THE MESSENGER
Former president Donald Trump regularly had sex with a woman at Jeffrey Epstein‘s Manhattan mansion, and Bill Clinton, Prince Andrew and Richard Branson were caught on a sex tape by the financier, according to a victim who later recanted the claims.
The allegations were made by Sarah Ransome to a journalist, and unsealed in newly public court documents Monday.
The documents were part of a filing in which lawyers for law professor Alan Dershowitz sought to portray Ransome as a liar who contradicted herself and made outlandish claims.
Ransome later gave a victim impact statement in federal court at Epstein co-conspirator Ghislaine Maxwell’s sentencing, in which she she described being trafficked by the pair.
In one undated email released Monday, Ransome said a friend described Trump’s sexual proclivities and alleged the woman regularly had sex with the former president at Epstein’s Upper East Side townhouse, according to court documents.
“She confided in me about her casual ‘friendship’ with Donald. Mr. Trump definitely seemed to have a thing for her and she told me how he kept going on about how he liked her ‘pert nipples’,” the email read.
“I also know she had sexual relations with Trump at Jeffrey’s NY mansion on regular occasions as I once met Jen for coffee, just before she was going to meet Trump and Epstein together at his mansion,” it added.
“These baseless accusations have been fully retracted because they are simply false and have no merit,” said Steven Cheung, a Trump spokesperson.
Ransome later recanted the allegation in an email to journalist Maureen Callahan, according to the records.
“I have spoken to my family at some length this morning and I would like to retract everything I have said to you and walk away from this,” the October 2016 email states.
“I shouldn’t have contacted you and I’m sorry I wasted your time. It’s not worth coming forward and I will never be heard anyhow and only bad things will happen as a consequence of me going public and I know this to be true,” it adds.
In another undated email, Ransome claimed her friend had sex with Bill Clinton, Prince Andrew, and billionaire Richard Branson — and video recordings of the trysts were made by Epstein at his private island.
“I personally can confirm that I have, with my own two eyes, seen the evidence of these sexual acts, which clearly identifies Bill Clinton, Prince Andrew, Richard Branson having sexual intercourse with my friend. I will be more then [sic] willing to swear under oath and testify in court over these sex tapes,” the email states.
The emails were included in a 2017 motion to keep the allegations confidential filed by Dershowitz. He contended the allegations were “deliberate lies.”
A spokesperson for Clinton previously denied the former president ever went to Epstein’s island, and did not comment on the new claims.
