Commencement of the 8 year friendship, and in the first year was sexual in nature under 
Maxwell's encouragement. I had not been sexual in nature prior to meeting Maxwell and had 
been married for 14 years, and had been with my husband for 17 years, and had four children 
under 13 years of age. I had not even watched Porn before meeting Maxwell and was very naive. 
The marriage was abusive and very controlling and under this control rendered me housebound 
with no outside influence or friends for the 17 years of the relationship prior to meeting Maxwell. 
The interactions with Maxwell became sexual in nature following the separation of my marriage 
and the commencement of our interaction via personal email addresses. 
The interactions with Maxwell ceased sexual in nature after a year following me commencing a 
relationship with Shaun Steele, now confirmed as an act of Conspired Sexual Targeting, 
Individual involved and connected and became a friendship, interacting everyday for 8 years. 
All contact ceased with Maxwell in 2013 under my decision as he informed me he was married

it was a betrayal to his family.

In December of the same year, allegations by Arkansas state troopers Larry Patterson and Roger 
Perry were first reported by David Brock in The American Spectator. In the affair later known as 
"Troopergate", the officers alleged that they had arranged sexual liaisons for Clinton back when he 
was governor of Arkansas. The story mentioned a woman named Paula, a reference to Paula 
Jones. Brock later apologized to Clinton, saying the article was politically motivated "bad 
journalism", and that "the troopers were greedy and had slimy motives".L141 
That month, Clinton implemented a Department of Defense 
directive known as "Don't Ask, Don't Tell", which allowed gay 
men and women to serve in the armed services provided they 
kept their sexual preferences a secret. The Act forbade the 
military from inquiring about an individual's sexual 
orientation. aa The policy was developed as a compromise 
after Clinton's proposal to allow gays to serve openly in the 
military 
met 
staunch 
opposition 
from 
prominent 
CongressionalaRepublicans and Democrats, including senators 
John McCain (R AZ) and Sam Nunn (D-GA). According to 
David Mumer, Qinton's support for the compromise led to a 
heated dispute with Vice President Al Gore, who felt that "the 
President should lift the ban ... even though [his executive 
order] was sure to be overridden by the Congress" [n61 Some gay-rights advocates criticized 
Clinton for not going far enough and accused him of making his campaign promise to get votes 
and contributions f1  Their position was that Clinton should have integrated the military by 
executive order, noting that President Harry S. Truman used executive order to racially 
desegregate the armed forces. Clinton's defenders argued that an executive order might have 
prompted the Senate to write the exclusion of gays into law, potentially making it harder to 
integrate the military in the future.o1 Later in his presidency, in 1999, Clinton criticized the way 
the policy was implemented, saying he did not think any serious person could say it was not "out of 
whack" VS1-1 The policy remained controversial, and was finally repealed in 2014, removing open 
sexual orientation as a reason for dismissal from the armed forces-fag 
On January 1, 1994, Clinton signed the North American Free Trade Agreement into law.V211' 
Thibughout his first year in office, Clinton consistently supported ratification of the treaty by the 
U.S. Senate. Clinton and most of his allies in the Democratic Leadership Committee strongly 
supported free trade measures; there remained, however, strong disagreement within the party. 
Opposition came chiefly from anti-trade Republicans, protectionist Democrats and supporters of 
Ross Perot. The bill passed the house with 234 votes in favor and 200 votes opposed (132 
Republicans and 102 Democrats in favor; 156 Democrats, 43 Republicans, and one independent 
opposed). The treaty was then ratified by the Senate and signed into law by the president. afi 9

  _the Clinton administration launched the first official White House website, 
whitehouse.gov.t721J The site was followed with three more versions, with the final version being 
launched on July 21, 2000,[13-11 The White House website was part of a wider movement of the 
Clinton administration toward  web-based communication. According to Robert Longley, "Clinton 
and Gore were responsible for pressing almost all federal agencies, the U.S. court system and the 
U.S. military onto the Internet, thus opening up America's government to more of America's 
citizens than ever befole. On July 17, 1996, Clinton issued Executive Order 13°11—Federal 
Information Technology, ordering the heads of all federal agencies to utilize information 
technology fully to make the information of the agency easily accessible to the public."a2z-1

The Omnibus Crime BM, which Clinton signed into law in September 1994,11131 made many 
changes to U.S. crime and law enforcement legislation including the expansion of the death 
penalty to include crimes not resulting in death, such as running a large-scale drug enterprise.

Accounts differ on when Maxwell  first met American financier Jeffrey 
Epstein. According to Epstein's former business partner, Steven 
Hoffenberg, Robert Maxwell introduced his daughter to Epstein in the 
late 198os.(-491 The Times reported that Maxwell met Epstein in the 
early 199os at a New York party following "a difficult break-up with 
Count Gianfranco Cicogna Mozzoni" (1962-2012) of the CIGAHotels.

