Jeffrey Epstein list live updates: Bill Clinton forced US magazine not to write about 'good friend' Epstein

Ghislaine Maxwell will use the unsealed Jeffrey Epstein documents show that she is not the “horriblest person on earth”, claimed Prince Andrew's cousin. The convicted sex trafficker has once said that others were "even worse" than her.

In an exclusive interview with The Sun, author Christina Oxenberg, who is Prince Andrew's second cousin, said:"It all benefits Ghislaine in terms of ‘It wasn't just me. I'm not the horriblest person."

“You remember she said that word in her prison interview. 'I'm not the horriblest person on earth. There's worse than me.”

“Like we care, like we need to know who's worse than Ghislaine. She's working this in her favor,” Christina said.

All allegations against Prince Andrew must be thoroughly investigated, said Nazir Afzal, the former chief crown prosecutor for northwest England, adding that the Duke of York should speak with the officials over his Epstein links.

Earlier, the royal had avoided speaking to the officials, despite his pledge to do so.

Speaking to The Sun, Afzal said:"These allegations are too serious to be ignored. The UK police have failed to investigate any since they were first made."

"The Prince has studiously avoided speaking to the authorities despite several times saying he would. We're either serious about tackling abuse or we're not - and power and position should be no bar to accountability."

King Charles is facing massive pressure to completely cut ties with Prince Andrew and ban him from all royal gathering after his name appeared in recently unsealed Jeffrey Epstein documents.

“The King has no option but to completely cut ties with Andrew. He will forever be tainted by his association with Epstein and despite his denials of wrongdoing, the constant drip of information about Epstein and Ghislaine Max­­well is a stain on the Royal Family. There is no way back for him. Andrew should have no place in public alongside the King or any other member of the Royal Family," a royal source told The Mirror

One of the documents is a deposition from Joseph Recarey, a detective from Palm Beach who was the lead investigator on a previous case against Epstein in the mid-2000s. In the deposition, Recarey describes how Jeffrey Epstein and Ghislaine Maxwell allegedly used a scheme to find and recruit girls “to perform massages and work at Epstein’s home.”

When a lawyer asked Recarey how many girls he had interviewed about being recruited by Maxwell, Recarey replied, “I would say approximately 30; 30, 33.”

Megyn Kelly has suggested that people may soon hear from late paedophile Jeffrey Epstein “directly” amid the disclosure of hundreds of pages of documents related to him. On the Megyn Kelly show, she said, “We’re not done with Jeffrey Epstein. I can tell you that for a fact. I can’t tell you how I know, but I can tell you for a fact we’re gonna hear a lot more about Jeffrey Epstein in the coming year, and you may be even hearing from him directly. More on that as I’m allowed to tell you.” Read more

According to the court transcripts released by the court contain details about the former British royal’s alleged abuse. In her deposition, Sjoberg said she and Giuffre once met Prince Andrew at Epstein’s home, and that Maxwell brought out a puppet that looked like the royal. “There was a little tag on the puppet that said ‘Prince Andrew’ on it, and that’s when I knew who he was,” Sjoberg testified.

And then out came the camera. “They put the puppet on Virginia’s lap, and I sat on Andrew’s lap, and they put the puppet’s hand on Virginia’s breast, and Andrew put his hand on my breast, and they took a photo,” Sjoberg said.

In a transcript of a deposition given by Epstein accuser Johanna Sjoberg, she said Epstein once told her that Clinton “likes them young, referring to girls.”

Clinton is not accused of any misconduct in the unsealed documents. In a statement after Epstein’s arrest in 2019, Clinton said he had not spoken to Epstein in “well over a decade” and had known “nothing about the terrible crimes” of which his former friend stood accused.

Epstein's sex offence victim Virginia Giuffre alleged in an email that Clinton “threatened” Vanity Fair over Epstein coverage. In an email to Churcher, Giuffre wrote that Clinton once walked into the Vanity Fair office “and threatened them not to write sex-trafficking articles about his good friend J.E."

In denying the allegations against her and Epstein, Ghislaine Maxwell has repeatedly smeared victim Virginia Giuffre, calling her an “absolute total liar” and “an exaggerator, a fantasist and absolutely true terrible person” in court depositions.

