Ghislaine Maxwell went to Chelsea Clinton's wedding while skipping deposition in Epstein case

On Friday, the latest release of court documents related to the Jeffrey Epstein case revealed that Ghislaine Maxwell skipped a deposition to attend Chelsea Clinton's wedding. 

According to court documents from a 2016 discovery request into Maxwell's finances, brought by alleged Epstein victim Virginia Giuffre, revealed that Maxwell was previously served a subpoena for a civil suit against Epstein in 2009. 

After coordinating a time and place, along with securing a confidentiality agreement, "At the eleventh hour Maxwell’s attorney informed plaintiff’s counsel that Maxwell’s mother was very ill and that consequently Maxwell was leaving the country with no plans to return," the documents said.  

The deposition was subsequently canceled and "a short time later, Maxwell was photographed at Chelsea Clinton’s wedding in Rhinebeck, New York," the documents said, "confirming the suspicion that she was indeed still in the country and willing to say anything to avoid her deposition."

According to the New York Post, Giuffre alleged in a 2009 civil case against Epstein that he sexually assaulted her when she was 15. She also claimed that she was "required to be sexually exploited by [Epstein’s] adult male peers, including royalty, politicians, academicians." 

During the Southern District Court of New York's document release into the infamous financier Jeffrey Epstein, which began Wednesday, former President Bill Clinton's name appeared 73 times. In Giuffre's suit against Maxwell, John Doe #36 testified that Epstein said Bill Clinton "likes them young, referring to girls."

The documents also revealed that Maxwell suggested the former president had a meal on Epstein's plane, but refuted the notion that he had visited his Caribbean island, Little St. James. 

"The allegation that Clinton had a meal on Jeffrey's island is 100 percent false," she said. "I'm sure he had a meal on Jeffrey's plane."

Clinton was not accused of doing anything wrong in any of the documents released and denied knowing about Epstein's wrongdoings. Clinton spokesperson Angel Urena released a statement in 2019 that said, "President Clinton knows nothing about the terrible crimes Jeffrey Epstein pleaded guilty to in Florida some years ago, or those with which he has been recently charged in New York."

"In 2002 and 2003, President Clinton took a total of four trips on Jeffrey Epstein's airplane: one to Europe, one to Asia, and two to Africa, which included stops in connection with the work of the Clinton Foundation," it continued. "Staff, supporters of the Foundation, and his Secret Service detail traveled on every leg of every trip. He had one meeting with Epstein in his Harlem office in 2002, and around the same time made one brief visit to Epstein's New York apartment with a staff member and his security detail. He's not spoken to Epstein in well over a decade, and has never been to Little St. James Island, Epstein's ranch in New Mexico, or his residence in Florida."
