Court documents released Wednesday from a 2015 defamation lawsuit reveal that a close associate of Hollywood mogul and convicted sex trafficker Jeffrey Epstein claimed Epstein said that former President Bill Clinton “likes them young‚” referring to girls. Clinton‚ who does not face any charges of wrongdoing‚ has denied having a relationship with Epstein. The documents trace back to a defamation lawsuit that Virginia Giuffre‚ an alleged sex-trafficking victim of Epstein’s‚ filed against Epstein’s associate‚ Ghislaine Maxwell‚ in 2015. While Giuffre and Maxwell settled the case out of court in 2017‚ documents from that case remained sealed until Wednesday‚ when Sigrid McCawley‚ Giuffre’s former attorney‚ released them following an order from U.S. District Court Judge Loretta Preska. McCawley released 40 documents Wednesday‚ of an expected 250 documents Preska ordered unsealed. The documents name roughly 150 people in previously redacted parts of the suit against Maxwell‚ who was found guilty of child sex trafficking and other crimes in 2021. A New York judge sentenced her to 20 years’ imprisonment in June 2022. Epstein had been convicted in 2008 on the charges of procuring a child for prostitution and of soliciting a prostitute in a controversial plea deal. Authorities arrested him on July 6‚ 2019‚ on federal charges for the sex trafficking of minors. He died in his jail cell in August 2019‚ and the medical examiner ruled his death a suicide. Clinton’s name appears 73 times in the newly released documents. Maxwell refers to Epstein’s discussion of Clinton‚ Giuffre mentions Clinton‚ Maxwell cites Giuffre’s mentions of Clinton as proof Giuffre was lying about claims she made regarding Clinton‚ and Giuffre claims Maxwell herself bragged about flying a plane with Clinton as the passenger. Clinton’s Statement In a statement to The Daily Signal Wednesday‚ Clinton spokesman Angel Ureña said Clinton and Epstein did not have a close personal relationship. He also noted that Clinton has not been accused of wrongdoing. Clinton did not object to the unsealing of the documents. Ureña noted in a previous statement in 2019 that Clinton took four trips on Epstein’s plane in 2002 and 2003. “President Clinton knows nothing about the terrible crimes Jeffrey Epstein pleaded guilty to in Florida some years ago‚ or those with which he has recently been charged in New York‚” he said at the time. “He’s not spoken to Epstein in well over a decade and has never been to Little St. James Island‚” Epstein’s notorious private island. “A clarification: since I issued the above in 2019‚ it’s now more accurate to say that it’s been nearly 20 years since President Clinton last had contact with Epstein‚” Ureña added in his Wednesday statement. Statement on Jeffrey Epstein. pic.twitter.com/98ha9YYd1l— Angel Ureña (@angelurena) July 8‚ 2019 What Do the Documents Say? In an April 22‚ 2016‚ deposition‚ Maxwell responded to the question of whether “Bill Clinton was a friend of Jeffrey Epstein.” “I knew he had dealings with Bill Clinton‚” Maxwell said. When asked‚ “Did Jeffrey ever talk to you about Bill Clinton?” she replied‚ “He said one time that Clinton likes them young‚ referring to girls.” In a Jan. 12‚ 2015‚ email‚ Epstein told Maxwell that she “can issue a reward to any of [Virginia Giuffre’]s friends [‚ acquaintances‚] family that come forward and help prove her allegations are false.” He noted that “the strongest is the Clinton dinner‚ and the new version in the virgin isalnds that [Steven Hawking participated] in an underage orgy.” This appears to be a reference to Giuffre’s claim that she had dinner with Clinton on Epstein’s island. Sharon Churcher published a 2011 article in the British newspaper The Mail on Sunday quoting Giuffre as saying that Epstein invited “two young brunettes to dinner which he gave on his Caribbean island for Mr. Clinton shortly after he left office.” According to Churcher‚ Giuffre said Clinton “did not take the bait.” “I only met Bill twice‚ but Jeffrey told me they were good friends‚” Giuffre reportedly said. She also said she thought Maxwell flew him back from the island. During her April 2016 deposition‚ Maxwell said of Clinton and Epstein‚ “I can’t recollect having a meal with them‚ but just so we are clear‚ the allegations that Clinton had a meal on Jeffrey’s island is 100% false.” Giuffre later attempted to bring Clinton in for a deposition to disprove Maxwell’s claims. When Giuffre requested more time for depositions‚ partly to include testimony from Clinton‚ Maxwell filed a motion opposing her request. In that document‚ Maxwell claimed that every part of Giuffre’s story was false. “Each and every part of [Giuffre’s] claims regarding President Clinton has conclusively been proven false‚” she wrote. “Former FBI Director Louis Freeh submitted a report wherein he concluded that President Clinton ‘did not‚ in fact travel to‚ nor was he present on‚ Little St. James Island between January 1‚ 2001‚ and January 1‚ 2003.’ Further‚ if any Secret Service agents had accompanied Clinton to that location‚ ‘they would have been required to make and file shift logs‚ travel vouchers‚ and related documentation relating to the visit‚’ and there was a ‘total absence’ of any such documentation. Remarkably‚ [Giuffre] now even denies telling Churcher that she ever witnessed Ms. Maxwell flying President Clinton or his Secret Service anywhere‚ or joking with Clinton about ‘what a good job she did.'” In a May 3‚ 2016‚ deposition‚ Giuffre said her comments in The Mail on Sunday article were “taken out of context.” “Ghislaine told me that she flew Bill Clinton in. And Ghislaine likes to talk a lot of stuff that sounds fantastical. And whether it’s true or not‚ that is what I do recall telling Sharon Churcher‚” Giuffre said. “I told Sharon Churcher that Ghislaine flew Bill Clinton onto the island‚ based upon what Ghislaine had told me‚” she added. 1324-epstein-documents-943-pagesDownload Have an opinion about this article?

