Dershowitz exposes former Israeli PM Ehud Barak in Epstein court filings by The Duran
Dershowitz exposes former Israeli PM Ehud Barak in Epstein court filings The Duran Quick Take: Episode 581. The Duran’s Alex Christoforou and Editor-in-Chief Alexander Mercouris discuss the stunning news that former Israeli Prime Minister, Ehud Barak, was named as a sex offender in Epstein court filings submitted by former Epstein lawyer Alan Dershowitz, who is himself caught up in a legal battle with Virginia Roberts Giuffre, one of the first Epstein victims to go public with her story.
Deceased pedophile Jeffrey Epstein directed his best-known accuser to have sex with former Israeli PM Ehud Barak, according to a sealed deposition – one of many papers lawyer Alan Dershowitz is trying to use to clear his own name.
Lawyers for Dershowitz, who was a friend of Epstein as well as a member of his legal defense team, released the claim about Barak in a Tuesday court filing, attempting to cast doubt on allegations made by accuser Virginia Roberts Giuffre, one of the first Epstein victims to go public with her story.

Pointing to the “denials and disclaimers” issued by the powerful men Giuffre said she’d had sex with, they suggested her word had been “thoroughly discredited by her proven lies.” If their hope was to smear Giuffre, however, it didn’t quite go as planned, instead renewing media interest in the suspects named by the former Epstein “sex slave.”
Dershowitz’s legal team obtained the sealed deposition from a 2016 defamation suit Giuffre filed against Epstein’s alleged madam, Ghislaine Maxwell, his lawyer admitted in court on Tuesday. The document names not only Barak, but also Victoria’s Secret CEO Les Wexner, along with several others she had already accused publicly.
Howard Cooper, a lawyer for the embattled Harvard professor, urged a judge to turn over even more sealed documents from the Maxwell suit, insisting they were relevant to Dershowitz’s own defamation case against Giuffre, who has long claimed she was forced to have sex with Dershowitz as well (a claim he fervently denies). However, Giuffre’s lawyers argued against the move, concerned that her adversary’s legal team would take the information out of context and twist it for their purposes.
Lawyers for Maxwell actually agreed with Giuffre, reasoning there was little overlap between the two defamation cases (and presumably not wanting further details of Maxwell’s alleged crimes to emerge). Lawyers for a mysterious “John Doe” also concurred, citing the need to protect the privacy of others whose names have not yet been made public.
Doe entered the Maxwell defamation case last year, filing a friend-of-the-court brief in an effort to keep Giuffre’s depositions private; he claims to be someone who has not yet been named publicly, and wants to stay that way, insisting for good measure that he has not had sex with Giuffre.
Barak dismissed the allegations against him in a statement to Israeli media on Wednesday, claiming his name was “inserted into the article in order to push aside the allegations against Dershowitz” and claiming he did not meet Epstein in 2002.
This is at odds with his previous statement that he was introduced to the disgraced financier that year. Former Israeli spy Ari Ben-Menashe has also claimed Epstein and Barak met even before 2002.
The former Israeli PM was a major beneficiary of Epstein’s largesse, receiving millions of dollars in investments and donations from both the Wexner Foundation – which Epstein, as Wexner’s asset manager, ran – and from Epstein directly, as recently as 2015. The deceased predator was also a big investor in Carbyne911, a surveillance-tech startup Barak founded that same year.
While Barak has been photographed entering and exiting Epstein’s Manhattan residence, in one case with a bevy of attractive young women, and residents of another Epstein building claim he was a “frequent presence” there, the Israeli has insisted his dealings with the wealthy sex offender were entirely businesslike, claiming that even when he visited Epstein’s infamous tropical island – which the media have dubbed “Orgy Island” – he never went to his parties or met any girls – photographic evidence aside.
However, his associations with the notorious asset manager likely cost him a political comeback. Current Israeli PM Benjamin Netanyahu went to great lengths to hype the Barak-Epstein link when the case against the convicted sex offender re-emerged last year, and Barak’s electoral challenge to the longest-serving PM in Israeli history faded away before election day.
Giuffre has accused numerous political figures of being involved in Epstein’s underage sex ring, prominent among them Britain’s Prince Andrew, who landed in hot water earlier this month as US authorities slammed his lack of cooperation in the ongoing investigation. While Giuffre was photographed with the prince, he claimed in a widely-mocked interview he had never met her, insisting he was at a pizza restaurant with his daughters on the night of their alleged sexual encounter.
Other famous names that have been implicated include former US president Bill Clinton (who was documented flying on Epstein’s plane over two dozen times), billionaire investor Glenn Dubin, former New Mexico governor Bill Richardson, and model scout Jean-Luc Brunel.

Yuch! Imagine being forced to have sex with a joo. How degraded these young women were made by their handlers.
I do not find this anti-semitic comment very tasteful, Joe. Bill Clinton and Prince Andrew are not Jews, however they participated in this pedophile ring with its atrocious criminal activities. Please refrain from anti-semitic comments.They are not appreciated.
No, it isn’t anti-semitic. Arabs are Semites, and they are perfectly O.K. A huge difference here.
Jews and Arabs are both Semites.
The Jews who used to live in the area were Semites. The present population of Khazars (Eastern European Jews) are no more semitic that WASPs. Amharic is a semitic language but the people from Ethiopia who sought refuge in Israel were treated very badly and mostly thrown out, although they are real Semites unlike those occupying the country at present.
Alan Dershowitz. Jeffrey Epstein. Ehud Barak.
And what was their common … ahem … nationality?…
Alan Dershowitz is a US citizen, the two others are Israelis. And what is your nationality, “glorious Weimar Republican”?
Kroth…
Kroth is a German citizen, and who is “Hmm”? Most people here hide behind strange avatars. Are you not proud of your name, nationality and heritage? What is wrong with you strange people here?
a joo who happens to be “a German citizen” 😕
Yes, I am ofd Jewish descent and proud of it. I do not have to hide away my name, like D or Hm or Weimar Republic. Those entities hiding behind such avatars are “nothingburgers”. No decent filling at all, except anti-semitic hate.
Thank God, Jews can survive in Germany these days. The Gaskammern are closed. You can visit them as museums in Auschwitz, Bergen-Belsen and other atrocious places, with non-Jewish Germans bowing deeply, murmuring “mea culpa”, “mea culpa”, “mea maxima culpa”.
Prince Andrew has British nationality, Bill Clinton has US nationality. Both are not mentioned in these primitive antisemitic tirades. Hm? Why not? Hm Hm Hmmmmmm!
Hmmm……..Epstein, Weinstein, Maxwell, Wexner, Barak……….What could they possibly all have in common?……….I’ve been racking my brains but I can’t think of anything.
The word of the day: “Hmm, hmm, hmmm”. I find this rather primitive. No eloquence here, not enough brains, not enough common sense. Hmmmmmm!
Has the DURAN comment section turned into a primitive HHHHMMMM page, with anti-semitic monkeys groaning? Alexander Mercouris and Alex Christoforou are very intellectual, eloquent and level-headed editors and journalists. All the groaning monkeys could learn a lot from them, if their IQ was sufficient ….
Methinks you protest too much …
Cant wait for the list .Hope the girls get Justice
