Her husband, former President Bill Clinton and their daughter, Chelsea, have also been named, but they have not been accused of any wrongdoing.
Attorneys for Virginia Giuffre, who accused sex offender Jeffrey Epstein of abusing her, sought in a 2015 defamation lawsuit against his associate Ghislaine Maxwell, all of her communications with former President Bill Clinton and his wife former Secretary of State Hillary Clinton.
The Clintons were part of a list of “thirteen specific witnesses” with whom Ms. Giuffre’s attorneys sought their communications.
The document is part of dozens containing hundreds of pages of records that were released on Jan. 5, the latest tranche of evidence a judge ordered unsealed.
The 2015, defamation lawsuit was settled in 2017. Ms. Maxwell is currently serving time in a Florida prison for conspiring with Mr. Epstein to sexually abuse underage girls.
Former President Bill Clinton’s name was already mentioned in the first tranche of documents released on Jan. 3.
Ms. Giuffre, who in 2011 alleged that President Clinton had a “close personal relationship” with Ms. Maxwell and Mr. Epstein, tried unsuccessfully to have President Clinton deposed, according to an unsealed filing.
A document in the latest (third) batch also mentions President Clinton in the context of document and photograph requests as part of the lawsuit against Ms. Maxwell.
The Clintons’ daughter, Chelsea Clinton, was also named in a document that notes Ms. Maxwell was photographed at her New York wedding in 2010.
With the release of the latest batch, all three Clintons are now named in Epstein documents, though none of them has been accused of any wrongdoing.
A spokesperson for President Clinton confirmed in 2019 that the former president had flown in Mr. Epstein’s private plane but that he knew nothing about the sex offender’s “terrible crimes.”
The Epoch Times contacted the Clinton Foundation for further comment but received none by press time.
U.S. District Judge Loretta Preska, an appointee of President George H.W. Bush, ordered the release of the filings last month.
