Highly anticipated court documents containing a list of over 150 associates of deceased pedophile Jeffrey Epstein began to be released Wednesday night.
Former President Bill Clinton and disgraced British Prince Andrew are named in the court documents related to Epstein associates made public as part of years-long litigation between prominent Epstein accuser Virginia Giuffre and Epstein’s partner Ghislaine Maxwell.

GIUFFRE DEPOSITION:
“I was paid for the picture with Prince Andrew with his arm around me, Ghislaine in the background. And I was paid for the, I guess, the print of the stories,” Giuffre testified regarding her infamous picture with Prince Andrew, a partial transcript of her deposition show.
Additional names that appeared in the full transcript of Giuffre’s deposition include billionaire Thomas Pritzker, deceased model scout Jean-Luc Brunel, deceased computer scientist Marvin Minsky and deceased former Democratic New Mexico Gov. Bill Richardson.
Giuffre and Andrew settled a lawsuit in 2022 after she accused him of raping her during his friendship with Epstein, The New York Times reported. Giuffre previously accused Clinton of traveling to Epstein’s Little St. James Island, a charge the former president has vehemently denied.
A newly released deposition from Epstein victim Johanna Sjoberg contains further information about both Clinton and Prince Andrew that she was able to recall.
SJOBERG DEPOSITION:
“They put the puppet on Virginia’s lap, and I sat on Andrew’s lap, and they put the puppet’s hand on Virginia’s breast, and Andrew put his hand on my breast and they took a photo,” she said.
The puppet was a caricature of Prince Andrew and they were staying at Epstein’s Manhattan, New York, townhouse. She also names deceased pop legend Michael Jackson and magician David Copperfield in her deposition.
“Did Jeffrey ever talk to you about Bill Clinton?”
“He said one time that Clinton likes them young, referring to girls,” she said.
A separate email from Jeffrey Epstein mentions deceased physicist Stephen Hawking, known for his scientific discoveries and long battle with amyotrophic lateral sclerosis (ALS).
Epstein alludes to an allegation that Hawking participated in an underage orgy on his island in the U.S. Virgin Islands. Hawking was pictured at a barbecue on Epstein’s island and taking a boat tour off the island, the Telegraph previously reported.
The release of the court documents was initially thought to be delayed because of an appeal from a Jane Doe, but a judge confirmed Wednesday the documents were set to be released on schedule. U.S. District Court Judge for the Southern District of New York Loretta Preska ordered in December for the Epstein names and associated documents to be released at the start of January.
Former President Donald Trump is also mentioned in the Epstein document dump. Sjoberg said she never massaged Trump and only recalled visiting one of his casinos.
Trump and Clinton previously appeared on Epstein’s flight logs released in 2021 as part of the litigation. Neither has been accused of criminal activity, and the flight logs do not contain any flights to Epstein’s Little St. James Island.
The documents are expected to be released on a rolling basis as Preska considers an appeal from a Jane Doe to remain confidential, NewsNation reported.
Maxwell’s attorney told the network she has “nothing to say” about the documents. She is currently serving a 20 year prison sentence for conspiring alongside Epstein to sexually abuse minors.
Epstein was found dead in August 2019 as he sat in a New York City jail cell awaiting trial for federal sex trafficking charges. His death has been ruled a suicide but it was not recorded by jail cameras.
