Judge Orders Release of Epstein Flight Logs in Ghislaine Maxwell Lawsuit
Breitbart ^ | 7/23/2020 | Joshua Caplan

A federal judge in Manhattan on Thursday approved the unsealing of documents from a civil lawsuit against Ghislaine Maxwell — the alleged madam of deceased pedophile Jeffrey Epstein — as the British socialite faces charges for enticing minors to engage in illegal sexual activities.

Reuters reports:

Over Maxwell’s objections, U.S. District Judge Loretta Preska in Manhattan said the presumption the public has a right to access large portions of the more than 80 documents at issue outweighed Maxwell’s arguments for keeping them under wraps, including that they could prove embarrassing. […]

Preska also said personal identifying information contained in the documents, as well as the names of many “non-parties,” will be redacted. […]

They include flight logs from Epstein’s private jets, deposition testimony in 2016 in which Maxwell’s lawyers said she was asked “intrusive” questions about her sex life, and police reports from Palm Beach, Florida, where Epstein had a home.

The records are a part of a lawsuit brought by Epstein accuser Virginia Giuffre against Maxwell that was settled in 2017.

One of Epstein’s most famous guests aboard his private jet is former President Bill Clinton, as Breitbart News previously noted:

Fox News reported in May 2016 that Clinton went on at least 26 trips aboard Epstein’s plane — the “Lolita Express” — between 2001 and 2003, according to flight logs from the Federal Aviation Administration. Listed as the destination for those trips were exotic locales like the Azores, Singapore, Brunei, Norway, and Russia, among others.

On at least five of those excursions, the flight logs denote that Clinton was not accompanied by any Secret Service personnel. The former president, though, did occasionally travel in the company of Maxwell and Sarah Kellen, Epstein’s former assistant.

Thursday’s ruling comes as federal authorities continue to hold Maxwell without bail since her

This is worthless.

I thought the case against her only included crimes committed in the mid 1990’s. Bubba trip were in the early 2000’s

He was just going there for a cup of coffee.

The only interesting thing is whose names are released and whose names are “redacted.”

If the logs have not been made public, how do they know Clinton made 26 trips?

Trump admitted to taking a flight on Epstein's plane, NY to FL I believe.

He did not fly on any trip to LSJ however.

These are just flight logs. Why have any redactions?

It all depends on what the meaning of “non-parties” is and how you define “redactions”. It seems there are always excuses for selectively releasing information contained in documents. Just saying.

Clinton once again will be revealed as a dirty dog. Wonder how Biden was involved?

It always is. I thought, "wow", which quickly turned to a loud thud.

“No, non-parties names will be redacted.”

For NOW! “non-parties” could be witnesses in other resulting cases.

"This is worthless."

Not if the redaction is done with care.

Bill Clinton
