Ghislaine Maxwell’s elite list remains secret
The list of elites involved in Jeffrey Epstein’s and pal Ghislaine Maxwell’s pedophile ring remains under wraps even after Maxwell was sentenced last week to 20 years in federal prison.
Maxwell, who recruited and groomed girls as young as 14 for Epstein, was privy to visits by Epstein’s prominent friends who came to visit the late billionaire’s “Pedophile Island” and who flew with Epstein on the “Lolita Express.” Some of those visitors include England’s Prince Andrew, who was stripped of his royal title and military affiliations following accusations by one of Maxwell’s trafficked victims, Virginia Giuffre, who alleged the royal had sex with her three times at the age of 17. Prince Andrew has since settled the lawsuit.
President Donald Trump was also named as a friend of Epstein and Maxwell and appeared in at least one photograph with the convicted sex traffickers, though court testimony is not clear on how close the friendship was. According to Jeffrey Epstein’s brother Mark, Trump flew on the Lolita Express once because “he needed a ride back to New York.”
Trump reportedly banned Epstein from his Mar-a-Lago club in 2008 for trying to seduce a teenage girl.
Other Epstein guests include former President Bill Clinton, who visited Lolita Island 26 times and has appeared in photographs with Epstein and Maxwell. Clinton’s degree of friendship with Epstein appears to be deeper than that of Trump or even Prince Andrew. Maxwell was even invited to former First Daughter Chelsea Clinton’s wedding in 2010, where Chelsea had a “strict no-strangers policy” and invited only those whom she personally knew.
Maxwell kept a list of several high-profile “John Does” who would be “exposed to media attention” if implicated with participating in the criminal sex ring. In January, Maxwell notified Judge Loretta Preska of the Southern District of New York that she would no longer fight to keep the list private, leaving it up to the court to decide to unseal the names.
But the names continue to remain sealed.
Before Epstein and Maxwell were convicted, these Epstein associates were protected by the mainstream media for years. According to video footage published in 2019 by guerilla journalists at Project Veritas, the Disney-owned ABC News sat on an accusation by Virginia Roberts (now Giuffre) against Epstein.
“I’ve had the story for three years… we would not put it on the air,” ABC News anchor Amy Robach said on hot mic. “It was unbelievable what we had, Clinton, we had everything.”
Robach also said the network was threatened by the Royal Palace “a million different ways.”
“We would not put it on the air. Um, first of all, I was told, who’s Jeffrey Epstein? No one knows who that is. This is a stupid story," Robach said on the video recording. "Then, the Palace found out that we had her whole allegations about Prince Andrew and threatened us a million different ways. We were so afraid we wouldn’t be able to interview Kate [Middleton] and [Prince] Will[iam] that we, that also quashed the story.”
ABC News’ parent company Disney is known for having at least 35 employees arrested on child-predator charges.
