THE arrest of Ghislaine Maxwell has sent shockwaves through Jeffrey Epstein's elite inner circle.

It's been reported the Brit socialite will be "naming names" after being hauled before a judge on shocking child sex abuse charges.

Maxwell will be "fully cooperating" with the FBI in their investigation into the secret world of the shamed financial tycoon, say reports.

And that could spell bad news for those who have spent years trying to distance themselves from shamed Epstein - including Bill Clinton and Donald Trump.

The co- author of 'A Convenient Death: The Mysterious Demise of Jeffrey Epstein' said some would be terrified in the wake of Maxwell's arrest

"I think that a lot of the friends of Jeffrey Epstein who were very relieved after he died are probably pretty terrified at this moment," said Alana Goodman.

"Epstein is dead ... she (Maxwell) doesn't really have to worry about protecting him or anything else at this point."
