Newly unsealed late Jeffrey Epstein documents have some bombshell allegations about sex tapes involving ex-US President Donald Trump, Bill Clinton, Prince Andrew, and Richard Branson.
A US court on Monday released a new batch of documents related to Jeffrey Epstein, a millionaire and jet-setting financier who killed himself in 2019 while awaiting trial on sex trafficking charges.
According to the unsealed documents, a woman who had accused Epstein of sexual abuse claimed that she had copies of tapes Epstein had made of some of his high-profile friends– including ex-US President Donald Trump, Bill Clinton, Prince Andrew, and British business tycoon Richard Branson– allegedly having sex with an unnamed woman.

Ransome’s allegations were presented to undermine her credibility, but no evidence of the tapes was provided, and she later retracted the claims.
Ransome had made accusations against Donald Trump as well. The documents were part of Virginia Giuffre’s civil claim against Ghislaine Maxwell, and they include images, such as a photo of Peter Mandelson with Epstein.
Speaking on the allegations, Donald Trump’s advisor Cheung told the New York Post, “These baseless accusations have been fully retracted because they are simply false and have no merit”.
Jeffrey Epstein, the financier, who had ties to celebrities, politicians, and royalty, was arrested on multiple disturbing charges. He died by suicide in jail, but questions about his life and crimes remain.