In documents released Thursday, Maxwell’s attorneys accused journalist Sharon Churcher of helping Giuffre sensationalize or even fabricate details of her abuse allegations in order to boost sales of a memoir she was working on. “Not only is Churcher aware that the allegations were false, she helped Plaintiff concoct the stories,” the defense wrote.

Jeffrey Epstein had asked an underage girl to get emancipated and live with him. “He wanted me to be emancipated,” she said. Documents released on Thursday revealed deposition given by an anonymous accuser, who said Epstein sexually abused her when she was between 15 and 17 years old.

The abuse — which so many other accusers have testified was typical — began under the pretense of a massage. She said Epstein “took [her] clothes off without [her] consent” the first time they met. “I just was there, and all of a sudden something horrible happened to me,” she said.

Mark Epstein, the younger brother of disgraced financier Jefferey Epstein, doesn't think that alleged blackmail sex tapes existed but accepted that he heard plenty of gossips.

“This is just an opinion — I never really believed they existed,” Mark told The NY Post.

“Jeffrey was buying islands in the Virgin Islands. He had his own private 727 [jet]. Do you think he needed to make money by extortion?” he added.

Reacting to social media's claim that his name might appear in the Epstein list, late-night host Jimmy Kimmel defended himself with a post on X, formerly known as Twitter. He said, "For the record, I’ve not met, flown with, visited, or had any contact whatsoever with Epstein, nor will you find my name on any “list” other than the clearly-phony nonsense that soft-brained wackos like yourself can’t seem to distinguish from reality."

Jimmy Kimmel is not bothered at all. Laughter filled the air as Hollywood's brightest stars gathered to celebrate comedy legend: Jim Carrey's 60th birthday! While there were whispers about Jimmy Kimmel's past links to Jeffrey Epstein, it didn't seem to bother him on this happy night. Kimmel, seen in pictures looking relaxed and happy with Carrey, seemed unaffected by the rumors. Read more

In the latest batch of unsealed documents pertaining to Jeffrey Epstein’s sexual abuse of teenage girls, a high-school girl said something horrible happened to her when she went to the disgraced financier's house for the first time, thinking she had been hired to give him a massage.

“I don’t recall exactly how I was propositioned to get there. I was just there, and all of a sudden something horrible happened to me,” she said, adding that Epstein removed her clothes with her consent.

She also explained how hard it was for her to forget the details of her sexual encounters.

The victim, whose name remained sealed, said that she even brought other girls from her high school but none of them were her friends.

“Sometimes I would go over and I would just swim and I would get paid, or I would take a nap and I’d get paid, or I would just hang out and I’d get paid,” she said. “It wasn’t my assumption that they were coming over to do anything. I did not know, once the door was closed or once they went to another area of the home. I often just went over and did my own thing while they were doing whatever they were doing. It was none of my business.”

More documents are expected to be released on Friday and Monday for a total of 240, Associated Press reported. The upcoming documents are expected to name more than 170 Epstein associates, former employees and victims.

The latest documents released on Thursday contained the accounts of some of Epstein’s young victims, including high school students who were paid $200 to give him illicit massages.

After Virginia Giuffre, several women came forward and said that they were abused by Jeffrey Epstein over several years. As many as 100 women have given statements to prosecutors or lawyers, reported The Miami Herald, an American daily newspaper.

Take a look at some of the alleged victims:

Anouska de Georgiou

In a heartfelt speech in New York, Anouska de Georgiou became the first British woman to publicly identified herself as victim of Epstein.

Johanna Sjoberg

Sjoberg claimed that she was lured into Epstein circle by Maxwell and Prince Andrew touched her breast while they were posing for a photo with Epstein at the disgraced financier's mansion.

Jena-Lisa Jones

Jones alleged she was molested by Epstein at the age of14, and she was paid $200 for giving him a massage.

Sarah Ransome

According to Ransome, she was forced to have sex with Epstein flew at his private island in 2006.

