Court documents made public on Wednesday disclosed the names of dozens of powerful men with alleged connections to convicted sex-trafficker Jeffrey Epstein, who died by suicide in 2019.
Federal Judge Loretta Preska in Manhattan unsealed the documents, revealing the names of numerous individuals described in a 2015 civil lawsuit as associates, affiliates or victims of Epstein.
The documents include references to former Presidents Bill Clinton and Donald Trump, the magician David Copperfield, Prince Andrew, former Israeli Prime Minister Ehud Barak, actor Kevin Spacey, lawyer Alan Dershowitz, the late New Mexico Gov. Bill Richardson and former Vice President Al Gore, among others.
The fact that people were named in these documents doesn’t mean any of them face allegations or evidence of wrongdoing.
Many of the most prominent individuals, including U.S. politicians, British royalty, tech tycoons and bankers, were already known to have links to Epstein because of previous court cases or disclosures in the media.
Most of those publicly named have denied any wrongdoing or knowledge of Epstein’s criminal activities previously.
These troves of records do offer more details on a case that has drawn huge public attention and provide new, salacious allegations about these powerful men’s behavior.
Federal prosecutors say Epstein — who worked for decades as a private financier for a secretive list of wealthy clients — also operated an underage sex-trafficking ring based in Manhattan and Palm Beach, Fla.
Epstein allegedly developed a scheme to identify and exploit “dozens” of vulnerable girls and young women, some as young as 14 years old, beginning around 1994 and continuing at least until 2004.
Some of his victims later claimed in civil lawsuits that Epstein instructed them to have sex with a who’s-who of powerful men.
According to one suit filed in 2014, Epstein arranged sexual encounters for “numerous prominent American politicians, powerful business executives, foreign presidents, a well-known Prime Minister, and other world leaders.”
The more than three dozen documents naming Epstein’s associates were compiled as part of a 2015 civil lawsuit filed by Virginia Giuffre, who claimed she was one of Epstein’s underage victims.
One of the more notable names, former President Bill Clinton, is mentioned frequently in the documents.
They say that Clinton allegedly took a trip to Thailand with Epstein and include allegations from one witness who testified Epstein told her “Clinton likes them young, referring to girls.”
Angel Ureña, a spokesman for Clinton, said it had been nearly 20 years since Clinton last had contact with Epstein and that the former president has never been accused of any wrongdoing. Ureña referred NPR to a previous statement made in 2019 on behalf of Clinton in response to allegations of ties to Epstein.
