The Mail Online reports: A transcript of the three-way phone call was released last night amid a slew of newly-unsealed court documents from Giuffre’s 2015 lawsuit against Maxwell – after a failed ‘eleventh hour’ attempt by the alleged madam to keep the files secret.
The transcript shows Giuffre speaking to her lawyer Brad Edwards and a third attorney Jack Scarola, detailing her allegations of how Maxwell and Epstein had her recruit other girls to pimp out to rich and powerful men.
‘What instructions were you given about what to look for?’ Scarola asked Giuffre in the 2011 conversation. ‘Young, pretty, you know, a fun personality. They couldn’t be black,’ Giuffre replied. ‘If they were any other descent other than white, they had to be exotically beautiful. That was just about it.’
When asked who gave her those criteria, the alleged former sex slave said ‘They both gave us the instructions, and it wasn’t just me, Jeffrey asked most girls to bring a friend and make extra money.’
Though many of the documents released Thursday night contain claims that have already been reported in the shocking, years-long case, the 2011 transcript has never been published before.
Giuffre described to her attorney Edwards and Scarola, who has been involved in the cases of seven alleged victims of the billionaire pedophile, the disturbing detail of her first sexual encounter with Epstein and Maxwell at his Florida mansion, after the alleged madam recruited her while she worked at Donald Trump’s Mar-a-Lago club nearby.
‘I was introduced to Jeffrey, he was laying naked on top of the massage table, and obviously for one, I’m a 15 year old girl and seeing him on the table was weird but, also learning about anatomy and massage, I thought this would be part of it,’ Giuffre claimed in the phone call.
She said that after 40 minutes Epstein rolled over exposing himself, and Maxwell instructed her to take off her Mar-a-Lago uniform.
‘I was there with just my undies on, and she was completely bare, and made some kind of little flake about the underwear that I was wearing,’ Giuffre told the attorneys.
‘I was expected to lick his nipples, instructed on how to do so by J.E. and give him oral sex while he wanted to fondle me, and then at the end, I was told by Ghislaine to get on top and straddle Jeffrey sexually.’
Giuffre told the lawyers that she was pimped out to at least eight of Epstein’s male friends. Though she refused to name them in the 2011 phone call, she famously later claimed they included the Queen’s son Prince Andrew, Next Top Model scout Jean-Luc Brunel, and Epstein’s lawyer, Harvard professor Alan Dershowitz.
All the men have denied any sex abuse or wrongdoing.
Giuffre did however name several celebrities in the phone call who she claimed traveled on Epstein’s private jet, including former president Bill Clinton and vice president Al Gore, models Naomi Campbell and Heidi Klum, Simpsons cartoon creator Matt Groening and the granddaughter of documentarian and explorer Jack Cousteau.
In the documents, Giuffre made six references to Clinton, claiming he also visited Epstein’s private Caribbean island – an allegation that Clinton has previously denied.
‘You know, I remember asking Jeffrey what’s Bill Clinton doing here kind of thing, and he laughed it off and said well he owes me a favor. He never told me what favors they were. I never knew. I didn’t know if he was serious. It was just a joke,’ she said.
‘He told me a long time ago that everyone owes him favors. They’re all in each other’s pockets.’
When asked where Clinton was, Giuffre told the attorneys: ‘On the island.’
She claimed that Maxwell and two ‘young girls’ from New York were also on the island when Clinton visited with Epstein.
When lawyers asked if all of them were staying on the island ‘including Bill Clinton’, Giuffre replied: ‘That’s correct. He had about 4 or 5 different villas on his island separate from the main house and we all stayed in the villas.’

newspunch--2020-08-01--Bill Clinton Has Again Denied Going To Epstein’s Pedo Island

Former US president Bill Clinton is denying that he ever visited Jeffrey Epstein ’ s private island .
The denial was issued after newly released court documents claimed that he and “ two young girls ” were guests of the late pedophile in the early 2000s .
Clinton claims he was never been to Epstein ’ s Carribean Island , nor his ranch in New Mexico , or his residence in Florida Breitbart reports : Angel Urena , a spokesperson for the ex-commander-in-chief , pushed back on the court documents Friday , asserting on social media that Clinton “ has @ @ @ @ @ @ @ the Caribbean where Epstein built his estate .
The response came after a federal court judge on Thursday unsealed thousands of documents pertaining to Epstein and his one-time girlfriend and alleged co-conspirator , Ghislaine Maxwell .
The documents were part of a defamation lawsuit brought against Maxwell by Virginia Roberts Guiffre , one of Epstein ’ s most high-profile victims .
One of those documents , in particular , was a 2011 deposition Guiffre gave in which she claimed that Clinton was a guest at Epstein ’ s private estate in the U.S. @ @ @ @ @ @ @ House .
Guiffre , who was 17-years-old at the time of the alleged visit , claims that Clinton stayed at the estate with “ two young girls ” from New York .
“ I remember asking Jeffrey what ’ s Bill Clinton doing here kind of thing , and he laughed it off and said , ‘ Well he owes me a favor , ” Guiffre told lawyers .
“ He never told me what favors they were , ” she added .
“ I never knew .
I didn ’ t know @ @ @ @ @ @ @ just a joke… He told me a long time ago that everyone owes him favors .
They ’ re all in each other ’ s pockets.
” Clinton ’ s appearance stood out , according to Giuffre , since Epstein ’ s Caribbean estate was known as a locale where “ orgies were a constant thing that took place.

