Documents released in connection to the lawsuit filed by Virginia Giuffre against Ghislaine Maxwell suggest that an extremely close personal relationship between former President Bill Clinton and Jeffrey Epstein existed.
The deposition of Epstein accuser Johanna Sjoberg revealed that Epstein had allegedly mentioned Clinton’s preference for younger girls, stating that “Clinton likes them young,” Fox News Digital reports.
When questioned by Sigrid McCawley, the lawyer for Giuffre, Sjoberg indicated that she was aware of Clinton’s dealings with Epstein but only learned about their friendship through a Vanity Fair article detailing their joint trip to Africa.

While Clinton’s spokesperson, Angel Urena, denied a close personal relationship between Clinton and Epstein, the documents indicate Giuffre’s motion to depose additional witnesses, including Clinton, based on their alleged “close personal relationship.” Urena reiterated that Clinton’s last contact with Epstein was 20 years ago.
In the broader context of the unsealed documents, a New York federal judge ordered the release of numerous names associated with Epstein, including Clinton, as part of the 2015 lawsuit involving Giuffre and Maxwell.
Some names, including those of minor victims and a wrongly identified individual, will remain sealed, with concerns raised about potential physical harm if certain names are disclosed.
The unsealing of documents is related to a lawsuit settled in 2017, where Giuffre accused Epstein and Maxwell of trafficking her when she was 17 years old.
Epstein, a convicted sex offender in Florida, died in 2019 at the Metropolitan Correctional Center in New York while awaiting federal trial for sex trafficking; his death was ruled a suicide.
As the documents shed light on alleged associations and activities involving Epstein and influential figures, questions about the extent of these connections and their implications continue to emerge. Clinton has not been accused of any improper conduct related to Epstein in the released documents.
