A member of the powerful Pritzker family is named in newly released court documents related to deceased pedophile Jeffrey Epstein.
Tom Pritzker, chairman of Hyatt Hotels and CEO of the Pritzker Organization, allegedly slept with prominent Epstein accuser Virginia Giuffre, according to a newly released transcript of a deposition from Giuffre in May 2016.
“All right, if I were to ask you the question how many times you had sex with Tom Pritzker, do you know what that question means?”
“I believe so,” Giuffre replied.
“All right, what is the answer to that question?”
“I believe I was with Tom once,” she stated.
The first tranche of the Jeffrey Epstein documents was released Wednesday as part of years-long litigation between Giuffre and Epstein’s partner, Ghislaine Maxwell.
Maxwell is currently serving a 20 year prison sentence for aiding Epstein in his abuse of minors. Her attorney told NewsNation Wednesday she has “nothing to say” about the documents.
Epstein was found dead in his New York City jail cell in August 2019 as he awaited trial for sex trafficking charges. His death did not get recorded by cameras and has been ruled a suicide.
Former President Bill Clinton and disgraced Prince Andrew are among the notable figures named in the documents. The files were released after an appeal from a Jane Doe caused confusion about whether the release might be delayed.
The Pritzker family is worth a combined $32.5 billion, Forbes estimated in 2020, and the family is one of the most powerful in Democratic politics. Thomas Pritzker is a member of the Aspen Strategy Group, a project of the left-leaning Aspen Institute, an organization that has advocated for online censorship to combat “misinformation” and “disinformation” on social media.