The late sexual predator was a prominent donor to @ @ @ @ @ @ @ bids .
Their relationship , in particular , seemed to reach its height after Clinton left office , with the former president taking at least 26 different flights on Epstein ’ s private plane— dubbed the “ Lolita Express ” —between 2001 and 2003 .

Ms Giuffre claimed in the suit and other litigation that she was recruited by Maxwell in 2000 to be a sexual slave to Epstein and was also pressured into having sex with US politicians, wealthy entrepreneurs, a famous scientist and a fashion designer.
The Duke, all the accused men and Maxwell have denied the allegations. But a photo that emerged of Andrew with his arm around a young Ms Giuffre in a mansion in London put the royal close to the centre of the scandal.
Two of Epstein’s victims, known only as Jane Doe 1 and Jane Doe 2, alleged the convicted paedophile depended on his high-profile friends, including Andrew, to help him secure a reduced sentence from the US attorney in south Florida.
They appealed for the release of the documents in the case as they said it would prove Andrew’s involvement in Epstein’s case.
“[They are] seeking documents regarding Epstein’s lobbying efforts to persuade the government to give him a favourable plea arrangement, including efforts on his behalf by Andrew and former Harvard law professor Alan Dershowitz,” claimed the victims.
“They have alleged these materials are needed to prove their allegations that, after Epstein signed the non-prosecution agreement, his performance was delayed while he used his significant social and political connections to lobby the justice department to obtain a more favourable plea deal.”
In 2008, Epstein pleaded guilty to soliciting a minor for prostitution as part of a secret “sweetheart deal” offered by Florida prosecutors. He was only sentenced to 13 months in jail, though much of it was spent outside of a prison and he was allowed to travel to his office almost daily.
As a result of the scandal, Andrew sought to distance himself from Epstein. But after the latter was released from prison in 2010, the Duke was pictured spending time with his former friend, which he said was a “mistake and an error”.
Ms Giuffre was asked by her lawyers as part of her deposition in 2016 if Andrew would have “relevant information” that would be useful to investigators.
She said: “Yes, he would know a lot of the truth. I don’t know how much he’d be able to help you with, but seeing as he’s in a lot of trouble himself these days I think he might, so I think he might be valuable.”
The newly released documents also reveal email correspondence between Maxwell and Epstein, who died in August last year while in prison for other charges.

During Friday’s House committee hearing, Fauci explained why the shutdown didn’t have as much of an impact as desired in comparison to other countries.
‘I stand by my previous statement that the increase in cases was due to a number of factors, one of which was that in the attempt to reopen, that in some situations, states did not abide strictly by the guidelines that the taskforce and the White House had put out and others that even did abide by it, the people in the state actually were congregating in crowds and not wearing masks,’ Fauci said, when asked by Rep.

newspunch--2020-08-02--Dershowitz: The Age of Consent Must Be Lowered, ‘Statutory Rape Is An Outdated Concept’

Alan Dershowitz , who stands accused of having sex with multiple alleged Jeffrey Epstein victims , says “ statutory rape is an outdated concept ” and there should be “ Romeo and Juliet exceptions ” to statutory rape law .
The age of consent should be lowered to as young as 14 because “ voluntary sex is so common in their age group “ , according to Dershowitz who published an op-ed titled “ Statutory Rape Is An Outdated Concept ” in the late 90s .
Years later , Dershowitz defended the column on Twitter , at an awkward time @ @ @ @ @ @ @ team that got convicted sex offender Jeffrey Epstein a plea deal that sent him to prison for 18 months in 2007 , a sentence that was described as “ the deal of the century ” amid claims he should have received a much longer sentence .
“ This raises a fundamental question about the continuing legitimacy of statutory rape laws at a time when sex involving teenagers is so rampant and prosecution for statutory rape so selective , ” Dershowitz wrote in the op-ed .
“ It is obvious that there must be @ @ @ @ @ @ @ children , but it is doubtful whether such sanctions should apply to teenagers above the age of puberty , since voluntary sex is so common in their age group.
” Dershowitz then suggests that the age of consent should be lowered to 15 , or perhaps even 14 .
Facing a barrage of criticism — for his handling of the Epstein plea deal , for the allegations against him and now for this column — Dershowitz has remained unapologetic .
He told the Jewish Telegraphic Agency last year that “ I have no @ @ @ @ @ @ @ controversial people .
That ’ s what I do .
If I ’ m in a case , my job is to get the best possible result.
” He similarly defended the controversial 1997 op-ed in a series of tweets .
According to Dershowitz , there should be “ Romeo and Juliet exceptions ” to statutory rape .
“ I stand by the constitutional ( not moral ) argument I offered in my controversial oped , ” he wrote .
“ [ I ] f a 16 year old has the constitutional right @ @ @ @ @ @ @ parental interference , how could she not have the constitutional right to engage in consensual sex ?
… I did not suggest that it is moral to have sex with a 16 year old , but rather that the issue presents a constitutional conundrum worthy of discussion.
” Dershowitz , a prominent defense lawyer and emeritus Harvard University law professor , is now facing accusations of sexual abuse from two of Epstein ’ s alleged victims — Virginia Roberts Giuffre and Sarah Ransome .
He denies the accusations against him .
