Several “prominent” names are expected to be mentioned in court documents about Jeffrey Epstein when they are made public later this week, according to a new report by ABC News.
A judge ruled that the names can be unsealed beginning Jan.1. However, court is closed on that date because of New Year’s.
One of these names in the redacted filings is that of former President Bill Clinton, ABC wrote. Clinton, identified as “Doe 36”, is mentioned in at least 50 filings, the news outlet said.
These documents come from a settled civil lawsuit Virginia Giuffre filed against British socialite Ghislaine Maxwell in 2015.
Giuffre claimed that Epstein and Maxwell had pressured her, as a teenager, into sexual trysts with other powerful men, including Prince Andrew. All of those men denied the allegations and Giuffre later settled a lawsuit against Andrew out of court.
Several of the redacted documents, ABC writes, focus on efforts to subpoena Clinton for deposition testimony about his relationship with Epstein.
