A newly released court document has revealed a shocking account of a confrontation inside a New York strip club involving the late financier and convicted sex offender Jeffrey Epstein, where his chauffeur allegedly issued a cryptic warning about something he had 'buried'.
Strip Club Confrontation and Chilling Threats
According to the filing, part of a vast trove of documents made public by the US Department of Justice, an unnamed man claimed he encountered Epstein at a Scores strip club franchise in 2008. The man alleged that during a conversation, Epstein stated he wanted a girl 'younger than 16', which the witness found 'disgusting'.
Epstein, who repeatedly identified himself as a 'billionaire', then summoned his chauffeur. The filing states the driver 'showed up immediately', grabbed the man and told him to leave Epstein alone. As the argument continued, the witness said he saw Ghislaine Maxwell 'running toward Epstein'.
The document contains the most startling allegation: the chauffeur then warned Epstein, 'I have something on you, remember what I buried!' Maxwell allegedly retorted to the chauffeur that 'they had that same thing on him.'
Allegations of Targeting a Minor
The witness's account grows even more disturbing. He claimed to have overheard Maxwell tell Epstein she had spoken to a club dancer who had a 15-year-old friend 'out on the street' who 'needed help'. According to the filing, Maxwell 'told Epstein they were going to pick her up when they left the club.'
This allegation was among more than 8,000 pages of documents unsealed this week, shedding further light on the activities of Epstein and his associate Ghislaine Maxwell, who is currently serving a 20-year prison sentence for sex trafficking.
Trump's Flights and a Brother's Bombshell Claim
The document release also contained details about former President Donald Trump's association with Epstein. An email from a New York assistant US attorney in 2020 stated that flight records showed Trump travelled on Epstein's private jet 'many more times than has been previously reported'.
The email specifies eight flights between 1993 and 1996, with Ghislaine Maxwell present on at least four. On one 1993 flight, the only passengers listed were Epstein, Trump, and a then-20-year-old woman. It is crucial to note that Trump's presence in these files does not imply any wrongdoing, and he has not been accused of any crime related to Epstein.
In a separate, unsubstantiated claim deep within the files, Epstein's brother, Mark Epstein, submitted an FBI tip in 2023. He alleged he believed President Trump 'authorized' the murder of Jeffrey Epstein in his jail cell in 2019, a death officially ruled a suicide. The document provided no evidence for this claim.
In response to the release of these allegations, the White House referred to a Department of Justice statement which called some claims 'untrue and sensationalist', 'unfounded and false', and noted they were submitted on the eve of the 2020 election.
