Here Is Pedophile Billionaire Jeffrey Epstein’s Little Black Book
– Nick Bryant, (Gawker, 1/23/2015)
Donald Trump, Courtney Love, former Israeli Prime Minister Ehud Barak, and uber-lawyer Alan Dershowitz may
have been identified by a butler as potential “material witnesses” to pedophile billionaire Jeffrey Epstein’s crimes
against young girls, according to a copy of Epstein’s little black book obtained by Gawker. Flight Logs Put Clinton,
Dershowitz on Pedophile Billionaire’s Sex Jet Bill Clinton took repeated trips on the ” Lolita Express”—the private
passenger jet owned …An annotated copy of the address book, which also contains entries for Alec Baldwin, Ralph
Fiennes, Griffin Dunne, New York Post gossip Richard Johnson, Ted Kennedy, David Koch, filmmaker Andrew Jarecki,
and all manner of other people you might expect a billionaire to know, turned up in court proceedings after Epstein’s
former house manager Alfredo Rodriguez tried to sell it in 2009. About 50 of the entries, including those of many of
Epstein’s suspected victims and accomplices as well as Trump, Love, Barak, Dershowitz, and others, were circled
by Rodriguez. (The existence of the book has been previously reported by the Daily Mail. Gawker is publishing it in
full here for the first time; we have redacted addresses, telephone numbers, email addresses, and the last names
of individuals who may have been underage victims.) According to an FBI affidavit, Rodriguez described the address
book and the information contained within it as the “Holy Grail” or “Golden Nugget” to unraveling Epstein’s sprawling
child-sex network. But despite having been subpoenaed for everything he had on his former boss, Rodriguez didn’t
share it with the FBI or Palm Beach Police Department detectives investigating Epstein. Instead, he tried to make
a $50,000 score by covertly peddling the black book to one of the attorneys launching lawsuits at Epstein on behalf
of his victims. The plot backfired when the attorney reported Rodriguez to the FBI, and he was promptly charged
with obstruction of justice.
But not before he had, according to the FBI affidavit laying out the crime, marked up the book and an accompanying
notepad with “handwritten notes” that contained “information material to the underlying investigation that would have
been extremely useful in investigating and prosecuting the case, including the names and contact information of
material witnesses and additional victims.” Rodriguez, who spent 18 months in prison, died in December after
a long illness and never spoke out about the address book, so the precise significance of the names he circled
remains fuzzy. But the FBI’s case against him makes clear that Rodriguez regarded the address book as crucial
to understanding Epstein’s crimes; during a conversation with an undercover FBI agent posing as a potential
buyer, he “discussed in detail the information contained in the book, and identified important information” to the
agent. In addition to the names above, as well as scores of apparent underage victims in Florida, New Mexico,
California, Paris, and the United Kingdom listed under the rubric of “massage,” the circled entries include: Billionaire
Leslie Wexner Former New Mexico Governor Bruce King Former New Mexico Governor and Democratic presidential
hopeful Bill Richardson Peter Soros, the nephew of George Soros Former Miss Sweden and socialite New York
City doctor Eva Andersson Dubin Some of the circled entries include additional notes—one address in New
York City, for instance, is marked as an “apt. for models,” and two names bear the marking “witness.” Asked
why Rodriguez might have circled his name, Alan Dershowitz told Gawker, “I’ve never seen the book and I
have no idea what it means. I was neither a victim nor a material witness—I never witnessed any crimes or
participated in any crimes, and I can prove it.”
Virginia Roberts, one of Epstein’s alleged victims, has claimed in repeated court filings that Epstein instructed
her to have sex with Dershowitz on several occasions, charges that Dershowitz categorically denies. Trump,
through a spokesperson, said, “Mr. Trump only knew Mr. Epstein as Mr. Trump owns the hottest and most
luxurious club in Palm Beach, [redacted], and Mr. Epstein would go there on occasion.” Although Bill Clinton
and Prince Andrew have been mentioned in connection with Epstein’s sordid deeds, their names aren’t
circled in the black book. But Epstein did have 21 contact numbers and various email addresses for
Clinton, as well as several contact numbers for the prince.
