In Johanna Sjoberg’s interview under oath, she described conversations with Jeffery Epstein that mentioned former US president Bill Clinton.

In the court documents, she said Epstein told her that Mr Clinton “likes them young, referring to girls”.

The interview was part of a number of documents from 2015 US defamation case by Virginia Giuffre against Ghislaine Maxwell.

Maxwell confirmed in other documents released that Mr Clinton had travelled on board Epstein’s private jet. She did not know how many times.

Mr Clinton also said he travelled on Epstein’s plane on humanitarian trips to Africa, and at the time praised Epstein as a committed philanthropist.

In a statement released in 2019, a spokesperson for the former president said he had “not spoken to Epstein in well over a decade” and “knows nothing about the terrible crimes”.

Email appears to show Epstein asking Maxwell to ‘issue a reward’ to friends of Ms Giuffre

An email sent from Jeffrey Epstein to Ghislaine Maxwell has also been released as part of the documents. 

It appeared to show the financier ask her to “issue a reward” to any of Virginia Giuffre’s friends who “come forward and help prove her allegations are false”. 

Amongst the allegations listed by Epstein in the email was a  “Clinton dinner”.

In other documents, Maxwell could be seen sending an email in January 2015, shortly after a civil claim had been filed against her, in which she described herself as “out of my depth”.

She added: “I have already suffered such a terrible and painful loss over the last few days that I can’t even see what life after press hell even looks like – statements that don’t address all just lead to more questions… what is my relationship to Clinton? Andrew on and on.”
