The two former presidents were among dozens named in papers released Wednesday night. Neither has been accused of misconduct in the Epstein case.

Former Presidents Bill Clinton and Donald Trump are mentioned in newly unsealed Jeffrey Epstein-related court documents, but they are not accused of any wrongdoing involving the disgraced sex trafficking financier.

Clinton, who sometimes flew aboard Epstein’s private plane, is listed repeatedly in the documents because he was the topic of an argument over the credibility of a witness who said she saw the former president when he was a guest of Epstein.

Trump’s name appears in a document in which Epstein is quoted as saying he would invite the then-real estate mogul to join him at a casino. In another document, a witness said she was never asked to engage in sexual relations with Trump.

    One of Giuffre’s attorneys, Sigrid McCawley, said more needs to be known about “who enabled and facilitated” Epstein’s trafficking network, and that survivors of his abuse deserve more justice.

    “The public interest must still be served in learning more about the scale and scope of Epstein’s racket to further the important goal of shutting down sex trafficking wherever it exists and holding more to account,” McCawley said. "The unsealing of these documents gets us closer to that goal.”

    I mean so what is the next step here then? How does this facilitate any more information or justice happening in the future regarding this situation?
