Marrakech – The US Justice Department’s latest release of the Epstein files places renewed scrutiny on convicted sex trafficker Ghislaine Maxwell and her extensive communications with influential figures and institutions in the early 2000s, as reported by CNN.
The newly disclosed documents, part of a release exceeding 3 million files, reveal frequent email exchanges between Maxwell and staff members associated with former President Bill Clinton between 2001 and 2004.
Maxwell, now serving a prison sentence for sex trafficking, was a central figure in Jeffrey Epstein’s social and logistical operations during that period.
CNN’s review shows that much of Maxwell’s correspondence involved coordinating travel, dinners, and last-minute invitations connected to Epstein’s network.
Some emails suggest efforts to include high-profile guests, including the former president himself, although there is no evidence that Maxwell directly communicated with Bill Clinton.
In one April 2003 email sent to a redacted Clinton office address, Maxwell wrote: “Glad you are coming to the dinner – JE says do you think Clinton would like to come – let me know.”
Other exchanges show Maxwell’s role as a social connector between elites. In a December 2001 email, a Clinton staffer asked Maxwell for Prince Andrew’s phone number to organize a golf outing during a trip to Scotland.
“Just spoke to Andrew. He is not currently in Scotland but is going to m. He says if I give him a no. he will ring Clinton. Doug, do you want him to call you?” Maxwell replied.
Some of the communications reviewed by CNN also show Maxwell adopting a flirtatious and informal tone with recipients whose names were redacted but linked to Clinton’s post-presidential office, often labeled simply as “WJC.”
In one email, Maxwell wrote to a Clinton staffer that she told a tabloid what “supper stud you are and how I have a crush on you and how you are hung like a horse and- well you get the picture. Hope you don’t mind!”
Another 2002 explicit exchange from a Clinton-associated email address reads: “Went home with someone I have before, a 40 year old blonde big booby widow if you can believe that. I really need to stop drinking.”
While the identities of most email participants remain obscured, CNN reports that the communications frequently revolved around logistics rather than explicit business dealings.
It remains unclear whether the emails were tied to foundation work or personal relationships involving staff members.
Despite being publicly accused in 2009 of recruiting and sexually abusing girls alongside Epstein, Maxwell continued to maintain access to elite social and political circles for years afterward, according to CNN.
There is no evidence in the newly released files that Maxwell exchanged emails directly with Bill Clinton.
Clinton spokesman Angel Ureña told CNN that the former president did not send any of the emails included in the release.
“I can’t confirm whose it was, I can only tell you whose it wasn’t: Bill Clinton’s,” Ureña said.
Maxwell was convicted in 2021 on federal sex trafficking charges and is currently serving a 20-year prison sentence.
The release of the Epstein files has renewed attention on her role not only as Epstein’s associate, but as a key intermediary who facilitated access, communication, and logistics within some of the world’s most powerful networks.
