Summary

Explore the extraordinary circle of influential men that Jeffrey Epstein and Ghislaine Maxwell called friends and colleagues, thanks to Epstein’s little black book. From British Prime Minister Tony Blair, to Hollywood A-Listers such as Kevin Spacey, the book is a who’s who of the international elite. Also included are President Bill Clinton – who flew on Epstein’s “Lolita Express” private jet no fewer than 26 times – and President Donald Trump, who said of Epstein: “He’s a lot of fun to be with. It is even said that he likes beautiful women as much as I do, and many of them are on the younger side.” How well did these men know Epstein? And how much did they know about his dark side? Do they have dark secrets of their own? In a world-exclusive interview, we talk to a former Palm Beach County Sheriff who claims he has blackmail materials compiled by Epstein.
