Former President Bill Clinton (D) will soon be named in court documents linked to convicted sex criminal Jeffrey Epstein, the New York Post revealed Sunday.
According to the Post, the documents are scheduled to be released in a few days and those papers will identify 77-year-old Clinton as “John Doe 36.”
The former president is reportedly named more than 50 times in the redacted papers connected to a 2015 lawsuit from one of Epstein’s accusers, identified as Virginia Giuffre.
The outlet continued:
Many of the references to Clinton are believed to stem from Giuffre’s attempts to compel the former president to testify against the late sex offender and his former paramour and co-conspirator, Ghislaine Maxwell.
Other Clinton mentions are expected to be related to attempts from both Maxwell and Giuffre to make Epstein come clean in 2016 after he repeatedly invoked his Fifth Amendment rights during a deposition in that lawsuit.
More than 170 names of individuals with links to Epstein are expected to be uncovered in the documents after a federal judge in Manhattan decided they should be unsealed, the Post article said.
