DOJ Epstein files surface unverified allegation naming Justice Clarence Thomas



A newly released tranche of Justice Department records tied to Jeffrey Epstein includes an unverified allegation that names conservative Supreme Court Justice Clarence Thomas, according to documents disclosed Friday. The claim, sent by email to federal prosecutors in New York and two federal judges, was discussed internally last August but offers no evidence and has not resulted in any charges or investigation involving Thomas. The accuser, who claimed to be an Epstein victim, alleged she was raped by mobster Johnny Martorano and further alleged — without corroboration — that Martorano referenced Thomas and that Thomas sexually assaulted her as a child. Federal prosecutors acknowledged the complaint internally as part of standard protocol, underscoring that the sprawling Epstein file release contains numerous raw, unsubstantiated claims that do not establish wrongdoing.
