Convicted sex trafficker Ghislaine Maxwell proposed bringing "slutty women" to a dinner party in a disturbing email sent to an address associated with a former adviser to President Bill Clinton, according to newly released court documents.
Creepy Email Details and Clinton Connection
The email, sent from Maxwell to doug.band@gsa.gov, discussed plans for a dinner in New York. In the message, Maxwell wrote: "Philip just e mailed me your contact info. When we are all back in NY the plan is to do a dinner - we'll have the sluty [sic] Spanish girl which will be nicely counter balanced by the cool poised Swedish type."
She added, "Let me know when you next go to Europe as I do have some interesting and fun friends that you could hook up with. Hopefully we will meet up again soon. Ghislaine."
Doug Band began working at the White House in 1995 and served as a close aide to President Clinton. It is important to note that the email does not in itself reflect any wrongdoing by Band, who had previously instructed staff at the Clinton Global Initiative to remove Maxwell from all lists. The Mirror has contacted AlleyCorp, which lists Band as a team member, and the General Services Administration (GSA) for comment.
Context of the Document Release
This message was included in the latest batch of files released by the US Department of Justice (DOJ) after Donald Trump was legally compelled to make public documents connected to the late financier and convicted child sex trafficker, Jeffrey Epstein.
A previous trove of documents included photos of former President Clinton with various celebrities. Clinton has not been accused of any wrongdoing and has consistently denied any knowledge of Epstein's sex offences.
Other images within the documents show Maxwell, who was convicted of sex trafficking offences in 2022, with famous individuals. One notable photo depicts Maxwell looking on as the then-Prince Andrew lay across several women at Sandringham. Prince Andrew has also denied any wrongdoing regarding Epstein.
Political Fallout and Scrutiny Over Redactions
The Trump administration has faced significant scrutiny over the handling of these files. While Trump vowed to release them while on the campaign trail, he later branded them a "hoax" after entering office for a second term, with administration officials giving confusing statements about their existence.
The files released on December 19 featured substantial redactions, drawing criticism. It has also been alleged that the administration failed to properly redact the name of a victim who wished to remain anonymous, raising further concerns about the process.
Jeffrey Epstein was first convicted of child sex offences in 2008 and died in a New York prison cell in 2019, with his death ruled a suicide. The ongoing release of documents continues to shed light on the scale of his network and the powerful figures within it.
