Here is the unsealed deposition.

A court document containing detailed information about Ghislaine Maxwell and her relationship with the late sex offender Jeffrey Epstein was unsealed on Thursday morning in New York just moments before a court-imposed deadline.

This document, an April 2016 deposition, is among about a dozen long-awaited Maxwell files that have been unsealed, with the first filing involving Epstein accuser Virginia Giuffre’s lawyer alleging the British socialite avoided a question “about allegedly ‘adult’ sexual activity related to Jeffrey Epstein”.

She also tried to distance herself from and play down links between Epstein and former US president Bill Clinton, who had used the financier’s private plane.

And Maxwell claimed she did not introduce Britain’s Prince Andrew to minor sex partners, in the tense and defensive deposition that was part of a civil case.

Maxwell was also asked at the time about speculation that Epstein may have performed shady financial work for the US and possibly the Israeli governments. KEEP READING
