Court orders for the release of files have been revealed by a federal judge in New York as part of a lawsuit related to Jeffrey Epstein associate Ghislaine Maxwell.
Open Court Files
Court documents containing the names of individuals linked to the notorious sex and financial criminal Jeffrey Epstein were released on Wednesday (January 3). Former President Bill Clinton and Prince Andrew – a member of the British royal family – appeared, along with musician Michael Jackson and famed magician David Copperfield as some of the big names.
File Release Orders
A federal judge in New York previously issued orders to release files as part of a lawsuit related to Jeffrey Epstein associate Ghislaine Maxwell. She has been sentenced to 20 years in prison for committing crimes with Epstein.
A total of 943 pages were released by the court. Some individuals named have been accused of committing illegal acts, while others on the list are either potential witnesses or those making accusations.
Bill Clinton and Prince Andrew’s Relationship with Jeffrey Epstein
In her testimony, Ghislaine Maxwell spoke about Prince Andrew’s visit to Epstein’s island in the U.S. Virgin Islands. Epstein faced accusations of assaulting numerous girls on that island.
Maxwell was asked, “Were you present on the island when Prince Andrew visited?” She confidently replied, “I remember that only once.” When talking about the presence of girls on the island at that time, Maxwell stated, “There were no girls on the island at all. No girls or women, just the staff working in the house.”
One of the documents included another testimony provided by Johanna Sjoberg. Sjoberg was employed by Maxwell to perform sexual acts with Epstein. In her testimony, Sjoberg stated that Epstein “once said that Clinton likes young girls.”
Michael Jackson and David Copperfield’s Connection with Epstein
Sjoberg added that Michael Jackson and David Copperfield visited Epstein’s home in Palm Beach. She was asked, “Did you meet any celebrities when you were with Jeffrey?” She answered, “I met Michael Jackson… at Epstein’s house in Palm Beach.” When asked if she gave Jackson a massage, Sjoberg said, “I didn’t do that.” Regarding Copperfield, Sjoberg stated that he came over for dinner at one of Epstein’s houses and “performed some magic tricks.”
Sjoberg certainly responded when asked, “Did you notice that David Copperfield was a friend of Jeffrey Epstein?” She added, “He asked me if I was aware that girls were being paid to find other girls.”
Epstein’s Connection to Trump?
The document also included testimony in which Sjoberg stated that Epstein told her he would call Donald Trump while they were heading to one of his casinos in New Jersey.
Sjoberg stated in her testimony, “Jeffrey said, ‘Great, we’ll call Trump’” after the pilots said their plane could not land in New York and needed to stop in Atlantic City, New Jersey.
However, no alleged illegal behavior by Trump was revealed in the documents. In 2019, Epstein was charged with federal offenses for running a sex trafficking ring where dozens of underage girls were allegedly assaulted by him.
While awaiting trial in prison, Epstein allegedly died by suicide. Meanwhile, Maxwell has been charged with human trafficking counts by prosecutors.
