New documents in the Jeffrey Epstein sex abuse case dropped late on Thursday with a potential bombshell. A second person now places Bill Clinton at the pedophile’s private sex island. The three networks on Friday devoted a total of 7 minutes and 26 seconds to the case and Ghislaine Maxwell in general, but NEVER mentioned that the former Democratic president has been named.
As Fox News explained, “The data include records of a 2011 meeting between accuser Virginia Giuffre and her lawyers where she talked about the powerful people in Epstein's orbit who she said either flew on his private Boeing 727 or stayed on his private island in the Caribbean. One of the names mentioned was that of former President Bill Clinton.”
Yet, ABC, CBS and NBC explicitly skipped this part of the story. On NBC’s Today, which offered four minutes, reporter Keir Simmons talked to Miami Herald reporter Kevin Hall. Hall vaguely explained, “They name very influential political types, business leaders. Some Hollywood A-listers. They are all mentioned in the documents.”
Yet, while Clinton wasn’t mentioned, Simmons managed to include Donald Trump’s name: “Virginia Roberts Giuffre said she met Ghislaine Maxwell while working as a locker room attendant at President Trump's private estate Mar-a-Lago 20 years ago.”
CBS This Morning allowed 3 minutes and 7 seconds on Maxwell, the woman who allegedly procured young girls for the dead pedophile. Reporter Mola Lenghi spoke of “high profile men” on the island.
The unsealed documents are part of a settled civil suit between Maxwell and Giuffre. They include a deposition in which Giuffre claimed she was sent to have sex with several high-profile men at Epstein and Maxwell's direction, including the owner of a large hotel chain and a foreign president who she described as, quote, Spanish and in his 40s.
Fox News noted this exchange from the documents alleging that Clinton was on the Caribbean island
The lawyer asked her to clarify what she was referring to when she mentioned Clinton, and she said the former president was on the island. She said Maxwell was also there, as well as a person named “Emmy” and two young girls.
“And were all of you staying at Jeffrey’s house on the island, including Bill Clinton?” Scarola asked.
“That’s correct," she responded. "He had about four or five different villas on his island separate from the main house, and we stayed in the villas.”
In May, a tech worker on the island claimed he also saw Clinton there. On Friday, the former president denied ever being there.
ABC’s Good Morning America on Friday mostly buried the story, allowing just a scant 19 seconds. GMA co-host George Stephanopoulos, it should be pointed out, is a former Bill Clinton operative. Reporter Cecilia Vega only briefly explained:
This morning, new evidence and documents in the case against Ghislaine Maxwell. A judge unsealing hundreds of pages of documents about the longtime associate of convicted sex offender Jeffrey Epstein after attorneys for Maxwell argued they hadn't been in contact for a decade. Epstein and Maxwell's emails from 2015 have now been made public.
In January, ABC’s two hour Epstein special allowed three seconds on Clinton.
The blatant attempt to protect Bill Clinton from allegations was sponsored on NBC and CBS by Hyundai. Click on the link to let them know what you think.