Testimony About Jeffrey Epstein: Bill Clinton 'Likes Them Young'

Left to Rot‚ Bedford Springs Celebrates Regaining Its Former Glory

The White House sent out press secretary Karine Jean-Pierre for a round of softball TV interviews on ABC‚ CNN‚ and MSNBC on January 2. George George Stephanpoulos began: "A lot of the polls show him — especially in the battleground states — trailing or tied with Donald Trump. What does the White House think about that? How can you turn it around?" As often happens‚ KJP unspools an answer for more than a minute‚ without interruption. Salesmanship is given space. She can claim Biden “has accomplished more in three years than any other President has been able to do in two terms‚” and no one objects.  Sometimes‚ the host didn't even ask questions‚ just a sentence to move things along. How can anyone see this and think these networks do "news" instead of just offer publicity and spin? NewsBusters managing editor Curtis Houck explains the press-White House partnership. CNN's Audie Cornish only wanted to challenge her from the left‚ that somehow "young voters" thought Biden wasn't doing enough to forgive their student loans without any authorization from Congress. Who cares about the balance of powers!? On MSNBC‚ Jonathan Lemire raised the House impeachment inquiry into Biden‚ but only to disparage it as a waste of time and resources. The January 6 panel never wasted a minute‚ but Comer &; Co. should never have started on the Biden buck-raking in foreign lands.  We conclude by discussing the media's weird coverage of the forced resignation of Harvard president Claudine Gay and the mere "allegations" of plagiarism‚ when it's a well-established fact. Enjoy the podcast below‚ or wherever you listen to podcasts.   

