During cross-examination by Virginia Giuffre's lawyer, Sigrid McCauley, Sjöberg was asked if he knew whether Clinton was a friend of Epstein's.
“I knew he had business with Bill Clinton,” she said. “I didn't know they were friends until I read an article in Vanity Fair about them going to Africa together.”

“He said at one point that Clinton liked young people, referring to girls,” Shoberg said.
The former president has not been charged with any wrongdoing related to Epstein.

The case was settled in 2017, but a judge ruled in hearings in 2021 and 2022 that the names would not be sealed indefinitely.
