NEW DELHI: Confidential court papers from 2015 have linked former
US President Bill Clinton
to the Jeffrey Epstein case. These papers, secret till now, are going to be made public this week.
Epstein's associate
Ghislaine Maxwell
is accused of facilitating the sexual abuse of Virginia Giuffre. She claims Epstein and Maxwell made her have sexual encounters with famous people, including Prince Andrew of Britain.
This big news comes after a judge, Loretta Preska, decided to open these secret papers.
They might reveal the names of more than 150 “John and Jane Does" involved.
The papers are part of a big legal fight with Giuffre. She hasn't accused Clinton, now 77, of doing anything wrong but claims she met him on Epstein's private island in the Caribbean.
Maxwell says this isn't true. As per ABC News, the former US president is named “John Doe 36" in the papers.
In these papers, Clinton's name comes up more than fifty times.
These documents are, however, not expected to implicate
Bill Clinton
in any way. But the references to the former president are made in an attempt to compel him to testify against the late sex offender and his former paramour and coconspirator, Ghislaine Maxwell.
Bill Clinton has also been mentioned in a bid from both Maxwell and Giuffre to make Epstein come clean in 2016 after he repeatedly invoked his Fifth Amendment rights during a deposition in that lawsuit.
Several people identified in the documents have already had their association with Epstein or his vile sex-trafficking ring exposed.
Bill Clinton, who was photographed with Epstein and flew on his private jet on numerous occasions, has denied having any nefarious connections with sex offenders.
