The final set of documents relating to a 2015 civil suit against Jeffrey Epstein dropped on Tuesday, and they include accusations of sex trafficking against some big names.
The documents, which first began to be released on January 3rd, include numerous depositions and thousands of pages related to Epstein's victimization of Virginia Giuffre. Some of those accused within them included Bill Clinton, Donald Trump, Richard Branson, and Prince Andrew.

This last dump includes sex trafficking allegations against several prominent figures, including Bill Richardson, who was a member of the Clinton administration and the Governor of New Mexico.
The final set of Jeffrey Epstein-related documents in a 2015 lawsuit between accuser Virginia Giuffre and his accomplice Ghislaine Maxwell revealed the plaintiff had accused Bill Richardson, Marvin Minsky and Les Wexner of sex trafficking her in a 2016 deposition.

Richardson was the former Democratic governor of New Mexico and former President Clinton's ambassador to the United Nations. He died in September. Minsky was a leading computer scientist at the Massachusetts Institute of Technology who died in 2016. Wexner is the founder of Limited Brands and former Victoria's Secret CEO. The Wexner Foundation did not immediately respond to a call seeking comment.
Richardson is no longer alive to face these allegations, as he passed away in 2023. His close relationship with the Clintons is interesting in this case given that Bill Clinton himself is accused of wrong-doing in the documents. How far did this go? How many politicians were involved? We still don't have a final answer to that question.
Of note is that while Alan Dershowitz is also accused, those accusations may be outdated. While he's named in the 2015 lawsuit documents, he later received a statement from Giuffre saying that she mistakenly identified him.
Giuffre also said she was sex trafficked to a "well known prime minister." whose name was not mentioned and accused Alan Dershowitz, a prominent criminal defense attorney, who has repeatedly denied any wrongdoing. Giuffre and Dershowitz had previously sued one another and then agreed to drop their cases as she publicly said she "made a mistake in identifying Mr. Dershowitz."
Despite all the allegations included in the documents, as of this writing, not a single one of Epstein's clients has been charged, much less brought to justice. That's pretty astonishing given how much information has been known for nearly a decade (and in some cases, longer). How can a sex trafficker have a book full of clients and not a single one be implicated? Epstein wasn't just sex-trafficking girls to himself.
The U.S. government has a lot of explaining to do regarding how all of this was handled.
