Convicted sex trafficker Ghislaine Maxwell apparently dodged a deposition to attend Chelsea Clinton’s July 31, 2010 wedding, according to newly unsealed court documents related to deceased pedophile Jeffrey Epstein.

Maxwell was subpoenaed for a civil lawsuit against Epstein by accuser Virginia Giuffre. Maxwell’s attorney coordinated a time for the deposition before she abruptly cancelled last minute to supposedly see her dying mother, a motion filed by Giuffre’s attorneys in 2016 states.

However, images taken days later at Clinton’s wedding appeared to show Maxwell avoiding her deposition, Giuffre’s attorneys said in the motion. The document was first reported by the New York Post.

READ THE MOTION:

“In 2009, before suit was ever filed in this case, Maxwell was served with a subpoena for a deposition in a civil case against Jeffrey Epstein. After extensive discussion and coordinating a convenient time and place, as well as ultimately agreeing to a confidentiality agreement prepared by Maxwell’s attorney, at the eleventh hour Maxwell’s attorney informed plaintiff’s counsel that Maxwell’s mother was very ill and that consequently Maxwell was leaving the country with no plans to return,” the motion reads.

“The deposition was cancelled. Yet a short time later, Maxwell was photographed at Chelsea Clinton’s wedding in Rhinebeck, New York, confirming the suspicion that she was indeed still in the country and willing to say anything to avoid her deposition,” the motion adds.

Maxwell later denied the accusation leveled by Giuffre’s attorneys, Insider reported based on documents previously unsealed as part of litigation between the two parties. (RELATED: Michael Jackson Named In Freshly Unsealed Jeffrey Epstein Court Documents)

The 2016 motion came out Friday as part of the ongoing release of court documents tied to a defamation lawsuit filed by Giuffre against Maxwell.

Troves of documents from the litigation began to be unsealed Wednesday and further sets of documents were released Thursday and Friday by the U.S. District Court of the Southern District of New York. Additional documents are expected to be released in the coming days.

Chelsea Clinton’s father, former President Bill Clinton, was among the high profile figures named in the first two batches of court documents related to Epstein and Maxwell’s sex crimes. Chelsea is the only child of Bill and his wife, former Democratic presidential candidate Hillary Clinton.

Clinton has not been accused of any criminal activity in the documents, but an Epstein victim did recall what Epstein told her about Clinton’s preferences, according to a newly unsealed partial transcript of her deposition.

“He said one time that Clinton likes them young, referring to girls,” the victim stated.

Epstein was photographed at the White House during Clinton’s presidency and the former president’s name appears repeatedly in Epstein’s flight logs. Clinton does not appear to have taken a trip to Epstein’s infamous Little St. James island, the center of his sex trafficking operation, according to the New York Post.

Maxwell is serving a 20-year prison sentence for aiding Epstein in his serial sexual abuse of underage girls. Her attorney said Wednesday she has “nothing to say” about Epstein or the documents, according to NewsNation.

Epstein died in August 2019 while awaiting trial on sex trafficking charges.

Readers,

Instead of sucking up to the political and corporate powers that dominate America, The Daily Caller is fighting for you — our readers. We humbly ask you to consider joining us in this fight.

Now that millions of readers are rejecting the increasingly biased and even corrupt corporate media and joining us daily, there are powerful forces lined up to stop us: the old guard of the news media hopes to marginalize us; the big corporate ad agencies want to deprive us of revenue and put us out of business; senators threaten to have our reporters arrested for asking simple questions; the big tech platforms want to limit our ability to communicate with you; and the political party establishments feel threatened by our independence.

We don't complain -- we can't stand complainers -- but we do call it how we see it. We have a fight on our hands, and it's intense. We need your help to smash through the big tech, big media and big government blockade.

We're the insurgent outsiders for a reason: our deep-dive investigations hold the powerful to account. Our original videos undermine their narratives on a daily basis. Even our insistence on having fun infuriates them -- because we won’t bend the knee to political correctness.

One reason we stand apart is because we are not afraid to say we love America. We love her with every fiber of our being, and we think she's worth saving from today’s craziness.

Help us save her.

A second reason we stand out is the sheer number of honest responsible reporters we have helped train. We have trained so many solid reporters that they now hold prominent positions at publications across the political spectrum. Hear a rare reasonable voice at a place like CNN? There’s a good chance they were trained at Daily Caller. Same goes for the numerous Daily Caller alumni dominating the news coverage at outlets such as Fox News, Newsmax, Daily Wire and many others.

Simply put, America needs solid reporters fighting to tell the truth or we will never have honest elections or a fair system. We are working tirelessly to make that happen and we are making a difference.

Since 2010, The Daily Caller has grown immensely. We're in the halls of Congress. We're in the Oval Office. And we're in up to 20 million homes every single month. That's 20 million Americans like you who are impossible to ignore.

We can overcome the forces lined up against all of us. This is an important mission but we can’t do it unless you — the everyday Americans forgotten by the establishment — have our back.

Please consider becoming a Daily Caller Patriot today, and help us keep doing work that holds politicians, corporations and other leaders accountable. Help us thumb our noses at political correctness. Help us train a new generation of news reporters who will actually tell the truth. And help us remind Americans everywhere that there are millions of us who remain clear-eyed about our country's greatness.

In return for membership, Daily Caller Patriots will be able to read The Daily Caller without any of the ads that we have long used to support our mission. We know the ads drive you crazy. They drive us crazy too. But we need revenue to keep the fight going. If you join us, we will cut out the ads for you and put every Lincoln-headed cent we earn into amplifying our voice, training even more solid reporters, and giving you the ad-free experience and lightning fast website you deserve.

Patriots will also be eligible for Patriots Only content, newsletters, chats and live events with our reporters and editors. It's simple: welcome us into your lives, and we'll welcome you into ours.

We can save America together.

Become a Daily Caller Patriot today.
