Jeffrey Epstein kept blackmail videos showing Bill Clinton, Donald Trump and Richard Branson having sex with women he provided to them, according to the latest bombshell allegations in recently unsealed court documents.
Included in the latest collection of papers, released Monday, are emails that Epstein victim Sarah Ransome sent to columnist Maureen Callahan in 2016. At the time, Callahan was working for the New York Post and reporting on Epstein.
Ransome claimed in those emails that Trump had sex with “many girls,” including an unnamed friend of hers who she said also slept with Bill Clinton and Virgin billionaire Richard Branson.
She retracted all of her claims and told Callahan she wanted to “walk away from it,” citing fears for her family.
In 2019, The New Yorker said Ransome admitted to “making up” the tapes.
It is alleged that Epstein filmed each of these sexual encounters – and that the woman involved also received copies of the tapes.
Such footage has never been publicly revealed. The FBI is now under pressure to release hundreds of pieces of evidence that were photographed but never seized during a 2019 raid on Epstein's mansion.

Ransome said she wants to make sure neither Hillary Clinton nor Trump wins the 2016 election. “I will take down Epstein and his cronies myself!” she said, adding that she had also contacted a Russian newspaper
In her October 23, 2016 email, Ransome told journalist Maureen Callahan that she did not want to go public. She cited her fears about what would happen to her family
“She confided in me about her casual 'friendship' with Donald,” Ransome said of the unnamed friend, whose age is not disclosed.
Ransome said she received footage from her friend that showed her having sex with Clinton, Trump and Branson, but said she couldn't share the videos without her friend's consent.
A Virgin spokesperson told today: “In a New Yorker report published in 2019, Ransome admitted she had 'made up' the tapes.”
“We can confirm that Sarah Ransome’s claims are baseless and without merit.”
Trump has not yet responded to the claims in the lawsuit.
In her email to Callahan retracting the claims, Ransome said: “I would like to distance myself from this… I should not have contacted you and I'm sorry for wasting your time.” It's not worth it to come forward and I will never be heard anyway and if I go public only bad things will happen.
“This will only cause pain for my family and I, and they have helped me pick up the pieces before. “I can't ask them to do that again.”

They were part of a filing unsealed today in which Alan Dershowitz, Trump's former lawyer, argued why his name and the names of other prominent figures should remain anonymous.
Other files include previously unpublished photos of scantily clad women on the island.
Virginia Giuffre, who sued Ghislaine Maxwell for defamation claiming she had sex with Prince Andrew, said the names should be made public.
'Mister. Trump definitely seemed to have a thing for her and she told me how he kept talking about how he liked her “perky nipples.” Donald Trump loved to flick her nipples and suck them until they were sore.
“One evening when we were showering together, she showed me her nipples. They looked incredibly painful as they were red and swollen and I remember wincing as I looked at them.
“I also know that she had regular sexual relations with Trump at Jeffery's New York mansion, as I once met Jen for coffee shortly before she was scheduled to meet Trump and Epstein together at his mansion,” the emails said.
None of the women are named and Trump has repeatedly denied any involvement in Epstein's shady lifestyle.
Another batch of documents from the infamous Jeffrey Epstein files have been released.
The court unsealed 17 pieces of evidence on Monday, the latest in the flood of documents released in the last week.
The first evidence filed by Virginia Giuffre's lawyers against Ghislaine Maxwell alleges that Maxwell and everyone who worked for Epstein used a secret server to communicate.

The server – called MindSpring – was used by household staff to communicate about daily tasks and events.
One employee complained about how “ridiculous” it had become, explaining that Epstein had asked the waiter and several employees for “coffee” or “orange juice” when they were all in the same building.
Giuffre's lawyers claimed that Maxwell only provided discovery materials from some of her email accounts. They claimed she had another person who would contain incriminating information. Maxwell denied it.
One newly uploaded piece of evidence is a previously sealed transcript of a hearing on whether Epstein should be forced to testify.
Both Maxwell and Giuffre wanted him to do this – but he refused, repeatedly saying he wouldn't answer questions for fear of prosecution.
All of the documents come from a 2015 defamation lawsuit that Giuffre filed against Maxwell.
At that time, Giuffre went public with her claims against Prince Andrew, Maxwell and Epstein. She said she was sexually sold to the royal family by Maxwell and Epstein, who she said abused countless other girls in similar ways.
Maxwell, Epstein and Prince Andrew denied their allegations.
Giuffre sued Maxwell for publicly calling her a liar. The case was settled in 2017 — two years before Epstein was charged and later died by suicide — and before Maxwell's arrest.
They have now become public after repeated inquiries from the media and some of those involved in the scandal, who asked the court for transparency.
What was expected was a list exposing the 187 Jane and John Does, whose names were previously protected.
The court did not comply with this request and instead published hundreds and hundreds of pages where the names had previously been blacked out.
