LOS ANGELES, CALIFORNIA: Paris Hilton has responded to a claim that Ghislaine Maxwell tried to recruit her for Jeffrey Epstein, an alleged attempt that took place about one year after Hilton graduated from high school.

Composer Christopher Mason, who was commissioned by Maxwell, said in the 2020 docuseries “Surviving Jeffrey Epstein” that a friend told him Maxwell had an interest in recruiting the hotel heiress.

It is worth noting that photographs show Hilton, then just 19 and a graduate of the Convent of the Sacred Heart in Manhattan, chatting with both Maxwell and now-President Donald Trump at the Anand Jon Fashion Show on September 18, 2000.

While Hilton did not directly deny Maxwell’s alleged intentions, she dismissed the encounter as extremely forgettable, telling the Times of London, “I don’t even remember ever meeting her.” She added, “I'm such a good clickbait name.”

Mason said in the docuseries that on one trip to the New York City fashion show, Maxwell was "scouring" the city for "younger girls to go on dates with Jeffrey," adding, "At the time, it seemed a bit naughty."

Mason recounted that when Maxwell spotted Hilton at “a party,” possibly the fashion show or a related event, her immediate reaction was that the 19-year-old would “be perfect for Jeffrey,” prompting her to ask his friend for an introduction.

Epstein’s legal downfall and death at MCC Manhattan

Jeffrey Epstein’s legal history includes a 2008 plea deal in which he pleaded guilty to two prostitution charges in Florida, resulting in a 13-month jail sentence and a year of house arrest. Most allegations stemmed from assaults in the “massage room” of his Palm Beach home.

He was arrested again in Manhattan in July 2019 on charges of trafficking dozens of minors between 2002 and 2005 in New York and Florida. After being denied bail, he died by suicide in his jail cell at MCC Manhattan the following month.

Trump urges GOP to release Epstein files, calls it a ‘hoax’

The House Oversight Committee has released more than 20,000 pages of documents from Jeffrey Epstein's estate, including emails suggesting President Donald Trump had a more detailed awareness of Epstein's alleged perversions than previously acknowledged.



Trump weighed in on the situation Sunday night on Truth Social, saying House Republicans "should vote to release the Epstein files" since the party has "nothing to hide." He concluded, "It's time to move on from this Democrat Hoax perpetrated by Radical Left Lunatics in order to deflect from the Great Success of the Republican Party."
