Billionaire child abuser had famous contacts

London: Jeffrey Epstein, the billionaire child abuser friend of Prince Andrew , cultivated an extraordinary range of contacts from President Bill Clinton to Mick Jagger, it has been revealed. Court documents disclose how Epstein kept multiple phone numbers, email and home addresses from both sides of the Atlantic. The document was presented as an exhibit as lawyers sought a court’s permission to take evidence from Bill Clinton and his staff, for whom Epstein had 21 numbers, all under the name of his former advisor Doug Band, the Daily Mail reported.

Epstein had multiple contact details for a string of celebrities, including the Rolling Stones frontman Sir Mick Jagger; Donald Trump’s ex-wife Ivana and their daughter Ivanka; and a series of women recorded under ‘massage’ in the document, nicknamed ‘The Holy Grail’ by a former employee. The contents of the document are disclosed as Prince Andrew, the Queen’s second son, fights back against allegations that he had sex with Virginia Roberts who claims she was kept by Epstein as a ‘sex slave’ when she was a 17-year-old minor.

There is no suggestion the presence of the names means that they are accused of any form of wrongdoing.

The document’s existence was disclosed in a series of papers marked Epstein v Edwards at the Federal Court for Southern Florida. The case was first filed in 2010 and in April 2011 supplementary documents disclosed the existence of The Journal. The list of names and addresses points to the vast reach of Epstein’s social circle and takes on new light in the wake of the accusation leveled at Prince Andrew.

It includes a series of politicians in the USA, the UK, and Israel. There are numbers for Bill Clinton’s office in New York, a Washington number, and a number marked ‘do not use’.

There are also home and car phone numbers for senior members of Clinton’s staff, including Doug Band, his former White House ‘body man’ who was incorrectly named as Bands.

Former Israeli Prime Minister Ehud Olmert has three separate telephone numbers. He is now serving a prison sentence for corruption.

Ex-British PM Tony Blair is recorded once, while his former cabinet minister Lord Peter Mandelson has ten numbers recorded, including one marked ‘direct line’. George Mitchell, the former American senator who was a key figure in the Northern Ireland peace process is also on the list.
