Opinion Custom – Screenshots: The Calvin Coolidge X Image/USA Today YouTube Video A second batch of court documents related to the billionaire pedophile Jeffrey Epstein, released on Jan. 5, 2024, is shedding light on the former President Bill Clinton’s alleged involvement in protecting his “good friend” from being exposed for his sex-trafficking activities. According to Virginia Roberts Giuffre, one of Epstein’s alleged victims, Clinton threatened Vanity Fair not to write about Epstein’s sex trafficking. Giuffre made the allegation in a 2011 email discussing an interview regarding her book. In the email to a journalist, she expressed concern and asked about the story pertaining to it. The email claiming that Clinton marched into the offices of Vanity Fair and demanded that they shut down investigative pieces into Epstein’s sex trafficking has sparked a lot of controversy and discussion on social media. Even some Democrat-compliant personalities expressed shock and disappointment at Clinton’s alleged actions. Left-wing social media personality Ed Krassenstein called the allegations “pretty damning.”
The email also claimed that Clinton is “a key person who can provide information” about his close relationship with Maxwell and Epstein. An Epstein victim claimed in the court documents that Epstein called Clinton “likes them young, referring to girls.” A representative for Graydon Carter, Vanity Fair’s longtime editor, categorically denied the contents of the email. Vicky Ward, a reporter on a Vanity Fair story from 2003 that raised questions about how Epstein earned his money, also claimed that Carter had been pressured by Epstein himself.
This paints a poor light on the magazine. Vanity Fair isn’t the only outlet to have covered-up stories about Epstein. Former ABC News anchor Amy Robach was caught on a hot mic in 2019 saying that the Epstein scandal being blown wide open was frustrating, considering she had information on his crimes years prior. “It was unbelievable what we had,” Robach said of Epstein, his crimes, and his high-profile associations – including Bill Clinton. “Clinton, we had everything,” she continued. “I tried for three years to get it on to no avail. And now it’s all coming out and it’s like these new revelations, and I freaking had all of it.”
