Jeffrey Epstein and Ghislaine Maxwell attend de Grisogono Sponsors The 2005 Wall Street Concert Series Benefitting Wall Street Rising, with a Performance by Rod Stewart at Cipriani Wall Street on March 15, 2005 in New York City.

In another document, one of Epstein's accusers, Virginia Giuffre, says Maxwell directed her to have sex with former Senate Majority Leader George Mitchell, a Maine Democrat, former New Mexico Gov. Bill Richardson and other prominent people.

The documents include one containing flight records showing that President Donald Trump flew on Epstein's private plane in January 1997, from a Palm Beach, Florida, airport to Newark, New Jersey.

Giuffre, who had worked as a locker-room attendant at Trump's Mar-a-Lago club in Palm Beach, also said that Epstein "told me that Donald Trump is a good friend of his," but that she never saw the two men together. And she said in a deposition that she never had sex with Trump or flirted with him.

The White House had no immediate comment on the mention of Trump's name on the flight logs. Richardson's office denied he ever met Giuffre, and called the allegations "completely false."

Mitchell in a statement said, "The allegation contained in the released documents is false. I have never met, spoken with or had any contact with Ms. Giuffre."

The files released Friday are part of a defamation lawsuit that Giuffre filed against Maxwell several years ago. The suit accused Maxwell of calling Giuffre, a liar for claiming that Maxwell and Epstein sexually abused her when she was underage.

Giuffre had also alleged that she was sexually abused while in Epstein's circle by "numerous prominent American politicians, powerful business executives, foreign presidents, a well-known Prime Minister and other world leaders," as well as noted lawyer Alan Dershowitz, a Harvard Law professor.

Maxwell, a British socialite who is the daughter of late media mogul Robert Maxwell, later settled that defamation case with Giuffre. The terms of that settlement are not known.

But Maxwell had tried to keep filings in the lawsuit in U.S. District Court in Manhattan sealed.

On Friday, the 2nd Circuit Court of Appeals rejected Maxwell's request to have the full circuit review an earlier decision by a three-judge appeals panel that had denied Maxwell's effort to keep the entire case sealed.

The circuit court sent the case back to the district court, where a judge will decide how much of the remaining documents will be unsealed. It also unsealed documents that included pleadings in the defamation case, depositions, and other material.

Included in the material is a September 2016 deposition of Epstein in which he repeatedly invokes his Fifth Amendment right against self-incrimination in refusing to answer questions like whether it was "standard operating procedure for Maxwell to bring underage girls up to your room for you to sexually abuse."

On Friday, Dershowitz's lawyer Imran Ansari said, "Professor Dershowitz has denied the accusations made against him by Virginia Giuffre since day one and has sought to unseal these records for the past three years."

"The unsealed documents seriously call the accusations made against Professor Dershowitz into question, including an email in which reporter Sharon Churcher tells Giuffre that Professor Dershowitz is 'a good name for your [book] pitch' while admitting that there is 'no proof' and suggesting to Giuffre that she 'probably met him,' " Ansari said.

"Professor Dershowitz is pleased that these documents are finally coming to light and is confident that the truth will prevail."

Astronaut and former Sen. John Glenn was listed on one of the flight logs for Epstein's plane, as well. Dershowitz told CNBC that Glenn flew with him, Epstein and former Israeli Prime Minister Shimon Peres to Ohio to attend a birthday party for L Brands founder Leslie Wexner.

Dershowitz added that he flew a "number" of times on Epstein's plane, but "never, never, never, in the presence of any underage or even close to underage person."