Maxwell had a romantic relationship with Epstein} for several years in 
the early 199os  and remained closely associated with him for more 
than 25 years until his death in 2o19.N(4§)[0.1 The nature of their 
relationship remains unclear. In a 2009 deposition, several of 
Epstein's housghold employees testified that Epstein referred to her as 
his "main girlfriend" who also hired, fired, and supervised his staff, 
starting around 1992.E?J She has also been referred to as the "Lady of 
the House" by Epstein's staff and as his "aggressive assistant".M In a 
2003 Vanitm Fair profile on Epstein, author Vicky Ward said Epstein referred to Maxwell as "my 
best friend".1541 Ward also observed that Maxwell seemed "to organize much of his life".iml

and Bill Clinton, attorney Alan Dershowitz, and Prince Andrew, Duke of York.
? 
Maxwell is known for her longstanding friendship(6) with Prince Andrew and for having escorted 
him to a "hookers and pimps" social function in New Yor WI She introduced Epstein to Prince 
Andrew, and the three often socialised together. 
In 2000, Maxwell and Epstein attended a 
party thrown by Prince Andrew at the Queen's Sandringham House estate in Norfolk, England, 
reportedly for Maxwell's 39th birthday No In a November 2019 interview with the BBC, Prince 
Andrew confirmed that Maxwell and Epstein had attended an event at his invitation, but he denied 
that it was anything more than a "straightforward shooting weekend" [A23. 
In 1995, Epstein renamed one of his companies the Ghislaine Corporation; based in Palm Beach, 
Florida, the company was dissolved in 1998.121 As a trained helicopter pilot, Maxwell also 
transported Epstein to his private Caribbean island.L61--In 
In ion8, Epstein was convicted of soliciting a minor for prostitution and served 13 months of an 
18-month jail sentence. Following Epstein's release, although Maxwell continued to attend 
prominent social functions, she and Epstein were no longer seen together publicly.[2] 
By late 2015, Maxwell had largely retreated from attending social functions.r9E621

in Brooklyn, New York CiV, began his professional life by 
teaching at the Dalton School in Manhattan, despite lacking a 
college degree. After his dismissal from the school, he entered 
the banking and finance sector, working at Bear Stearns in 
various roles; he eventually started his own firm. Epstein 
developed an elite social circle and procured many women and 
children; he and some of his associates then sexually abused 
them.15A4JUZ1 
In 2005, police in Palm Beach, Florida, began investigating 
Epstein after a parent complained that he had sexually abused 
her 14-year-old daughterA Epstein pleaded guilty and was 
convicted in 2008 by a Florida state court of procuring a child 
for prostitution and of soliciting a prostituteS5D1 He served 
almost 13 months in custody, but with extensive work release. 
He was convicted of only these two crimes as part of a 
controversial plea deal; federal officials had identified 36 girls, 
some as young as 14 years old, whom Epstein had allegedly 
sexually abused.(1[1O) 
Epstein was arrested again on July 6, 2019, on federal charges 
for the sex trafficking of minors in Florida and New 
York.Lalp)J He died in his jail cell on August lo, 2019.bl The 
medical examiner ruled the death a suicidefAl Epstein's 
lawyers have disputed the ruling, and there has been 
significant public skepticism about the true cause of his death, 
resulting in numerous •conspiracy ilieoriesi-nigi Since

charges against him, a judge dismissed all criminal charges on

intriguing although it would not work for me" 12061 
The depth of the friendship between Gates and Epstein is unclear. Gates generally commented 
about his relationship with Epstein that "I met him. I didn't have any business relationship or 
friendship with him".[P7-1 However, Gates visited Epstein "many times, despite [Epstein's] 
past".[20$_ Gates took at least one flight in 2013 in Epstein's infamous Lolita Express aircraft 2°
It was reported that Epstein and Gates "discussed the Gates Foundation and philanthropy'.~°51 
However, in an interview in 2019 Gates completely denied any connection between Epstein and 
the Gates Foundation or his philanthropy generally.12°73 In August 2021, Gates said the reason he 
had meetings with Epstein was because Gates hoped Epstein could provide money for 
philanthropic work, though nothing came of the idea. Gates added, "It was a huge mistake to 
spend time with him, to give him the credibility of being there," 0,51 
It has also been-reported that Epstein and Gates met with Nobel Committee chair Thorb'orn

Gates's public image has changed over the years. At first he was 
perceived as a brilliant but ruthless "robber baron", a "nerd-

the Bill and Melinda Gates Foundation, and particularly after 
he stepped down as head of Microsoft, he turned his attention 
to philanthropy, spending more than $5o billion on causes like

Religion 
In an interview with Rolling Stone, Gates said in regard to his faith: "The moral systems of 
religion, I think, are super important. We've raised our kids in a religious way; they've gone to the 
Catholic church that Melinda goes to and I participate in. I've been very lucky, and therefore I owe 
it to try and reduce the-inequity in the world. And that's kind of a religious belief. I mean, it's at 
least a moral belief."1213) In the same 2014 interview he also said: "I agree with people like Richard 
Dawkins that mankind felt the need for creation myths. Before we really began to understand 
disease and the weather and things hie that, we sought false explanations for them. Now science 
has filled in some of the realm — not all — that religion used to fill. But the mystery and the beauty 
of the world is overwhelmingly amazing, and there's no scientific explanation of how it came

Dawkins that mankind felt the need for creation myths. Before we really began to understand 
disease and the weather and things like that, we sought false explanations for them. Now science
