'Why were the names sealed?' Jeanine Pirro weighs in on Jeffrey Epstein documents on 'Fox & Friends'
NEW YORK CITY, NEW YORK: Former judge and Fox News host Jeanine Pirro appeared on the January 5 episode of 'Fox & Friends' to discuss her Fox Nation special, 'Jeffrey’s Book of Names', with co-host Brian Kilmeade.
In the wake of the redacted documents of the deceased financier and sex-trafficking accused Jeffrey Epstein being released by court order on January 3, Pirro asked what was the benefit of having the names appearing on them sealed in the first place.
Many renowned personalities across the globe were discovered named in the documents, including Bill Clinton, Michael Jackson, Prince Andrew, and most surprisingly, Stephen Hawking.
Jeanine Pirro slams Bill Clinton for trying to bury the story
"It was 2011 when Bill Clinton goes into Vanity Fair and threatens them and says, we don't want you to write this story," claimed Pirro.
"Here's the important part: it was in 2000 – 2007 that he was convicted in Florida of soliciting a minor for prostitution. So at that point, he was a convicted pedophile, a sex offender. And yet Bill Clinton is still fighting for him," she continued.
Pirro proceeded to further question the involvement of Clinton as well as of the government in the apparent cover-up.
"Here's the interesting thing: these names are names that have been out there in the public for a bit, but now there's a little more window dressing that we have. Bill Clinton going in and saying, don't write this story, Vanity Fair. Why?" she asked.
"It kind of makes you wonder how he got that great deal from the federal government that gave Epstein and his co-defendants immunity in perpetuity. Was Bill Clinton behind that as well, with the Justice Department taking that case away from the local DA and then sending it back after they literally let the statute of limitations run out?"
Clinton's name came up in the documents fifty times, she noted.
Jeanine Pirro was surprised Stephen Hawking was in the list
"Who even thought about that?" Pirro asked incredulously, before continuing, "Epstein tells Maxwell, tell the girls that they would pay him whatever we need to pay them to not talk about Stephen Hawking and the sex or orgy with young girls. So then there's even more window dressing."
She went after David Copperfield next, reminding viewers that "he was accused previously of sexual assault before this. And he says to one of the girls, he said, did you know that you girls are being paid to find other girls?"
Pirro added that the new releases coming up every day beg the questions, "Why were these names sealed? Why didn't we know about it? What was the government's benefit in sealing these names?"
