The upcoming unsealing of court documents this week is expected to reveal the identification of Bill Clinton, a former Democratic President, in relation to Jeffrey Epstein.
According to ABC News, Bill Clinton is named as “John Doe 36” in “more than fifty redacted filings.”
“Former President Clinton, who ABC News has learned is identified as ‘Doe 36,’ is mentioned in more than fifty of the redacted filings, according to court records,” the outlet reports.
“Several of those sealed or redacted entries are focused on an effort by Giuffre’s lawyers in mid-2016, first reported by ABC News, to subpoena the two-term Democratic president for deposition testimony about his relationship with Epstein.”
As previously reported, a judge has ordered the unsealing of documents, which is expected to reveal Epstein’s “Client List” of powerful associates involved in sex trafficking. Following the judge’s ruling, reports have surfaced indicating that a “former president” will be named in these documents.
According to ABC News, Clinton, aged 77, is mentioned more than 50 times in redacted documents related to a 2015 lawsuit filed by Epstein victim Virginia Roberts Giuffre. It is believed that many of these references to Clinton are connected to Giuffre’s efforts to compel him to testify against Epstein and his co-conspirator, Ghislaine Maxwell.
Other mentions of Clinton are anticipated to be linked to Maxwell and Giuffre’s attempts to hold Epstein accountable after he repeatedly invoked his Fifth Amendment rights during a deposition in the same lawsuit. The unsealed documents, which are expected to reveal the names of over 170 individuals connected to Epstein, will be released starting on January 2, following the New Year’s Day holiday.
Some individuals mentioned in the documents have already been exposed for their association with Epstein and his sex-trafficking ring.
Numerous individuals, including former employees of Epstein, members of his inner circle, and those allegedly involved in his crimes, are expected to be identified.
One notable person among them is Britain’s Prince Andrew, who is accused of being involved in sexual activities with then-teenager Giuffre on multiple occasions, allegedly at the behest of Maxwell and Epstein.
Testimony from a woman referred to as “Jane Doe 162” is anticipated to be included in the documents. She testified about being present with Prince Andrew at a party in 2001 at Epstein’s New York City residence, where Giuffre, who was 17 at the time, claimed she was instructed to engage in sexual activities with him.
Despite the emergence of photographs showing Prince Andrew and Giuffre together, the British royal has denied the allegations and stated that he never met Giuffre. He eventually reached a settlement with Giuffre, resolving the lawsuit out of court.
Similarly, former President Clinton, who was photographed with Epstein and flew on his private jet multiple times, has denied any illicit connections with the sex offender. Giuffre attempted to subpoena Clinton to testify in her lawsuit, claiming to have met him on Epstein’s private island in the Caribbean. Maxwell insisted that Clinton never visited the island, and the former president declined to testify, asserting that he had never been there.
Nonetheless, Giuffre has testified that she witnessed Clinton on the island in the company of “two young girls.”
