none was accused of wrongdoing. most of the names were contained in a may 2016 deposition of alleged epstein victim johanna sjoberg, said she was flying to atlantic city with epstein when "jeffrey said, 'great, we'll call up trump.'" there is no evidence in the documents that call ever took place. sjoberg identified copperfield as a friend of epstein's and was asked, "did copperfield ever discuss jeffrey's involvement with young girls with you?" she answered, "he questioned me if i was aware that girls were getting paid to find other girls." "did he tell you any of the specifics of that?" "no." some of the famous names seemed to come out of the blue, like michael jackson, who sjoberg claimed she met at epstein's palm beach home. sjoberg was asked, "did you massage him?" she answered, "i did not." the documents were part of a long-settled lawsuit alleged victim virginia giuffre filed against epstein's former companion, ghislaine maxwell. >> it's really important to the public interest to be able to see those documents that have been held for so long in the
