MORE secret court documents about Jeffrey Epstein and his high-profile pals have been released.
It comes as more than 900 pages of documents including emails, depositions and legal papers spanning the 2010s were unsealed by a US judge.
The documents were part of a 2015 lawsuit filed by Virginia Roberts Giuffre against Epstein’s madame Ghislaine Maxwell.
Prince Andrew, Bill Clinton, Michael Jackson, Stephen Hawking and Donald Trump are among the high-profile figures named in the documents, which include previous testimony by Maxwell.
The documents shed further light on how Epstein would rub shoulders with the rich and famous – openly bragging about celebs he would claim to know.
Two rounds of legal files were released earlier this week while a third batch were unsealed tonight.
A fourth batch is expected to be released tonight.
Exhibit one of the lastest files released has revealed the list of search terms used by lawyers while combing through Maxwell’s emails as part of the defamation case.
They include ‘Andrew’, ‘Prince’, ‘Royal’, ‘Clinton’, ‘underage’, ‘pedophile’ and many of the victims’ names
It comes as the files revealed another Andrew accuser Johanna Sjoberg – who claimed the Prince groped her – also testified that Epstein told her Clinton “likes them young” when talking about girls.

One 2014 court filing listed on page 129 of the unsealed documents alleges that Maxwell “facilitated Prince Andrew’s acts of sexual abuse by acting as a ‘madame’ for Epstein”.
It goes on to claim that Jane Doe 3, understood to be Giuffre, was kept as a sex slave by Epstein and was “forced to have sexual relations with this Prince when she was a minor in three separate geographical locations.”
The alleged incidents happened “in London (at Ghislaine Maxwell’s apartment), in New York, and on Epstein’s private island in the US Virgin Islands (in an orgy with numerous other under-aged girls).”
The unsealed docs claim Epstein told Jane Doe 3 to “give the Prince whatever he demanded”.
He also allegedly “required Jane Doe #3 to report back to him on the details of the sexual abuse”.
Jane Doe 3, according to the filing, was trafficked to “foreign presidents, a well-known prime minister, and other world leaders”.
Giuffre has previously claimed she was forced to have sex with Andrew in three separate locations, including in an orgy on Epstein’s island.
In a transcript of her deposition, Maxwell claims Andrew only ever visited Epstein’s ‘paedo’ island once.
She added that no girls were present during the prince’s visit – only female staff.
The documents quoting Maxwell read: “There were no girls on the island at all. No girls, no women, other than the staff who work at the house.
“Girls meaning, I assume you are asking underage, but there was nobody female outside of the cooks and the cleaners.”
And she denied ever “at any time, at anyplace, in any moment ever asked Virginia Roberts or whatever she is called now to have sex with anybody.”
Andrew has always denied any wrongdoing and told the BBC in 2019 that he had never met Virginia Giuffre.
Maxwell also said under oath that she “did not recall” being in London with Giuffre (then Roberts) and Andrew – despite photographs showing the three together.
The documents also revealed that Epstein told Maxwell she could offer money to Giuffre’s friends if they were to “help prove” the accusations “were false”.
Meanwhile, in a 2015 email, Epstein appears to say that Giuffre had claimed scientist Stephen Hawking had taken part in an ‘underage orgy’.
His email reads: “You can issue a reward to any of Virginia’s friends, acquaints, family that come forward and help prove her allegations are false.
“The strongest is the Clinton dinner, and the new version in the Virgin Islands that Stephen Hawking participated in an underage orgy.”
All of the unsealed legal information comes from the 2015 civil lawsuit filed by Giuffre against Maxwell for defamation.
It came after Maxwell’s spokesperson described Giuffre’s allegations against her and Epstein as “obvious lies”.
Giuffre later launched a legal battle against Prince Andrew in 2021, accusing him of sexually abusing her at Epstein’s mansion and raping her when she was 17.
She also alleged in court documents she was recruited by Maxwell, 61, as a teenage “sex slave” for Epstein.
Giuffre sued Prince Andrew in 2021 for battery and infliction of emotional distress.
They settled in February 2022 for a reported £10million, though he has always denied the allegations against him and claimed he could not recall ever meeting Giuffre.
