Speaking on behalf of Mr. Branson, a Virgin Group spokesperson stated in a report published in the New Yorker that Ransome had admitted to that the story was fabricated.

"When my friend had sexual intercourse with Clinton, Prince Andrew and Richard Branson, sex tapes were in fact filmed on each separate occasion by Jeffrey.
"Thank God she managed to get a hold of some footage of the filmed sex tapes, which clearly identify the faces of Clinton, Prince Andrew and Branson having sexual intercourse with her.
"Frustratingly enough Epstein was not seen in any of the footage but he was clever like that!
The email extracts from Ms. Ransome also saw her take aim at Hillary Clinton, with one saying: "I will make sure that neither that evil b*tch Hillary or that pedophile Trump gets elected.
