Almost 2,000 previously sealed court documents in the Jeffrey Epstein case are unsealed, revealing new ties between his sex trafficking operations and high profile individuals.
The documents were part of a 2015 federal defamation lawsuit by Epstein victim Virginia Roberts Giuffre against Ghislaine Maxwell. The documents claim Epstein directed her to provide services for the following men, among others:
Senator George Mitchell
One of the men accused of having sex with an Epstein victim is former Maine Senator George Mitchell, the once formidable Senate Democratic minority leader who in 2008 — the same year the Epstein deal was finalized — was named one of Time magazine’s most influential people.
Governor Bill Richardson
Former New Mexico Gov. Bill Richardson has received thousands in donations throughout the years from Epstein and associates like Richard Kahn. Epstein owned a massive ranch, the Zorro Ranch, in New Mexico. Richardson was the U.S. ambassador to the United Nations during the Clinton administration.
Tom Pritzker
Tom Pritzker is the CEO of the Pritzker Organization and executive chairman of Hyatt Hotels. He is also the founder and chairman of North American Western Asian Holdings (NAWAH), “an investment and advisory firm seeking to invest in Iraqi companies while advising clients looking to do business in the region.” He is the cousin of Illinois Gov. J.B. Pritzker.
Jean-Luc Brunel
Jean-Luc Brunel is a model scout and former modeling agency manager who lived in Trump Tower until 1999. Some of his models recall taking trips to Mar-a-Lago, the Trump resort that Epstein and Ghislaine used to traffic Roberts Giuffre and other girls. His brother Arnaud Brunel and he cofounded Next Management Corporation and Next Management Company. He founded Karin Models of America in 1995 and MC2 Model Management in 2004 with offices in New York, Miami, and Tel Aviv. MC2 was funded by Jeffrey Epstein. He was also secretly involved in creating The Identity Models in New York and 1Mother Agency in Kyiv, Ukraine. He goes into hiding soon after Epstein’s death.
Glenn Dubin
Glenn Dubin is a billionaire hedge fund manager and co-founder of Highbridge Capital Management and the Robin Hood Foundation. Dubin and his wife, Eva, signed The Giving Pledge in 2012, a promise to give at least half of their lifetime wealth to charity. The Dubins’ former house manager recalls a 15-year-old Swedish girl working for them as a nanny for about a month in 2005, after which they took her back to Sweden and dropped her off at an airport. The girl confided in the house manager that she was forced by Ghislaine Maxwell to have sex with Epstein.
On January 5, 1997, Dubin and his wife Eva flew on Epstein’s private jet with Donald Trump, Ghislaine Maxwell, Epstein’s brother Mark, and Epstein himself.
Marvin Minsky
Marvin Minsky was a scientist whom primarily focused on artificial intelligence. He co-founded the MIT Computer Science & Artificial Intelligence Laboratory. In 2002, he received a $100,000 research grant from Jeffrey Epstein. That same year, he held an academic event on Epstein’s island, followed by a second event in 2011. He died in 2016.
Stephen Kaufman
It’s unclear who exactly the Stephen Kaufman is that is mentioned in the court documents. However, it could be the Stephen Kaufman who once served as a New York City Councilman and ran unsuccessfully for the New York Senate in 2004.
Alan Dershowitz and Prince Andrew were already named as men Giuffre was forced to service before the August 2019 document release. In her sworn testimony, Giuffre claims to have also seen Bill Clinton, Al Gore, and Donald Trump while “working” for Epstein. However, she says she never witnessed anything inappropriate while they were around.
In addition to those listed above, Roberts Giuffre identifies the following people as definitely knowing about Epstein’s operation (copied from TheSun):
RON BURKLE – Billionaire co-founder of The Yucaipa Companies, LLC, a private equity and venture capital firm that specializes in purchasing and then restructuring underperforming companies. He is close friends with Sarah, Duchess of York, and Bill and Hillary Clinton
FREDERIC FEKKAI – The famed hairstylist was the go-to guy when it came to trimming the tresses of the young women in Epstein’s orbit, according to multiple reports and court filings. Fekkai has never been accused of engaging in any illegal activity.
TONY FIGUEROA – Robert’s ex-boyfriend who says that he was asked to recruit girls for Maxwell and Epstein when he was just 17.
CLARE HAZEL – Mystery associate of Epstein whose alleged link to the pedophile remains unclear but who flew with him on the “Lolita Express” – Epstein’s infamous sex plane.
SARAH KELLEN – Epstein’s assistant who managed to avoid charges in Florida, reportedly as part of his sweetheart deal. Many of Epstein’s underage victims have alleged that Kellen scheduled their appointments and facilitated his abuse if underage girls.
NADIA MARCINKOVA – A foreign-born model who many have identified as an accomplice in procuring underage girls for Epstein. She may be just as much a victim of the serial pedophile, however, who claimed to have purchased Nadia from her family at the age of 12.
DAVID ROGERS – Epstein’s pilot, whose flight logs offered proof that Epstein and Maxwell frequently travelled with Roberts when she was an underage.
ADRIANA MUCINSKA – Another Epstein assistant who allegedly helped to facilitate his encounters with underage girls.
EMMY TAYLOR – Maxwell’s assistant at the time that Virginia was allegedly being trafficked by the British-born socialite.
HALEY ROBSON – The high school student who was a victim of Epstein, and then allegedly became one of his biggest recruiters in Palm Beach. She too avoided charges in the Palm Bach case.
LARRY VISKOSKY – Epstein’s pilot whose flight logs and deposition also provided definitive proof that Epstein knew and travelled with a number of his underage victims.
LESLIE WEXNER – The billionaire owner of Victoria’s Secret, The Limited and Bath & Body Works was Epstein’s most prominent client at his money-managing firm.
IGOR ZINOVIEW – The former Russian mixed martial arts fighter who became Epstein’s bodyguard.
Other people Roberts Giuffre says might have knowledge of these events include (copied from TheSun):
DOUG BAND – Bill Clinton’s former aide who travelled the world with Epstein and his boss.
RYAN DIONNE – A former chef of Epstein, who travelled with the pedophile.
ERIC GANY – The man tasked with managing Epstein’s finances.
ADAM PERRY LANG – A former chef of Epstein, who travelled with the pedophile.
PETER LISTERMAN – An associate of Epstein who was once described as “the world’s famous seller of young models to oligarchs” by Kristina Goncharova, a one-time Miss Teen Ukraine who alleges she was one of Listerman’s victims.
TODD MEISTER – Best known for his brief marriage to socialite Nicky Hilton, Meister’s hedge fund was given a huge boost with an investment from Wexner.
