Trump Admin Releases Jeffrey Epstein’s Contact List With Big Names Mentioned

The United States Department of Justice released a trove of long-awaited documents tied to Jeffrey Epstein on Thursday evening (February 27).

The release included contact lists, flight logs from his private jet, the Lolita Express, and other evidence amassed against the convicted sex offender. However, despite widespread anticipation, the roughly 200-page document dump contained no major revelations. Instead, it largely confirmed the names of celebrities and politicians already known to have associated with the notorious figure.

What’s in the Documents?

The documents include a contact list of individuals who associated with Epstein, though it is not a “client list.”

Addresses and phone numbers were redacted to protect privacy.

Among the high-profile names in Epstein’s contact list are Rolling Stones’ Mick Jagger, Michael Jackson, Alec Baldwin, Ethel Kennedy, former New York Governor Andrew Cuomo, supermodel Naomi Campbell, and Courtney Love.

Other notable names include Ivana Trump, Ivanka Trump, Bob Weinstein, businessman David Koch, former Senator Ted Kennedy, actor Ralph Fiennes, and lawyer Alan Dershowitz.

Epstein was known for hosting famous individuals on his private island, Little St. James, in the U.S. Virgin Islands. He frequently flew guests to the island on his private jet, leaving a written record of who traveled there.

Ninety names were unsealed from a lawsuit filed by Virginia Giuffre, an alleged trafficking victim, against British socialite Ghislaine Maxwell, Epstein’s former girlfriend. Maxwell, 61, is currently serving a 20-year prison sentence after being convicted in December 2021 for her role in helping Epstein recruit and sexually abuse underage girls.

Epstein, a financier accused of preying on underage girls as young as 14, died by suicide in August 2019 at the age of 66 while awaiting trial on sex-trafficking charges in a New York jail cell.

Authorities ruled his death a suicide. Epstein had previously been convicted in 2008 by a Florida court on charges of soliciting prostitution, including from a minor.

The flight logs released in January 2024 do not imply wrongdoing by those named. Most individuals are believed to have traveled to Epstein’s island for legitimate business, social, or political reasons.

New York federal judge Loretta Preska found no legal justification for withholding the names and ordered their release.

Among the names listed are former Presidents Bill Clinton and Donald Trump, both of whom have vehemently denied any wrongdoing. Four names were redacted to protect the identities of alleged victims who traveled on Epstein’s private jet.

In addition to the contact list, the DOJ released redacted records of 254 masseuses—victims whose names remain confidential—and flight logs from Epstein’s private jet, the *Lolita Express*. A significant portion of the documents was blacked out to protect victim information, according to the *New York Post*.

More Releases to Come?

The binder, labeled “Phase One,” suggests that additional document releases could follow. It was reportedly provided to 15 conservative influencers before being made public.

Podcaster Liz Wheeler, reviewing the release in a livestream, expressed frustration: “We’re all waiting for bombshells. We’re all waiting for juicy stuff. And that’s not what’s in this binder. That’s not what’s in this binder at all. And that’s exactly how the attorney general presented it to us.”

Push for Transparency

Critics have demanded greater transparency. Rep. Anna Paulina Luna (R-Fla.), head of a House GOP transparency task force, expressed dissatisfaction with the limited scope of the release.

“THIS IS NOT WHAT WE OR THE AMERICAN PEOPLE ASKED FOR and a complete disappointment,” Luna posted on X. “GET US THE INFORMATION WE ASKED FOR!”

“Something about this Epstein release doesn’t feel authentic. Why do we need “phases” of the release and why not just release it to the entire public at large to comb through?” Candace Owen’s posted.

Attorney General Pam Bondi has reportedly given the FBI’s New York field office until Friday to turn over additional materials for public release.

“The first phase of files released today sheds light on Epstein’s extensive network and begins to provide the public with long overdue accountability,” she said.

FBI Director Kash Patel vowed that there would be “no cover-ups, no missing documents, and no stone left unturned,” adding that anyone who tries to undermine this effort “will be swiftly pursued.”

“If records have been hidden, we will uncover them,” he declared. “And we will bring everything we find to the DOJ to be fully assessed and transparently disseminated to the American people, as it should be.”