ABC World News Tonight closed out a report on the ongoing Republican presidential primary by echoing Biden campaign talking points on upcoming campaign stops‚ which are aimed at highlighting “the stakes” of the 2024 election. Watch as correspondent Rachel Scott helpfully informs viewers of upcoming Biden events at historic sites to be exploited for political gain and the creation of “symbolic moments”: RACHEL SCOTT: And David‚ President Biden is expected to travel to two deeply symbolic places to draw direct contrast with Donald Trump. On the third anniversary of January 6th‚ the president will deliver remarks near Valley Forge‚ that historic site where George Washington commanded the troops during the Revolutionary War. And then on Monday‚ President Biden expected to speak inside that historic black church in Charleston‚ South Carolina‚ where nine people were gunned down by a white supremacist. His campaign says this is meant to send a message about what's at stake this election. David. The report opens with President Donald Trump’s appeal of the Colorado Supreme Court ruling throwing him off the ballot. From there‚ it switches to the GOP presidential primary; adverse reporting on Gov. Ron DeSantis (R-FL) wherein a voter accuses him of going soft on Trump‚ and neutral to positive coverage of former U.N. Ambassador Nikki Haley‚ who proffers a full quote on the awesomeness of getting attacked by Trump.  The report then closes out with the Biden events.  Thrown in at the end‚ a figurative last word intended to convey Biden campaign messaging to viewers. “What’s at stake” is the 2024 variant of “Democracy is on the ballot” and that Biden is its sole defender. It sounds like a throwaway line but it is really a frame intended to draw viewers away from the GOP portions of the report‚ and to ensure that this‚ the Biden tour‚ is the last thing they remember about this report. By the way‚ ABC News reports that the Biden campaign has rescheduled the Valley Forge event and concomitant Defense of Our Democracy due to inclement weather. Just as George Washington did during the bleak winter of 1777. Click “expand” to view the full transcript of the aforementioned report as aired on ABC World News Tonight on Wednesday‚ January 3rd‚ 2024: DAVID MUIR: Back here at home and to the race for the White House. Late today‚ former President Trump officially asking the Supreme Court now to overturn the decision by Colorado's Supreme Court to remove him from the ballot there. Trump wants the nation's highest court now to ensure he will appear on primary ballots across this country. And in Iowa tonight‚ Ron Desantis‚ and the moment with a voter there asking‚ with Trump 30 points ahead in Iowa‚ why won't Desantis take Trump on more directly? Here's Rachel Scott tonight.  RACHEL SCOTT: Tonight‚ Donald Trump formally calling on the Supreme Court to throw out a Colorado court's ruling blocking him from appearing on the state's ballot. That Colorado court citing the 14th Amendment‚ which bans an "Officer of the United States" who swore an oath to the Constitution and engaged in insurrection from holding office. Tonight‚ Trump's lawyers arguing "the president is not an officer of the United States‚" adding what happened on January 6th "Was not ‘insurrection’"‚ and President Trump "in no way engaged in insurrection." Finally‚ Trump asking the Supreme Court to "return the right to vote for their candidate of choice to the voters." Here in Iowa‚ voters will soon have their say. Trump leads by 30 points. And today‚ Florida governor Ron Desantis‚ pressed on why he isn't hitting Trump harder.  VOTER: Why haven't you gone directly after him? In polls‚ you're down. He's‚ you know- up‚ really…  RON DESANTIS: What do you mean by going directly after him?  VOTER: I mean‚ you're -- in my viewpoint‚ you're going pretty soft on him.  DESANTIS: I think the narrative is this‚ I think what the media wants is they want Republican candidates to just kind of like smear him personally and kind of do that --  VOTER: No‚ no.  DESANTIS: That's just not how I roll.  SCOTT: Meanwhile in New Hampshire‚ polls show former South Carolina governor Nikki Haley pulling into second place‚ and now finding herself the target of new Trump attacks.  NIKKI HALEY: I got to say I love it‚ because I know that means he sees what we're seeing. But literally‚ these temper tantrums that he's having and these commercials that I'm seeing that you're watching‚ every one of them is a lie.  SCOTT: And David‚ President Biden is expected to travel to two deeply symbolic places to draw direct contrast with Donald Trump. On the third anniversary of January 6th‚ the president will deliver remarks near Valley Forge‚ that historic site where George Washington commanded the troops during the Revolutionary War. And then on Monday‚ President Biden expected to speak inside that historic black church in Charleston‚ South Carolina‚ where nine people were gunned down by a white supremacist. His campaign says this is meant to send a message about what's at stake this election. David. MUIR: Rachel Scott in Iowa. Thank you‚ Rachel.  

