According to an email in the second tranche of documents related to the late convicted pedophile Jeffrey Epstein, former President Bill Clinton allegedly put pressure on Vanity Fair to kill a story about sex trafficking and his “good friend J.E.”
The documents, unsealed pursuant to a mid-December court order from Manhattan Federal Judge Loretta Preska, were part of a civil lawsuit filed by Epstein victim Virginia Roberts Giuffre against the financier’s convicted co-conspirator, Ghislaine Maxwell.
While the majority of the documents in the first tranche pertained almost solely to the criminal behavior exhibited by Epstein and Maxwell, the second tranche delivered a list of associates whom Giuffre believed could have knowledge of that criminal behavior.
Among those with potential knowledge of Epstein’s and Maxwell’s dealings listed in the documents were Prince Andrew, Duke of York and Clinton; one of Clinton’s advisers, Doug Band; and Sophie Biddle. Others listed in the documents included deceased model scout Jean-Luc Brunel, deceased Gov. Bill Richardson (D-NM), and financier Les Wexner.

According to one email included in the filing, Giuffre wrote to journalist Sharon Churcher about Clinton’s alleged efforts to kill a story that might have shed light on Epstein’s sex trafficking activities.
“When I was doing some research into VF yesterday, it does concern me what they could want to write about me considering that B. Clinton walked into VF and threatened them not to write sex-trafficing [sic] articles about his good friend J.E.,” Giuffre wrote.

Former Vanity Fair editor Graydon Carter pushed back, telling The Telegraph: “This categorically did not happen.”
Journalist Vicky Ward also claimed that Epstein had worked to prevent Vanity Fair from writing a similar story.
“‘I have reports here about you, your husband — I have everything under the sun that was sent to me by people who want to be helpful,'” Ward quoted Epstein, saying he had threatened her directly after she interviewed two of his victims, sisters Maria and Annie Farmer.
Carter denied that as well, saying that the outlet had opted to cut certain information from the story because it had not been submitted in time and had not met legal standards.
The documents do not go so far as to accuse Clinton of doing anything illegal.
The Epstein method of operation is well known at this point, but it's important to see the words of his victims.

Other documents spoke to Epstein’s pattern of behavior — bringing in girls and then sending them out to recruit other girls — and efforts to get the girls in his orbit to become emancipated, giving him more access and control over them.
