Wasserman responded: “Or something like that.”

“I have no personal or business connections Jeffrey Epstein. As is well documented, I flew on Epstein’s plane in 2002 as part of a delegation with the Clinton Foundation on a humanitarian trip. I deeply regret having anything to do with either of them,” he said.
In 2021, Maxwell was convicted of five counts of sex trafficking and abuse of minors. She is serving 20 years in prison.
The documents were disclosed under a law passed requiring the government to open its files on the late financier and his confidant and one-time girlfriend, Maxwell. Epstein committed suicide in a New York jail cell in August 2019, a month after being indicted on federal sex-trafficking charges.
