A second batch of court documents related to the late billionaire pedophile Jeffrey Epstein dropped on Thursday, shedding some light on the former President Bill Clinton’s alleged involvement in protecting his “good friend” from being exposed for his sex-trafficking activities.
Virginia Roberts Giuffre, one of Epstein’s alleged victims, claimed that the former President walked into the Vanity Fair office and threatened them not to write about Epstein’s sex trafficking.
Giuffre made the allegation in a 2011 email discussing an interview regarding her book.
“When I was doing some research into VF (Vanity Fair) yesterday, it does concern me what they could want to write about me considering that B. Clinton walked into VF and threatened them not to write sex-trafficking articles about his good friend J.E.,” the email to a journalist reads.
“Should I be asking what is this story pertaining to?” she added.

Did Clinton Threaten Vanity Fair Not To Report On Epstein?
The email claiming that Clinton marched into the offices of Vanity Fair and demanded that they shut down investigative pieces into Epstein’s sex trafficking has sparked a lot of controversy and discussion on social media.
Even some normally Democrat-compliant personalities expressed shock and disappointment at Clinton’s alleged actions.
Left-wing social media personality Ed Krassenstein called the allegations “pretty damning,” adding that they are “not criminal, but certainly scumbagish and disgusting if true.”
Clinton’s name has been peppered throughout the Epstein document releases. The court documents in question stem from a 2016 defamation lawsuit filed by Giuffre against Ghislaine Maxwell, who is currently serving 20 years in prison for her involvement in the late billionaire pedophile’s crimes.
The first round revealed that the Epstein victim’s lawyers had argued that Clinton “is a key person who can provide information about his close relationship with (Maxwell) and Mr. Epstein.”
One of the most shocking claims from the newly released documents has come from another woman who claimed that Epstein sexually abused her, saying that the world’s most famous pedophile told her “Clinton likes them young, referring to girls.”
Epstein died in prison back in 2019 while awaiting trial on sex trafficking charges.

Vanity Fair Downplayed The Epstein Story
A representative for Graydon Carter, Vanity Fair’s longtime former editor, vehemently denied the contents of the email stating to The Telegraph, “This categorically did not happen.”
Vicky Ward, the reporter on a Vanity Fair story from 2003 raising questions about how Epstein earned his money, had allegedly interviewed two women who said the financier had abused them when they were underage. The article did not include the allegations.
Ward, according to The Telegraph, claimed that Carter had been pressured by Epstein himself, having “visited the magazine’s office to exert pressure” on them and demanding that they “spiked abuse allegations made against” him.
It’s one of two things – either somebody pressured Carter not to run the story, or he decided to spike it on his own, silencing victims from telling their stories because Epstein, as Ward states, was “sensitive about the young women.”
Neither conclusion shines a positive light on the magazine.
Vanity Fair isn’t the only outlet to have covered-up stories about Epstein.
Former ABC News anchor Amy Robach was famously caught on a hot mic in 2019 saying that the Epstein scandal being blown wide open was frustrating, considering she had information on his crimes years prior.
“It was unbelievable what we had,” Robach said of Epstein, his crimes, and his high-profile associations – including Bill Clinton.
“Clinton, we had everything,” she continued. “I tried for three years to get it on to no avail. And now it’s all coming out and it’s like these new revelations, and I freaking had all of it.”