Courtney Wild

Along with some anonymous victims, Wild sued the federal government in 2011 over Epstein's 2008 plea deal. She accused him of preying on vulnerable girls.

Michelle Licata

Licata alleged that she was assaulted by Epstein at the age of16.

Maria Farmer

Farmer, who filed with Giuffre's lawsuit, claimed she was sexually assaulted by Epstein and Maxwell.

Jennifer Araoz

Araoz, who was hired outside school when she was 14 to give massage to Epstein, claimed he raped her.

After the release of Jeffrey Epstein documents, Juanita Broaddrick -- who alleged that she was raped by Bill Clinton in 1978, claimed that ex-US President once said that he was 'sterile due to mumps'. Taking to X (formerly Twitter), she said that Democrats even asked to 'put some ice' on her bleeding lips.

Clinton was named as a client of Epstein in the newly released court documents.

The lawyer of Virginia Giuffre, who was one of the first alleged victims to speak out publicly, praised the release of Epstein documents and stressed that it is a move towards ‘shutting down sex trafficking’.

"The public has wondered and many have rightly demanded to know how Epstein operated his vast, global sex-trafficking enterprise and got away with it for decades," said Sigrid McCawley, the managing partner of Boies Schiller Flexner.

“The public interest must still be served in learning more about the scale and scope of Epstein's racket to further the important goal of shutting down sex trafficking wherever it exists and holding more to account.”

The Caribbean island that belonged to the convicted sex offender Jeffrey Epstein was notorious for being a haven for paedophiles. Now, the New York Post reports that it will be turned into a resort.

The Paedophile Islands have a new owner, Stephen Deckoff, a billionaire who runs Black Diamond Capital Management. He paid $60 million for the islands in May 2023, according to Forbes.

The islands, named Great St. James and Little St. James, had been on sale for over a year. They were initially priced at $125 million in 2021, but the price was reduced to help fund the settlements for Epstein’s victims. Read more

Bill Clinton was spotted smiling, greeting fans in Mexico hours after the Jeffrey Epstein list was released. Clinton was named among many other prominent people.

The 77-year-old former president was seen visitingSan Miguel de Allende, a city in the central Mexico state of Guanajuato. Mayor Mauricio Trejo Pureco shared a photo of Clinton on X, captioning it, “Even Bill Clinton walks calmly and safely through the streets of San Miguel de Allende.” Clinton was seen shaking hands with a passerby while having coffee.

Presidential hopeful Robert F Kennedy Jr, who had flown with disgraced financier Jeffrey Epstein on two occasions, said that he is not bothered about the information surfaced from the unsealed documents.

Kennedy appeared on NewsNation’s Dan Abrams Live on Wednesday night and said that he likes "what's happening today". It is to mention that Kennedy has not been mentioned in the court documents that were made public on Wednesday.

“I like what’s happening today. I like the fact that all these papers are being released. I’ve been an advocate for transparency. I think the government keeps too many secrets,” Kennedy said. “I think it’s important for the American public to know whether Jeffrey Epstein had some kind of corrupt influence on public officials or any public figure.”

In a 31 minute video entitled "The Epstein list and guilt by association", Jeffrey Epstein's former lawyer Alan Dershowitz spoke about his ties with the disgraced financier and insisted his innocence regarding the allegations remerged in the documents.

"The accusation against me from day one. I knew and said, and proved, was totally and completely false," he stated. "The woman who accused me, ultimately admitted that she may have mistaken me for somebody else, and she dropped all her lawsuits and legal claims against me."

Withdrawing accusation made against Dershowitz, Epstein's first public accuser Virginia Giuffre stated that she "may have made a mistake" in identifying him as an abuser.

“Of course I'm on the list, I was his lawyer. I flew on his plane with other lawyers several times,” Dershowitz said in the video.

Virginia Giuffre, who alleged that Jeffrey Epstein sexually abused her, said that journalist Sharon Churcher distorted her statements and published some false claims that angered her. Giuffre expressed her frustration at some of the things that Churcher wrote.

According to Tony Figueroa, he saw Ghislaine Maxwell bring “young girls” to Epstein’s house for “sex acts.” He said this in his testimony.
