Hundreds of pages of unsigned documents from a lawsuit related to sex offender Jeffrey Epstein were released last night (Wednesday). This is the first set of documents that has been revealed and more documents are expected to be revealed in the coming weeks. The documents, which include materials that have not yet been revealed, include nearly 200 names, including former US presidents Bill Clinton and Donald Trump and Prince Andrew.
The documents contain affidavits from Epstein's victims. Among them is Johanna Sjoberg, who described the British Prince Andrew in many of the sexual acts he forced on her.
Sjoberg's story has been published before, but this is the first time her affidavit has been revealed. The latter sometimes worked for Epstein and in her testimony, she reveals hard evidence of the acts against her.
Prince Andrew and Sjoberg previously reached an out-of-court settlement in her sexual abuse lawsuit against him, according to a court document filed by her lawyers on Tuesday. Andrew has denied the allegations against him.
The deposition transcripts include references to several prominent names, as previously reported, including Prince Andrew as well as Bill Clinton, former President of the United States.
In one of the documents, Sjoberg's statement from 2016 was presented, in which she claimed that Epstein had previously told her that Clinton "loves them young." President Trump is also described in Sjoberg's testimony, who claimed that during a flight in Epstein's private plane, the pilot announced that they would have to change the flight path and land in New Jersey instead of New York City, and Epstein said: "Great, we'll call Trump and go to the casino."
When asked if Clinton was a friend of Epstein's, she replied that she understood that Epstein had "deals" with Clinton. Clinton's spokesman confirmed in 2019 that the former president had flown on Epstein's private jet, but said Clinton knew nothing about his "heinous crimes."
