January 5, 2024 – Epstein Files: Hillary’s name appears in court docs that suggest the Clinton Foundation was funding Ghislaine Maxwell

Hillary Clinton’s name has appeared in court documents relating to Jeffrey Epstein and Ghislaine Maxwell for the first time, with a newly-published tranche requesting ‘all communications’ from her and 12 other people.

The former Secretary of State’s surprise entrance on the Epstein stage – her husband has been mentioned multiple times, and was known to associate with the late pedophile financier for several years – came as lawyers asked whether the Clinton Foundation was bankrolling Maxwell.

Maxwell, the only person convicted for her role in Epstein’s sex trafficking network, refused to answer.

Hillary Clinton was not known to be close to either Maxwell or Epstein and has never been pictured with either of them.

Her name comes up in a 2016 document filed by Maxwell’s attorneys, relating to Virginia Roberts-Giuffre – an Epstein victim, who sued Maxwell for defamation in 2016.

Hillary Clinton’s name is mentioned in a single line concerning Roberts-Giuffre’s request for ‘all communications with thirteen specific witnesses,’ according to Newsweek.

She does not feature anywhere else in the documents that have been released as of Friday.

Another document shows Roberts-Giuffre trying to assess how much Maxwell is worth, as part of the defamation case.

Roberts-Giuffre’s legal team accuse Maxwell, the daughter of a Czech-British newspaper magnate, of refusing to release her financial records, and imply that she wanted to hide the source of her wealth.

‘For example, Defendant has refused to comply with a discovery request seeking information about her connection to the Clinton Foundation, claiming that such a request is ‘obviously intended to harass and embarrass’ her,’ the court documents state.

‘Nothing could be further from the truth.’

Roberts-Giuffre’s lawyers say that Maxwell intends to claim that she lied about meeting Bill Clinton.

They suggest that Maxwell could be trying to protect Bill Clinton, because his foundation supports Maxwell financially.

It is Defendant who intends to argue at trial that Ms. Giuffre has made inaccurate statements about various interactions with former-President Bill Clinton,’ said Roberts-Giuffre’s legal team.

Of course, if Defendant (or any of her organizations) is receiving funding from the Clinton Foundation, that would provide a clear motive for her to slant testimony on this subject.

Ms. Giuffre is entitled to explore this clear possibility of bias by obtaining information of the financial connections between Defendant and the Clinton Foundation.’

There has never been any evidence that the Clinton Foundation was financing Maxwell, or any other private individuals.
