Report: Bill Clinton Pressured Vanity Fair Not to Write About Jeffrey Epstein

HeadlineJan 05, 2024

Newly unsealed documents related to the deceased convicted sex trafficker and financier Jeffrey Epstein include a reference to reports that former President Bill Clinton once threatened Vanity Fair magazine against reporting on Epstein. One new document contains an email sent by Virginia Giuffre, who had accused Epstein of trafficking her to Prince Andrew when she was 17 years old. In the email, Giuffre writes about why she was worried about speaking to Vanity Fair. She wrote, “it does concern me what they could want to write about me considering that B. Clinton walked into VF and threatened them not to write sex-trafficking articles about his good friend J.E.” Former Vanity Fair editor Graydon Carter has denied the incident ever took place.
