Bill Clinton among names revealed in unsealed Epstein documents

A US judge has begun to unseal documents detailing associates linked to disgraced financier and paedophile Jeffrey Epstein.

Epstein allegedly killed himself in prison in 2019 while he awaited trial for sex crimes.

Over 900 pages of depositions and statements are included in the documents which notably included former US presidents Donald Trump and Bill Clinton and Prince Andrew, who is named at least 67 times.

The list includes approximately 150 people who are identified as John or Jane Doe in a lawsuit that was brought against Ghislaine Maxwell, Epstein's former mistress and accomplice in these sex crimes for more than 30 years, by Virginia Giuffre.

The documents are contained in a long running defamation case brought against Maxwell back in 2015 by Giuffre after she was called a liar over her claims that she was sexually abused as a minor by Epstein and Prince Andrew. 

More documents are to be unsealed and made public in the coming days, including more names to be revealed to have been on Epstein's private jet that travelled to his private island where a lot of these sex crimes allegedly took place.