When asked during a 2016 deposition whether Jeffrey Epstein had ever spoken to her about former President Bill Clinton‚ Epstein accuser Johanna Sjoberg said‚ "He said one time that Clinton likes them young‚ referring to girls."The deposition transcript was reportedly among various documents unsealed on Wednesday.Epstein passed away in jail in 2019 in what was ruled a suicide‚ according to the New York Times‚ which noted that he had been facing sex-trafficking charges. A Clinton spokesperson claimed in a 2019 statement that the former president "knows nothing about the terrible crimes Jeffrey Epstein pleaded guilty to in Florida some years ago‚ or those with which he has been recently charged in New York."Epstein had a painting that depicted Clinton wearing a blue dress and heels‚ the New York Post reported in 2019‚ citing law enforcement sources. "It was hanging up there prominently — as soon as you walked in — in a room to the right‚" a source noted‚ according to the outlet. "Everybody who saw it laughed and smirked."According to the deposition transcript‚ Sjoberg had recollected a time when Epstein had mentioned Donald Trump. "Jeffrey said‚ Great‚ we'll call up Trump and we'll go to -- I don't recall the name of the casino‚ but -- we'll go to the casino‚" she said in the deposition.In 2019‚ Trump said that he "had a falling out with him [Epstein] a long time ago" and had not spoken to Epstein for around 15 years. "I was not a fan of his‚" Trump said. Like Blaze News? Bypass the censors‚ sign up for our newsletters‚ and get stories like this direct to your inbox. Sign up here!

Business tycoon Elon Musk has been blasting DEI‚ which stands for diversity‚ equity‚ and inclusion.Musk described DEI ideology as both unlawful and racist."DEI is just another word for racism. Shame on anyone who uses it‚" Musk wrote in a post on X. "Discrimination on the basis of race‚ which DEI does‚ is literally the definition of racism‚" he noted in another post. "DEI‚ because it discriminates on the basis of race‚ gender and many other factors‚ is not merely immoral‚ it is also illegal‚" he tweeted.In response to Musk‚ GOP Rep. Mike Collins of Georgia quipped‚ "Careful Elon‚ you’re gonna have the libs clamoring to repeal the Civil Rights Act if they can’t discriminate against white people!" — (@) Mark Cuban‚ a businessman widely known for his many years on the television show "Shark Tank‚" responded to Musk by expressing a positive view of DEI."You may not agree‚ but I take it as a given that there are people of various races‚ ethnicities‚ orientation‚ etc that are regularly excluded from hiring consideration. By extending our hiring search to include them‚ we can find people that are more qualified. The loss of DEI-Phobic companies is my gain‚" Cuban tweeted. "Treating people equally does not mean treating them the same. I made the mistake for a lot of years thinking it did‚" he wrote. "This is what Inclusion is all about. Making all employees‚ no matter who they are or how they see themselves‚ feel comfortable in their environment and able to do their jobs‚" Cuban posted. — (@) Musk also hammered DEI last month as well."DEI must DIE. The point was to end discrimination‚ not replace it with different discrimination‚" he posted in December. "'Diversity‚ Equity and Inclusion' are propaganda words for racism‚ sexism and other -isms. This is just as morally wrong as any other racism and sexism. Changing the target class doesn't make it right!" he noted. — (@) Like Blaze News?

While playing Baldur's Gate 3‚ you will quickly learn that Isobel‚ the Selunite Priestess that you meet in Act 2‚ is the daughter of Ketheric Thorm‚ the main antagonist of the act. Considering their connection‚ it makes sense that Isobel isn't the biggest fan of her father.
