David Copperfield’s Dinner Query

Famed magician David Copperfield is known for making the Statue of Liberty disappear, but he likely wishes he could make his association with Jeffrey Epstein vanish also. The illusionist was named a total of six times in the first batch of unsealed documents. The court transcript indicates that Attorney Sigrid McCawley asked Epstein accuser, Johanna Sjoberg, if she ever met David Copperfield. It was revealed that Copperfield dined with Epstein on several occasions with young girls present. It was also noted that he performed magic tricks. Furthermore, Johanna said Copperfield asked if she was “aware that girls were getting paid to find other girls.” Copperfield’s relationship with Epstein was previously uncovered in a 2019 article from The New York Times. The magician was also accused during the “Me Too Movement” of assaulting a teen model in the late 80s – something Copperfield denies.

A Well-Known Prime Minister

It was revealed in an unredacted 2014 filing that Jeffrey Epstein trafficked victims to powerful men and world leaders - this included a “well-known prime minister.” The document alleges that Epstein integrated the worlds of “politically-connected and financially-powerful people” for the purposes of “business, personal, political, and financial gain.” And, as it turned out, he also used girls to obtain blackmail information on them. The court filings indicate that victim Jane Doe #3 was sent to “numerous prominent American politicians, powerful business executives, foreign presidents, and a well-known prime minister.” Following these encounters Epstein would question her. She alleges that he would get her to “describe the events that she had with these men so that he could potentially blackmail them”. The names of the individuals, including the prime minister, were not mentioned in the documents.

Michael Jackson Visited Epstein’s House

When it was announced that the so-called “Epstein List” was set to be revealed, many were curious if any prominent celebrities would be mentioned. And while several Hollywood stars were among the names included in the court documents, most were not indicated in any wrongdoing. Victim Johanna Sjoberg testified that Epstein name-dropped many celebrity names during the massages she gave him. This included Leonardo DiCaprio, Cate Blanchett, and Bruce Willis. But she maintains that she never saw or met any of them. However, the alleged Jeffrey Epstein victim did claim that late pop star, Michael Jackson, once visited Epstein’s Palm Beach residence. Sjoberg says she was introduced to Jackson but iterated that she did not give him a massage.

Epstein Called Up Donald Trump

Many political pundits waited to see if the former President of the United States would end up in the unsealed Epstein court documents. It turns out that Donald Trump’s name appeared four times, although he was not accused of any wrongdoing. In victim Johanna Sjoberg’s deposition, she recounted that Jeffrey Epstein “called up” Trump. Epstein suggested visiting one of Donald’s casinos after Epstein’s private jet had been diverted from New York City to Atlantic City. She recalled Jeffrey saying, “Great, we’ll call up Trump.” She added that she never massaged Trump. However, in Virginia Giuffre’s testimony, she said that she began working as a masseuse for Jeffrey Epstein when she was 17 and also worked as a spa attendant at Donald Trump’s Mar-a-Lago resort.

New Prince Andrew Claims

Prince Andrew’s affiliation with Jeffrey Epstein is well documented. Epstein’s former girlfriend Ghislaine Maxwell is said to have introduced Andrew to Epstein and the two struck up quite the friendship. The Duke of York has since been accused of atrocious acts by Epstein’s victims – all of which he denies. The unsealed court documents add new flames to the fire for the prince, however. In one witness testimony, Johanna Sjoberg says Andrew inappropriately touched her during a photo. The photo involved a puppet of Andrew, the one used in the BBC series “Spitting Image.” She alleges Ghislaine Maxwell introduced the puppet of Andrew and “they decided to take a picture with it.” After placing the puppet’s hand inappropriately on Virginia Giuffre, Andrew did the same to Sjoberg. Worse, a Jane Doe #3 alleges she was forced to have relations with the prince on several occasions (in several locations) all while she was underage. The documents also show an email sent by Ghislaine Maxwell where she expresses “fear” over being questioned about her links to Andrew. When asked by The Guardian newspaper, Buckingham Palace declined to comment on the released documents noting that Andrew is no longer a working royal.

Stephen Hawking Shocker

One of the most surprising (and unsettling) revelations from the unsealed court papers involves theoretical physicist and cosmologist Stephen Hawking. The documents show an email from Jeffrey Epstein to then girlfriend Ghislaine Maxwell where he asks her to “issue a reward” to any of Virginia Giuffre’s friends to counter various claims. What claims, you ask? As per the email, they included “the Clinton dinner, and the new version in the Virgin Islands that Stephen Hawking participated in an underage orgy.” It was known that the late Stephen Hawking had previously visited Jeffrey Epstein’s private Caribbean Island in 2006 as part of a conference funded by Epstein. The event took place only a few months prior to Epstein being charged with his first offenses. Professor Stephen Hawking died in 2018 at age 76.

Bill Clinton Alleged Preference

Bill Clinton’s ties to Jeffrey Epstein and Ghislaine Maxwell were no secret – with plenty of photos to prove it. But how well did the former President of the United States actually know them? According to Clinton, not well at all. Well, Bill Clinton’s name appeared 73 times in the newly released court docs. While the ex-president is not implicated in anything illegal, he was mentioned as having a rather perverse preference in the opposite sex. In Johanna Sjoberg 2016 testimony, she recalled Jeffrey Epstein telling her that Clinton “‘likes them young.” Most other references to Clinton’s name were related to Virginia Giuffre’s attempts to have him deposed in her suit against Ghislaine Maxwell – which has since been settled. Clinton admits to flying on Epstein’s private jet multiple times but has denied visiting his private island. He also claims to have had no knowledge of Epstein and Maxwell’s crimes.
