Newly unsealed Jeffrey Epstein documents have described bombshell allegations about sex tapes involving Bill Clinton, Prince Andrew and Richard Branson. In emails sent by Epstein victim Sarah Ransome " sections of which were included as exhibits in one of the filings unsealed on Monday " she said that an unnamed friend "had sexual intercourse with Clinton, Prince Andrew and Richard Branson" and that these encounters had been filmed by Epstein and that she herself had later seen the sex tapes. In the messages, Ms Ransome said that her friend later came forward to report what happened "with Epstein, Clinton, Branson and Prince Andrew" to the police in 2008 but said that "nothing was done" and "she was made to feel like a dirty whore and a liar". A couple of months later, her friend was allegedly "approached by Special Agents Forces Men sent directly by Hilary [sic] Clinton herself, in order to protect her presidential campaign in 2008", Ms Ransome claimed. Ms Ransome went on to allege that the friend was given a "substantial" payout directly from the Clinton Foundation "to keep her quiet". She alleged that if her friend was to break the agreement to stay quiet, "she is dead". The woman also allegedly tried to sue Epstein for damages but was "severely bullied and threatened" by his attorney, Mr Dershowitz " a man who she claimed "she also had sexual relations with and who was also heavily involved in Epstein's paedophile ring".

Each news summary is created according to strict standards. Here's how we do it.
Each summary is created using a consistent editorial procedure. The target length is approximately 16 lines of 11-point Arial text in a 650-pixel-wide column. Up to 25% of a summary may be set in bold to emphasize the most important ideas. Summaries are composed of verbatim excerpts presented in the same sequence as they appear in the original news source, with very minor editorial additions. Where material has been omitted between excerpts, the omission is indicated with ellipses (...). Any words added by an editor for clarity or context appear in [brackets]. Our original news editor was Fred Burks. Tod Fletcher edited most summaries from 2007 through 2014, and Mark Bailey has served as news editor since 2014.
