Epstein files: Full list of names in disgraced financier’s contact book – UK Times

Jeffrey Epstein has garnered international attention for his crimes and alleged connection to powerful people while abusing girls for years.

The disgraced financier died by suicide in a New York prison cell in 2019 while awaiting trial on federal sex-trafficking charges. His case continues to be in the public eye for his alleged ties to the famous – and names that are found in his alleged contact book.

Those names include Donald Trump, Bill Clinton, Michael Jackson and former Prince Andrew.

While those named in the book have not been accused of any wrongdoing, it hasn’t stopped conspiracy theorists and the public from speculating on a connection.

Trump had campaigned on releasing more information about the Epstein investigation. In February, Attorney General Pam Bondi released more than 100 pages of documents related to Jeffrey Epstein – though much of the information was already publicly available. In July, the Justice Department released a memo stating that Epstein died by suicide in his jail cell in 2019, that no further investigation was warranted, and the DOJ found no evidence to support the existence of a “client list,” in which the disgraced financier allegedly kept a ledger of rich, famous and powerful names involved in his trafficking ring.

That set off a wave of MAGA fury that has divided the party.

Later in July, the Wall Street Journal reported that Trump drew a bawdy birthday card — including an illustration of a naked woman — for Epstein’s 50th birthday along with a note that read: “Happy Birthday — and may every day be another wonderful secret.” Trump denied being involved with the card and sued the Journal over it.

In August, the DOJ released a transcript of top officials’ two-day interview with Ghislaine Maxwell from the month earlier, during which she “never” witnessed “in any inappropriate setting in any way” involving the president.

In September, the House Oversight Committee made the birthday card public as well as the entirety of his 2003 birthday book that contains letters from prominent other figures, such as billionaire Leon Black and famed defense attorney Alan Dershowitz, among others. That same month, members of Congress launched a bipartisan effort to force a vote on releasing the records. The effort was stymied by the government shutdown, which began October 1.

In October, Nobody’s Girl — the posthumous memoir of Epstein survivor Virginia Giuffre — provided new revelations about the “client list,” claiming that Epstein videotaped bedrooms and bathrooms in his various homes to give him, what Giuffre called, “power over others.” That month, Trump said he’d “take a look at” a potential pardon for Maxwell.

In November, Democrats on the House Oversight Committee released emails from Jeffrey Epstein’s estate that refer to Donald Trump. One email from Epstein to Maxwell alleges that Trump “spent hours” at Epstein’s house with a victim. Trump did not send or receive any of the emails and has not been accused of any wrongdoing.

Part of the information released by federal officials has included Epstein’s contact book.

Being named in the documents does not indicate wrongdoing related to Epstein or anyone else. The list of names includes alleged victims, accusers and people tangentially connected to Epstein who were pulled into the civil or criminal lawsuits against Maxwell. For example, both former president Clinton and Trump have been named in connection to Epstein because both traveled on Epstein’s private jet at one point in time. But neither has been formally accused of wrongdoing and deny any involvement in Epstein’s crimes.

The names included in the documents previously released have been listed below.
