Jeffrey Epstein list: Former US Vice President Al Gore named in court documents
The documents, which were unsealed, were tied to the materials Ghislaine Maxwell sought from Epstein’s longtime accuser, Virginia Giuffre
The court documents linked to a civil lawsuit involving sex trafficker Jeffrey Epstein were unsealed on Wednesday. Spanning over 943 pages, the documents contain a host of names of those associated with Epstein. Among other famous figures who were named in the list was Former US Vice President AI Gore. This unsealing of documents comes after Judge Loretta Preska found that there was no legal justification for redacting the names in December.
Former US vice president named in Jeffrey Epstein list
Gore was the 45th vice president and served under ex-President Bill Clinton, whose name also appeared on the list. The documents, which were unsealed, were tied to the materials Ghislaine Maxwell sought from Epstein’s longtime accuser, Virginia Giuffre, before the civil defamation suit trial.
As per the unsealed court documents, Maxwell requested Giuffre to hand over any pictures or videos involving her and several other famous figures, including Gore. However, Giuffre’s attorneys claimed that the alleged pieces of evidence were already in “custody and control” of the disgraced financer and his partner in crime.
According to Messenger, Gore has not been accused of any wrongdoing and that his picture with Giuffre has never been made public. Moreover, Epstein's accuser previously alleged that the former VP travelled on his private plane with other notable personalities. Despite the unsealing of names, no one other than Maxwell and Epstein has been charged with a crime.
