The newly released file contains names of around 170 people, Judge Preska’s December ruling states.

They were previously referred to as “John and Jane Does” depending on their gender to conceal their identities.

ABC News has reported that Bill Clinton is “Doe 36”, mentioned in more than 50 of the documents.

There is no indication of any wrongdoing by the former US president.

He was photographed with Epstein and admitted being associated with him in a philanthropic capacity, but his representatives have said he cut off all contact with him in 2005 – before he faced criminal allegations.

Virginia Giuffre’s 2015 lawsuit is reported to include a claim that she met the former president on Epstein’s private Caribbean Island, Little St James.

Flight logs kept by one of Epstein’s private pilots have confirmed Mr Clinton flew on Epstein’s plane several times between 2002 and 2003 – as part of humanitarian projects in Africa – as well as to Paris, Bangkok and Brunei.

He previously said in media reports Epstein was a “highly successful financier and committed philanthropist” and that he “appreciated his insights and generosity during… a trip to Africa to work on democratization, empowering the poor, citizen service and combating HIV/AIDS”.

In 2019, Clinton’s spokesperson said he had “never been to Little St James Island, Epstein’s ranch in New Mexico or his residence in Florida”.

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

Mr Clinton’s legal team has not lodged an appeal against his naming in the case.
