A federal judge in New York has unsealed the identities of about 170 associates of Jeffrey Epstein as part of a long-running lawsuit between one of his accusers and his sex-trafficking partner, Ghislaine Maxwell.
The documents are being posted to the public court docket on a rolling basis, with the first batch unsealed Wednesday evening. A source familiar with the rollout told Business Insider that additional documents naming more of Epstein's associates would be published on Thursday.
Former President Bill Clinton is perhaps the biggest name disclosed in the documents thus far. He was previously identified as "Doe 36" and was named in dozens of redacted court filings. He didn't object to unsealing the documents naming him, and the documents don't level any new accusations of wrongdoing.
In one newly unsealed document, an excerpt of a deposition given by Maxwell, Maxwell said she didn't know how many times Clinton flew on Epstein's private jet but that she was "sure" he had a meal while flying on it. Elsewhere, an Epstein accuser testified she didn't see Clinton on the financier's notorious private island in the US Virgin Islands, contradicting previous reporting. And in another deposition, a victim of the pedophile said Epstein told her Clinton liked girls "young."
