Nearly 950 pages of documents were made public on Wednesday, Jan. 3, from Jeffrey Epstein victim Virginia Giuffre’s lawsuit. None of the people listed are accused of wrongdoing, but the documents do reveal associations with Epstein. Around 250 more documents are expected to be unsealed in days to come.
One notable new name is magician David Copperfield. From the testimony of one victim, Johanna Sjoberg, Copperfield had asked her at a dinner “if she was aware girls were getting paid to find other girls.”
Sjoberg said she “knew Epstein had dealings with Bill Clinton,” and that “Clinton likes them young, referring to girls.” Sjoberg testified she never saw the former president or his vice president, Al Gore. Gore was also named in the documents.
Sjoberg said she did meet Michael Jackson at Epstein’s Palm Beach house, as well as French modeling agent Jean-Luc Brunel. Brunel eventually hanged himself while awaiting trial for accusations of raping young girls.
Sjoberg was asked if she ever met Donald Trump, Kevin Spacey, George Lucas or former Victoria’s Secret CEO Lex Wexner, and said no.
Many of the names now unredacted were already previously made public in some capacity, including Prince Andrew, former New Mexico Gov. Bill Richardson, lawyer Alan Dershowitz and Executive Chairman of Hyatt Hotels Thomas Pritzker — all of whom have denied wrongdoing in their association with Epstein.
