The lawsuit stems from a 2015 action from former Epstein sex slave Virginia Giuffre against the pedophile’s muse and partner in crime, Ghislaine Maxwell.
The network reports that many of the Clinton references are connected to attempts to get him to testify against Epstein and Maxwell. Epstein “repeatedly invoked his Fifth Amendment rights during a deposition in that lawsuit.”
But ABC reported that the documents will not implicate Clinton in illegal activity.
Clinton may be one of the lucky ones. The files contain the names of more than 170 people with links to Epstein, who died in a Manhattan jail cell while awaiting trial on sex-trafficking charges.

Federal Judge Loretta Preska ordered the files unsealed just before Christmas, no doubt spoiling the holidays for a coterie of Epstein cronies.
The unveiling will be just the latest chapter in the Epstein sex-trafficking saga. Among the names, it’s expected a slew of Epstein flunkies and associates will be exposed.
Among them will be disgraced Prince Andrew, who shelled out $20 million to Giuffre in an out-of-court settlement. She claimed she had underage sex with the rogue royal at the behest of Maxwell. He has denied wrongdoing.
According to ABC, several documents will include testimony from a woman named in the files as “Jane Doe 162.” She testified in the defamation trial that she was with Andrew at a 2001 bash at Epstein’s Big Apple mansion.
At the party, Giuffre, 17 at the time, was allegedly told to have sex with the prince. Andrew has claimed he never met Giuffre despite a smoking gun photo showing the pair together.
As for Clinton, he flew on Epstein’s private jet numerous times. He, too, has denied wrongdoing. Giuffre claimed she met Clinton on Epstein’s private Virgin Islands island, Little St. James.
