“He [Epstein] knew everybody who was very powerful. So, like if you were on the scene and you were powerful, like to be honest… Like, if you’re not in those files, it would be an insult because it just means that you were a bit of a loser.”
Host Tom Swarbrick questioned the statement: “Right, so the people who aren’t in the files are losers?”
Victoria laughed and answered: “Yes!”
Other prominent names appearing in the documents
The document release also included photographs of several high-profile figures, though their appearance in the files does not imply any wrongdoing.
Bill Clinton
Images of the former US president were included in the release. One shows him sitting in a hot tub with an unidentified woman, while another shows him swimming in a pool with Ghislaine Maxwell. No additional context for the photographs was provided.
Clinton has consistently denied knowing about Epstein’s crimes and has not been accused of any misconduct.
After the photos became public, a spokesperson for Clinton said they were “20-plus-year-old” images and emphasized that he ended his friendship with Epstein long before the financier’s crimes became known.
During a deposition before the House Oversight Committee, Clinton was asked about the hot tub photograph. He said he did not know when it had been taken or who the woman in the image was.
In his opening statement, he maintained that he had no knowledge of Epstein’s activities, stating: “I had no idea of the crimes Epstein was committing,” and adding, “No matter how many photos you show me, I have to things that at the end of the day matter more than your interpretation of those 20-year-old photos.”
Bill Gates
Several photos of the Microsoft co-founder also appeared in the documents. One image showed him with Epstein’s pilot, Lawrence Visoski, while another pictured him with an unidentified woman. Both photographs were undated.
Gates has not been accused of wrongdoing and has said he witnessed nothing improper during his interactions with Epstein.
The files also included a 2013 email written by Epstein that alleged Gates had affairs with Russian women and had contracted an STD as a result. Gates rejected the claims, calling them “false.”
However, on 25 February he acknowledged having had affairs and apologized “to other people who are drawn into this because of the mistake that I made,” while stressing that none involved Epstein’s victims.
