Also named in the first batch of documents are Ghislaine Maxwell, Prince Andrew, and US magician David Copperfield

Forty court documents containing information on associates of late paedophile Jeffrey Epstein – including former US presidents Donald Trump and Bill Clinton – have been made public.

More than 150 associates of the disgraced paedophile are expected to be unmasked in the trove of documents, which are being unredacted as part of an 18 December court order.

US judge Loretta Preska ordered that the court filings in a lawsuit brought against Ghislaine Maxwell by Epstein victim Virginia Giuffre must finally be unsealed and the names of up to 200 “John and Jane Does” unredacted.

    And what will happen? Didn’t Q-Anon start fighting a supposed pedo ring in a pizza place? They’ll totally turn on Trump now, right? Right?

    Huh. I didn’t realize David Copperfield was still alive.

      It’s his greatest trick: shutting the fuck up. David Blaine will never understand.

        I always think less of people who believe celebrities should just perform and keep their mouths shut on everything else.

        Usually you think that way because the celebrity says things you don’t like, or you’re living vicariously through them and want them to make the same business decisions you would.

          Or you might believe just because they’re a great performer doesn’t mean they have more expertise on a topic outside their area than the average Joe and is just as interesting. Yet, somehow people’s opinion seems to matter more once they’re in the spotlight.

            Thinking celebrities’ opinions immediately carry more weight than other’s is not the same as believing celebrities should not voice their opinions at all.

              But it does carry more weight. If a celibrity voices an opinion it’s almost guaranteed to become public.

              That doesn’t make it more valid though, it can still be bullshit. And that’s why people may conclude it best, if performers focus on their area of expertise. I don’t think less of people coming to that conclusion.

    Reminder that Prince Andrew’s victim Virginia Giuffre was trafficked at Mar a Lago. Her father worked there and got her a job as a spa attendant at Mar a Lago, where she met Gishlaine Maxwell, who brought her to Epstein.

    I am no Clinton apologist but the head of secret services said none of this ever happened.
