Epstein list released: First names revealed by court after two associates appeal to keep their identities hidden
New documents from Jeffrey Epstein have further revealed the pedophile’s relationship with Bill Clinton – and suggested that Ghislaine Maxwell may have had a relationship with Clinton’s aide.
Maxwell, who is currently serving a 20-year prison sentence for sex trafficking, was questioned under oath about her relationship with pedophile Jeffrey Epstein and his associates.
On Wednesday, a trove of 946 pages of court documents from that 2015 case – filed by Epstein victim Virginia Giuffre – were unsealed, detailing how Epstein emailed Maxwell to insist that Stephen Hawking not participate in an underage orgy on his Caribbean island in 2006.
Hawking, the celebrated wheelchair physicist who died in March 2018 at the age of 76, was among the guests at a barbecue during a conference on the island sponsored by Epstein.
Another document, which argues that Maxwell should be forced to appear for further testimony, reveals that Maxwell said under oath that she ‘couldn’t remember’ being in London with Virginia Giuffre and Prince Andrew – despite photos showing the three can be seen together.
The documents also show Maxwell confirming that Bill Clinton dined on Epstein’s private jet while he traveled the world, and denying that the former president ever visited Epstein’s Caribbean island, Little St James.

Maxwell is asked in the April 2016 deposition about her travels with Epstein and Bill Clinton — whom Epstein is known to have visited at the White House several times.
“The claim that Clinton ate on Jeffrey’s Island is 100 percent false,” Maxwell said.
“I’m sure he ate on Jeffrey’s plane.”
She said she did not know how many times Clinton had flown on Epstein’s plane.
Maxwell was also asked about her relationship with Doug Band, a lawyer who helped rebuild Clinton’s post-presidency image after the Monica Lewinsky scandal.
Band worked in Clinton’s White House office and served as deputy assistant to the president before becoming his chief adviser from 2002 to 2011.
With Band’s help, Clinton forged a new role for his post-presidency with his Clinton Global Initiative, which donated millions to charities.
Yet Band was also with Clinton during some of his meetings with Epstein and was on the infamous 2002 trip to Africa on the pedophile’s private jet, which included Kevin Spacey and Chris Tucker as passengers.
Photos from the trip show Clinton receiving a massage from Chauntae Davies, an Epstein victim who worked as a flight attendant on the plane nicknamed the “Lolita Express.”
Clinton afterwards called Epstein a “highly successful financier and a committed philanthropist with a keen sense of global markets and a deep knowledge of 21st-century science.”
Asked if she knows Band, Maxwell replies, “Yes,” adding that she knew him through his work with Clinton.
When asked if she has ever had a relationship with Band, she replies: “We are talking about adult consensual relationships, it is off the record.”
When pressed on the relationship, Maxwell says the attorney should define the term “relationship.”
“What do you mean by romantic?” Maxwell asks. “I was friends with Doug, but you’re implying something more, so I want to be clear about what you’re actually asking me.”
The lawyer, Sigrid McCawley, responds: “You defined it. You said you were friends with him. If you were, that’s all I need to know.”
The long-awaited ‘list’ of 187 previously unknown Jeffrey Epstein associates was revealed today.
The files were made public by the Southern District of New York on January 3, after the appeal deadline had passed, around 6:30 pm on Wednesday evening.
DailyMail.com is now reviewing the documents. Investor Glenn Dubin is the first name to appear in a transcript of a recorded statement with Ghislaine Maxwell in which Maxwell was asked if Epstein accuser Johanna Sjoberg was ever asked to massage Dubin.
Maxwell replied, “I don’t believe it, I have no memory of it.”
Many had already been linked to Epstein and some are the names of previously identified victims.
Three people filed an appeal and one of them was granted: that of Jane Doe 107. Another appeal, filed by John Doe 110, is currently under review.

Doe 110 is said to have been widely associated with Epstein in the past, but filed a last-minute request to remain anonymous.
They are described in court documents as an “alleged Epstein affiliate.”
The names were all redacted in a 2015 lawsuit filed by Virginia Giuffre against Ghislaine Maxwell.
The case was settled in 2017, but the names remained secret until now.
Judge Loretta Preska finally agreed to unseat the documents last December, ruling that there was no longer a legal need to keep the names hidden.
Some have been calling for their release for months.
Among them is Alan Dershowitz, a former Epstein associate who says releasing the documents puts all the information in the public forum and “proves” he did nothing wrong.
Ghislaine Maxwell, who was sentenced to 20 years in prison in June 2022 for her role in the sex trade, has “no say” in the files, according to her lawyer Arthur Aidala.
However, Aidala said the papers may disappoint many who think they will reveal a conspiracy or previously unknown names.
Former President Bill Clinton had long been expected to be one of the names.
Former President Donald Trump would also be present.
