Bill Clinton “threatened” a prominent magazine and told staff not to publish articles about Jeffrey Epstein, newly unsealed court documents suggest.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
The claim is made in an email that was written by Virginia Giuffre – Epstein’s first public accuser – in 2011.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
In the message to a journalist, Ms Giuffre alleges that the former US president had walked into the offices of Vanity Fair, and said stories about his “good friend” should not be written.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
Graydon Carter, a former Vanity Fair editor, told The Daily Telegraph: “This categorically did not happen.”<\/p>\n\n\n\n
Ms Giuffre was preparing to release a new book at the time – and describes being worried about what the magazine might publish about her.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
Mr Clinton is among several high-profile figures who have been named in court filings relating to Ghislaine Maxwell, her relationship with Epstein and alleged victims of sexual abuse.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
In documents released on Wednesday, it was claimed that Epstein had said Clinton “likes them young, referring to girls”.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
Back in 2019, a spokesperson for the former president said he had “not spoken to Epstein in well over a decade” and “knows nothing about the terrible crimes”.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
There is no indication of any wrongdoing by Mr Clinton, and Sky News has contacted his foundation for a response to the latest court documents.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
Epstein – a disgraced financier – had been accused of abusing underage girls as young as 14. In 2019, he killed himself in prison as he awaited trial on sex trafficking charges.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
Ghislaine Maxwell is currently serving a 20-year prison sentence after being convicted of helping recruit and groom teenagers for Epstein to molest.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
