Ghislaine Maxwell refused to say whether she had an affair with Bill Clinton adviser Doug Band – asking her inquisitor: “What do you mean romantic?”
Maxwell, who is currently serving a 20-year sentence for sex trafficking, was questioned under oath about her relationship with pedophile Jeffrey Epstein.
On Wednesday, a 946-page collection of court documents from the 2015 case was unsealed.

They are described in court documents as an “alleged Epstein associate.”
The names were all redacted in a 2015 lawsuit filed by Virginia Giuffre against Ghislaine Maxwell.
The case was settled in 2017, but the names have remained secret until now.
Judge Loretta Preska ultimately agreed to unseal the documents last December, ruling that there was no longer a legal need to keep the names secret.

Ghislaine Maxwell, who was sentenced to 20 years in federal prison in June 2022 for her role in the sex trafficking ring, has “nothing to say” on the record, according to her attorney Arthur Aidala.

Former President Bill Clinton has long been expected to be among the names.
Former President Donald Trump was also expected to attend.
