Court documents reveal names of powerful men allegedly linked to Jeffrey Epstein

Court documents made public on Wednesday disclosed the names of dozens of powerful men with alleged connections to convicted sex-trafficker Jeffrey Epstein who died by suicide in 2019.

Federal Judge Loretta Preska in Manhattan unsealed the documents, revealing the names of numerous individuals described in a 2015 civil lawsuit as associates, affiliates or victims of Epstein.

The documents include references to former Presidents Bill Clinton and Donald Trump, the magician David Copperfield, Prince Andrew, former Israeli Prime Minister Ehud Barak, actor Kevin Spacey, lawyer Alan Dershowitz, the late New Mexico Governor Bill Richardson, and former Vice President Al Gore, among others.

The fact that people were named in these documents doesn't mean any of them face allegations or evidence of wrongdoing.

the guy courted every rich and powerful guy on the planet. he didnt offer girls to all of them.
imho, bill doesnt strike me as someone who likes little girls. he aint afraid of a grown ass woman, and i’m pretty sure he never had trouble getting them himself.

but i also know that shoving these girls on ppl to get kompromat on them was the m.o. i wouldnt b surprised if for a lot of those that did partake it was the 1st/only time. some pedos he caught in his net, some he created. doesnt make them not a pedo. or make it ok. but the dude was like a drug dealer, getting ppl hooked at every opportunity.

They were at a party and Andy was getting annoyed that Fergie was paying too much attention to Meat. He accosted Meat and pushed him. Meat pushed him back...

Andrew: "You can't touch me. I'm royalty."

Meat Loaf: "Royalty or not, push me again and your ass is going in the pool."

“I personally witnessed the Plaintiff being forced to perform various sexual acts with Donald J Trump and Mr Epstein,” Tiffany Doe said in the statement. “Both Mr Trump and Mr Epstein were advised that she was 13-years-old ... I personally witnessed four sexual encounters that the Plaintiff was forced to have with Mr Trump during this period, including the fourth of these encounters where Mr Trump forcibly raped her despite her pleas to stop.”

Both the alleged victim and Tiffany Doe spoke of a 12-year-old girl named Maria who had “disappeared” after one of Epstein’s parties, and that Trump told the alleged victim she would meet the same fate if she ever revealed the alleged crime.

The intersection of the sets is the real issue and we just don’t know until evidence turns up.

Rich and powerful people can afford their own entertainment. Royal Rubbish needed the cover, since his affairs are public. He shouldn’t have accepted the job if the office has glass walls.

Whether it’s the holy hand grenade, or the orgasmic orb, F royal pervs.



(Different perv portrayed above.)



Randy Andy should have kept his phallus in the palace.
