Jeffrey
Epstein, the billionaire child abuser friend of Prince Andrew ,
cultivated an extraordinary range of contacts - from President Bill
Clinton to Mick Jagger - it is revealed today.
Court
documents obtained by MailOnline disclose how Epstein kept multiple
phone numbers, email and home addresses for the great and the good on
both sides of the Atlantic.
The
document was presented as an exhibit as lawyers sought a court's
permission to take evidence from Bill Clinton and his staff, for whom
Epstein had 21 numbers, all under the name of his former advisor Doug
Band.
Epstein
also had multiple contact details for a string of celebrities,
including the Rolling Stones frontman Sir Mick Jagger; Donald Trump's
ex-wife Ivana and their daughter Ivanka; and a series of women recorded
under 'massage' in the document, nicknamed 'The Holy Grail' by a former
employee.
The
contents of the document are disclosed by MailOnline as Prince Andrew,
the Queen's second son, fights back against allegations that he had sex
with Virginia Roberts - who claims she was kept by Epstein as a 'sex
slave' - when she was a 17-year-old minor.
High powered: Convicted pedophile
Jeffrey Epstein had 21 numbers for President Bill Clinton and his staff
in his book - all under the name of his former adviser Doug Band
Friends in high places: The page from
the records which shows the extent of his records for Bill Clinton.
DailyMail.com is obscuring the actual details
There is no suggestion the presence of the names means that they are accused of any form of wrongdoing.
The document's existence was disclosed in a series of papers marked Epstein v Edwards at the Federal Court for Southern Florida.
The case was first filed in 2010 and in April 2011 supplementary documents disclosed the existence of 'The Journal'.
The
list of names and addresses points to the vast reach of Epstein's
social circle and takes on new light in the wake of the accusation
leveled at Prince Andrew.
It
includes a series of politicians in the USA, the UK, and Israel. There
are numbers for Bill Clinton's office in New York, a Washington number,
and a number marked 'do not use',
There
are also home and car phone numbers for senior members of Clinton's
staff, including Doug Band, his former White House 'body man' who was
incorrectly named as Bands , and a number marked as 'do not use'
Former
Israeli prime minister Ehud Olmert has three separate telephone
numbers. He is now serving a prison sentence for corruption.
Ex-British
Prime Minister Tony Blair is recorded once, while his former cabinet
minister Lord Peter Mandelson has ten numbers recorded, including one
marked 'direct line' one marked 'home' and one marked 'country home'.
George Mitchell, the former American senator who was a key figure in the Northern Ireland peace process is also listed.
In
total there are 97 pages of records, five of which appear to be notes
made by lawyers or investigators before the records were entered into
court records.
The
list was cited as an exhibit - and therefore entered into court records
- as lawyers for women who alleged they were abused by Epstein brought
a damages claim against him.
They wanted to convince a judge to have Mr Clinton deposed. Their attempt did not succeed.
In
the case, the lawyers wrote: 'Epstein's personal phone directory from
his computer contains e-mail addresses for Clinton along with 21 phone
numbers for him, including those for his assistant (Doug Band), his
schedulers, and what appear to be Clinton's personal numbers. This
information certainly leads one to believe that Clinton might well be a
source of relevant information and efforts to obtain discovery from him
were reasonably calculated to lead to admissible evidence. See exhibits
"B", "F", "AA", "DD".'

one marked Sand. which appears to be Sandringham, the other royal
retreat where he spent time.

also recorded 18 numbers for Sarah Ferguson, Prince Andrew's ex-wife
who today stood by him and said he was 'a great man, the best in the
world'.

when it was revealed his ex-wife was once given $22,880 (£15,000) from

deal was struck in December 2010 after months of negotiations with the
disgraced tycoon who insisted on helping with her financial troubles.

came within days of the Duke of York flying out to visit Epstein in New
York, fueling speculation he had smoothed the path for Sarah to take
the money just 18 months after Epstein was released from jail for
soliciting prostitution from under-age girls.
The
Duchess of York later claimed her judgment had been 'clouded' by her
desperation to get out of her £5million debt and vowed to repay the
money.
