New Jeffrey Epstein-related court documents unsealed on Monday reveal sexual allegations that were made against former Presidents Donald Trump and Bill Clinton, as well as Prince Andrew and Richard Branson.
This is the fourth time out of four document dumps from the 2015 lawsuit by Virginia Giuffre against Epstein confidante Ghislaine Maxwell that have made mention of Clinton.
Monday’s document dump, totaling 327 pages, revealed more information from a lawsuit filed against Epstein, Maxwell and other alleged co-conspirators in 2017 by a woman named Sarah Ransome, under the pseudonym “Jane Doe 43.”
Ransome, who also also a witness in the 2015 lawsuit by Giuffre, produced numerous photographs from Epstein’s private island.
She testified that several of the photos were taken by French model scout Jean Luc Brunel who, like Jeffrey Epstein, died by suicide in his prison cell while awaiting trial. Brunel had been charged with the rape of underage girls and sexual harassment by French authorities.
Sarah Ransome also shared numerous emails that claimed she had copies of sex tapes Epstein made of people such as Trump, Clinton, Branson, and Prince Andrew.
“She confided in me about her casual ‘friendship’ with Donald,” Ransome wrote in one email to a friend. “Mr. Trump definitely seemed to have a thing for her and she told me how he kept going on about how he liked her ‘pert nipples.’
“I also know she had sexual relations with Trump at Jeffery’s NY mansion on regular occasions as I once met Jen for coffee, just before she was going to meet Trump and Epstein together at his mansion.”
She added that her friend “was one of the many girls that had sexual relations with Donald Trump” at Epstein’s home.
Ransome claimed in another email that a friend of hers had video that they had been filmed by Epstein that “clearly identify the faces of Clinton, Prince Andrew and Branson having sexual intercourse with her.”
She also claims that her friend went to police and reported Jeffrey Epstein, Clinton, Branson and Prince Andrew, but that “nothing was done.”
Later, she accused Hillary Clinton of sending people who “heavily intimidated her” and forced her “to sign a confidentiality agreement which ensures that she can never come forward publicly implicating her husband.”
Sarah Ransome also wrote in an email, “I personally can confirm that I have, with my own two eyes, seen the evidence of these sexual acts, which clearly identifies Bill Clinton, Prince Andrew, Richard Branson having sexual intercourse with my friend. I will be more then [sic] willing to swear under oath and testify in court over these sex tapes.”
However, in 2019, Ransome recanted her claims, telling the New Yorker that “she had invented the tapes to draw attention to Epstein’s behavior, and to make him believe that she had ‘evidence that would come out if he harmed me.'”
“I have spoken to my family at some length this morning and I would like to retract everything I have said to you and walk away from this,” she wrote in an email to journalist Maureen Callahan.
“I shouldn’t have contacted you and I’m sorry I wasted your time. It’s not worth coming forward and I will never be heard anyhow and only bad things will happen as a consequence of me going public and I know this to be true.”
Trump, Clinton, Branson and Andrew have all denied any wrongdoing and have not been charged with any crimes.
