Epstein, Not Clinton, Visited Vanity Fair Office to Suppress Truth
Former Vanity Fair editor-in-chief Graydon Carter and reporter Vicky Ward deny claims that Bill Clinton tried to censor the magazine, asserting it was Jeffrey Epstein who attempted to suppress the truth about his sexual crimes.
- Jeffrey Epstein visited Vanity Fair's office in 2002 in an attempt to suppress the truth about his sexual crimes, according to a report by the New York Post.
- Epstein's visit came after reporter Vicky Ward had spoken to two of his victims, Annie and Maria Farmer, whose accounts were not published in the magazine's profile of Epstein in March 2003.
- Recent court documents suggest that former president Bill Clinton tried to censor Vanity Fair, but both Ward and former Vanity Fair editor-in-chief Graydon Carter deny these claims.
- Virginia Giuffre, Epstein's most high-profile victim, claimed in an email that Clinton had tried to suppress the magazine, but Carter and Ward believe this was a misunderstanding and that it was Epstein who visited the office.
- Despite Epstein's attempts to suppress the truth, Vanity Fair did not publish any further reports on Epstein after 2007, the year he was first federally investigated for preying on underage girls.
