The release of a fresh batch of court documents from the Jeffrey Epstein civil case has sent shockwaves across the globe, unearthing a series of bombshell allegations that implicate a host of powerful and famous figures. The unsealed papers, part of a 2015 defamation case brought by victim Virginia Giuffre against Ghislaine Maxwell, paint a disturbing picture of the inner workings of Epstein's sex trafficking ring.
Clinton's Alleged 'Liking' for Young Girls
Among the most incendiary claims is a deposition from witness Johanna Sjoberg, who alleged she was told by Epstein and Maxwell that former US President Bill Clinton "likes them young." Sjoberg testified that this remark was made in reference to young girls, though she clarified she had no first-hand knowledge to support the claim. The documents do not allege any illegal activity by Clinton, but the mere association adds a deeply troubling layer to the scandal.
The Magician and the Massage
Sjoberg's testimony also placed famed illusionist David Copperfield at a dinner party at Epstein's home. She alleged that Copperfield, who she believed was a friend of Epstein's, once inquired if she was aware that "girls were getting paid to find other girls." In a bizarre twist, Copperfield also allegedly performed magic tricks at the dinner and later asked Sjoberg if she would like to participate in a show, which she declined.
Prince Andrew's Sweat-Free Debunking
A now-infamous anecdote about Prince Andrew is detailed once more. Sjoberg recounted an evening where the Duke of York placed his hand on her breast while posing for a photograph with a puppet that bore his likeness. Perhaps more damagingly, she directly contradicted the Prince's long-standing alibi that he was unable to sweat due to a medical condition, stating she witnessed him sweating on the night they met in 2001.
The Shadow of Intelligence Ties
Perhaps the most chilling revelation points to Epstein's potential connections to intelligence services. Witnesses testified that Epstein suggested he was involved in espionage. Sjoberg stated he claimed to be a "spy for Israel or something," while a former employee said Epstein boasted he was an "officer of the CIA." These claims, while unproven, suggest a far more complex and sinister operation than previously understood, hinting at possible blackmail and influence peddling at the highest levels.
The unsealing of these documents marks a significant moment in the long-running saga, providing gruesome detail and corroborating victim testimonies that point to a vast network of abuse and impunity.
