Several high-profile politicians and businessmen were named by Prince Andrew accuser Virginia Giuffre in a newly-unsealed deposition regarding Jeffrey Epstein released today.
The papers are the latest tranche of files from the infamous Jeffrey Epstein ‘list’.
They have been made public this week, and include allegations against prominent businessmen and individuals who were tied to the late pedophile.
The latest trove of documents points at late New Mexico Governor Bill Richardson and former Senate Majority Leader George Mitchell, both Democrats who have been linked to Epstein before.
MIT scientist Marvin Minsky and former Victoria’s Secret CEO Les Wexner – who has also been frequently cited in connection to Epstein – were also named.
The documents are related to a 2015 lawsuit between Giuffre and notorious Epstein madam Ghislaine Maxwell.
Giuffre claimed in 2016 that she was ‘sexually trafficked’ to a group of ‘powerful business executives’ to Mitchell, now 90, in New Mexico and New York.
She said she could not remember how many times this had occurred ‘since we are going back a very long time ago’ but added that she was roughly 17 at the time.
Mitchell served as a US Senator from Maine and was the Senate Majority Leader from 1989 to 1995.
He played a prominent role in foreign policy, having received the Presidential Medal of Freedom for helping to negotiate the Good Friday Agreement in Northern Ireland.
Mitchell later made headlines for his investigation into steroid use in Major League Baseball.
He denied the charges when he was first linked to Epstein following his death by suicide in 2019.
‘I have never met, spoken with or had any contact with Ms. Giuffre,’ he said at the time.
‘In my contacts with Mr. Epstein I never observed or suspected any inappropriate conduct with underage girls. I only learned of his actions when they were reported in the media related to his prosecution in Florida. We have had no further contact,’
