Johanna Sjoberg said the prince put his hand on her breast to pose for a photo with Epstein, Giuffre and Ghislaine Maxwell, Epstein’s former girlfriend.

Ms Sjoberg said the photo also included a puppet that said “Prince Andrew” on it.

One of the court documents unsealed on Wednesday is an email which appears to gave been sent by Ghislaine Maxwell, and includes an apparent reference to Prince Andrew and former US president Bill Clinton.

Both men are known to have associated with Epstein previously.

The email – published as Exhibit 4 – was sent from the address, gmax1@ellmax.com to Philip Barden and Ross Glow in January 2015.

“I have already suffered such a terrible and painful loss over the last few days that I can’t even see what life after press he’ll even looks like – statements that don’t address all just lead to more questions .. what is my relationship to clinton ? Andrew on and on. Let’s rest till monday. I need head space,” the email read.

Maxwell also asked Mr Barton and Mr Glow to contact Epstein’s lawyer, addeding: “See what you can understand from him and pehaps craft something in conjunction with him?”

The Epstein documents will identify individuals whose names had been previously redacted. Those listed include “alleged victims, people not accused of wrongdoing…and absent third parties.”

The parties had until midnight on 1 January to object to the ruling, with only 10 people identified in the papers successfully arguing that their right to privacy as victims outweighs the public’s right to know their names.

New York Judge Loretta Preska, said that the unsealing of the documents would begin on Wednesday.

Being identified through the court documents does not necessarily mean that the individual was involved in or aware of any wrongdoing by the disgraced and deceased financier.

The first batch of documents naming associates of Jeffrey Epstein have been released.

Andrea Blanco has the story:

A website sharing the first selection of documents naming associates of Jeffrey Epstein crashed moments after they were published.

The site – CourtListener.com – went down shortly after the first 40 documents were posted online. The materials were reportedly available on other document-viewing sites.

Forty documents containing information on associates of late paedophile Jeffrey Epstein have been made public.

Up to 200 names, including some of the disgraced financier’s accusers, prominent businesspeople, politicians, may be included.

This is the first set of documents to be unredacted unsealed as part of a 18 December court order by US judge Loretta Preska. More are expected as part of the order.
