She Had All The High-Profile Connections

Epstein's friendships with Donald Trump, Bill Clinton, and Prince Andrew are making headlines now, but it may have been Maxwell herself who helped bring him into this circle. She'd been friends with Trump for years before she and Epstein were photographed partying alongside him and Melania at Mar-A-Lago in 2000. 

In that 2002 New York Magazine profile, friends described Maxwell's parties, saying, "one is just as apt to see Russian ladies of the night as one is to see Prince Andrew." She had also been known to dine with Bill Clinton, ironically enough, at Nello on the Upper East Side (which recently came under fire for considering all single women to be sex workers).
