Bill Clinton Allegedly ‘Threatened’ ‘Vanity Fair’ Staffers Over Report On ‘Good Friend’ Jeffrey Epstein, Court Documents Claim
Former President Bill Clinton allegedly warned Vanity Fair not to publish articles regarding the sex-trafficking allegations against “his good friend” Jeffrey Epstein. Clinton reportedly stormed into their newsroom and began to “threaten” them.
According to the newly unsealed court documents, Virginia Giuffre, an Epstein accuser, mentioned Clinton in a 2011 email exchange with Sharon Churcher, a journalist in the Daily Mail.
The emails exchanged were advice given to Giuffre on whether she should do an interview and sell a photo to the publication. Churcher even offered to help her get a book deal back then.
“When I was doing some research into [Vanity Fair] yesterday, it does concern me what they could want to write about me considering that B. Clinton walked into VF and threatened them not to write sex-trafficking articles about his good friend J.E.,” Giuffre wrote in an email.
How Giuffre learned of the alleged threats is unknown, but former Vanity Fair editor Graydon Carter told the Telegraph, “This categorically did not happen.”
In another document, it is reported that Clinton traveled with Epstein and Ghislaine Maxwell, and may have information on their “sexual trafficking conduct.”
These files were the last batch released on January 4. It included over 40 court papers containing names of famous and rich people connected to Epstein, including Clinton.
Other notable names were Prince Andrew and Stephen Hawking, both already mentioned in previous files.
The documents name 170 associates, former employees, and victims connected to Epstein. They are part of the defamation lawsuit that Giuffre had filed against Maxwell in 2015, which is now settled.
Last month, Manhattan federal Judge Loretta Preska ordered the release of the complete set of the documents.
Thousands of pages of documents from the lawsuit were already public, but a couple of sections and names had been redacted due to privacy concerns.
Another victim, Johanna Sjoberg, claims that he groped her while she sat on his lap in the Manhattan townhouse back in 2001.
Sjoberg also claimed that Epstein told her that Clinton “likes them young.”
A Clinton spokesperson referred to a 2019 statement that Clinton “knows nothing about the terrible crimes” Epstein committed and has not spoken to him in “well over a decade.”
The spokesperson also claimed that the former president only took Epstein’s plane in 2002 and 2003 for work at the Clinton Foundation.
Sjoberg also claims to have met Michael Jackson at home at Epstein’s Palm Beach, Florida, but denies anything happened.
