Court documents from a lawsuit regarding Jeffrey Epstein's sex trafficking case were unsealed on Wednesday.

The Details: The documents name roughly 150 people mentioned in previously redacted parts of the lawsuit against Ghislaine Maxwell, Epstein's associate who was sentenced to 20 years in prison for sex crimes. High-profile names include former Presidents Donald Trump and Bill Clinton, the U.K.'s Prince Andrew, and former Senate Majority Leader George Mitchell. New York Judge Loretta Preska said some names should remain redacted because they'd identify sexual abuse victims.

For Context: Many of the names released were already known Epstein associates. Both Clinton and Prince Andrew have acknowledged their ties to Epstein but denied any involvement in his crimes. Being named in the documents doesn't necessarily imply illegal activity.

How the Media Covered it: Sources across the spectrum covered the unsealed documents as a top story on Thursday. The Associated Press (Lean Left bias) said the documents are "likely to disappoint sleuths online, where the plan to release documents prompted rumors of a list of 'clients' or 'co-conspirators.'"

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.

Court filings from a lawsuit related to Jeffrey Epstein's sex trafficking conspiracy case were unsealed on Wednesday.

The big picture: The documents feature roughly 150 people mentioned in previously redacted parts of the suit against Ghislaine Maxwell, who was sentenced last year to 20 years in prison on sex trafficking and other charges for helping Epstein sexually abuse teenage girls.

Being named in the suit does not equate to being accused of wrongdoing.

The UK's Prince Andrew and Bill Clinton are among high-profile figures named in US court papers detailing connections of late sex offender Jeffrey Epstein.

The newly-released records form part of a case against Ghislaine Maxwell, Epstein's girlfriend who has been jailed for helping him abuse girls.

But the documents so far unveil no major new allegations about Epstein nor revelations about his associates.

Prince Andrew is accused of groping a woman, which he denies.
