Epstein Files Complete List of Names: Trump, Clinton, Prince Andrew & All Celebrities Revealed

On January 30, 2026, the U.S. Department of Justice released the final and largest tranche of documents related to the jeffrey epstein investigation—over 3 million pages of records, supplemented by more than 2,000 videos and 180,000 images . This massive disclosure, mandated by the bipartisan Epstein Files Transparency Act signed by President Trump in November 2025, represents the most comprehensive look yet into the federal government’s two-decade investigation of the disgraced financier and his network of powerful associates.

But with millions of pages to sift through, what have we actually learned? And more importantly, whose names appear in the Epstein files, and what does their inclusion actually mean?

This comprehensive guide analyzes every major name released in the Epstein documents, explains the context of their appearances, and separates verified facts from conspiracy theories. Whether you’re researching for journalistic purposes, academic study, or personal understanding, this article provides the complete picture of what the Epstein files contain—and what they don’t.

What Are the Epstein Files? Complete Timeline

The Investigation Timeline (1996-2026)

The Epstein files represent the collected documentation from five separate federal and state investigations spanning nearly three decades:

1996: The FBI receives its first complaint about Epstein from survivor Maria Farmer, which was ignored
2005-2008: Palm Beach Police and FBI investigation; Epstein signs controversial non-prosecution agreement
2019: Epstein arrested on federal sex trafficking charges; dies by suicide in August
2020-2021: Investigation into ghislaine maxwell; she is convicted in 2021
2024-2026: Congressional pressure builds for full document release; Epstein Files Transparency Act passed

The Release Schedule

The document release occurred in three major waves:

December 19, 2025: Initial release of approximately 500,000 pages
January 30, 2026: Massive release of 3+ million pages, 2,000 videos, 180,000 images
February 2026: Final congressional report due listing all government officials and politically exposed persons found in files

What the Files Include

According to Deputy Attorney General Todd Blanche, the files contain :

• Investigative materials from the FBI, DOJ, and U.S. Attorney’s Offices
• Grand jury transcripts and exhibits (unsealed by court order)
• Flight logs and travel records
• Financial records from banks including J.P. Morgan and Deutsche Bank
• Emails, text messages, and correspondence
• Photographs and video footage from Epstein’s properties
• Tips and complaints submitted by the public to the FBI

Critical Warning: The DOJ explicitly stated that “this production may include fake or falsely submitted images, documents or videos, as everything that was sent to the FBI by the public was included in the production” . This means not all allegations in the files have been verified.

The January 2026 Release: 3 Million Pages Explained

The January 30, 2026 release was unprecedented in scale. To put it in perspective, Deputy Attorney General Todd Blanche described the review process as examining “two Eiffel Towers of pages” . More than 500 attorneys and reviewers worked through weekends and holidays to process the documents, with 40 specialized attorneys conducting a second review focused on victim privacy protections .

Key Statistics from the Release

• Total pages: 3,000,000+ (compared to 500,000 in previous releases)
• Videos: 2,000+
• Images: 180,000+
• Search results for “donald trump”: 1,800+ hits initially, rising as documents were indexed
• Mentions of Prince Andrew: Several hundred across emails, guest lists, and news clippings

What Was Redacted?

Despite the “full release” mandate, certain materials remain protected:

• Victim-identifying information: Names, personal details, and medical files
• Child sexual abuse material (CSAM): Explicit images and videos (marked “CSAM NOT SCANNED”)
• Attorney-client privileged communications
• Materials depicting violence

The DOJ emphasized that “virtually all of the time and attention of Department personnel… was devoted to maximizing the protection of victim-identifying information” .

U.S. Presidents: Trump, Clinton, and Political Figures

Donald Trump – 1,800+ Mentions

President Trump appears more frequently than any other public figure in the files, though the nature of these references varies dramatically:

Verified Appearances:

• Flight logs: Documents confirm Trump flew on Epstein’s private jet multiple times in the 1990s, contradicting his 2024 statement that “I was never on Epstein’s Plane”
• Mar-a-Lago subpoena: The Justice Department subpoenaed Trump’s Mar-a-Lago club in 2020 before Maxwell’s trial, seeking information about a former employee
• Email correspondence: Epstein and associates shared numerous news articles about Trump and commented on his politics

Unverified Allegations:

• FBI tip list: An August 2025 FBI spreadsheet compiled over a dozen unverified sexual assault allegations against Trump, many from anonymous tips submitted before the 2020 election
• “Jane Doe” complaint: An FBI form details allegations from a woman who accused Trump of raping her at age 13—allegations she previously made in lawsuits that were dropped. The DOJ labeled these claims “unfounded and false”
• Victim presentation: One FBI memo states that Ghislaine Maxwell “presented” a victim to Trump at a party and suggested she was “available,” though the victim stated “nothing happened”

Important Context: No public victim has accused Trump of wrongdoing, and the DOJ explicitly stated that claims against him in the files are “untrue and sensationalist” . Trump has denied all allegations and stated he had a “falling out” with Epstein years before his arrest.

Bill Clinton – Multiple References

The former president appears throughout the files:

• Flight logs: Documented travel on Epstein’s plane
• Email references: A 2015 email from Epstein to Maxwell references a claim that “Clinton likes them young”
• Victim testimony: Johanna Sjoberg testified that Epstein made comments about Clinton’s preferences, though she did not accuse Clinton of wrongdoing

Like Trump, Clinton has not been accused of wrongdoing by any public victim and maintains he cut ties with Epstein years before his arrest .

Steve Bannon – Extensive Correspondence

Perhaps the most surprising political figure in the files, former Trump White House strategist Steve Bannon exchanged hundreds of texts and emails with Epstein in 2018 and 2019 :

• Documentary project: Bannon filmed hours of interviews with Epstein for a planned documentary to “salvage” his reputation, with Epstein saying “yes, great idea” to the project
• Personal favors: In March 2019, Bannon asked Epstein if he could supply his plane to pick him up in Rome
• Gift exchange: Emails indicate Bannon and his son received $1,499 Hermes Apple watches from Epstein in late 2018
• Political discussions: They texted about influencing European coalitions, pressuring China, and the Mueller investigation
• Locker room humor: Epstein made sexual jokes in their exchanges, including one about female genitalia

Bannon has previously called for an independent investigation into the files but has not publicly addressed the depth of his relationship with Epstein.

Howard Lutnick – Current Commerce Secretary

Howard Lutnick, Trump’s Commerce Secretary, appears in schedules showing:

• Drinks with Epstein in 2011
• An invitation to Epstein’s island in December 2012, accepted by Lutnick’s wife who said they would arrive on a yacht with their children

A Commerce Department spokesman stated Lutnick had “limited interactions with Mr. Epstein in the presence of his wife and has never been accused of wrongdoing” .

Kathy Ruemmler – Obama White House Counsel

Kathy Ruemmler, former Obama White House general counsel and current Goldman Sachs chief legal officer, exchanged emails with Epstein including:

• Political advice about Democrats demonizing Trump
• Discussions about philanthropy and fundraising

A Goldman Sachs spokesperson said she had a “professional association” with Epstein and “regrets ever knowing him” .

British Royalty: Prince Andrew and Associates

Prince Andrew (Andrew Mountbatten-Windsor) – 500+ Mentions

The Duke of York appears hundreds of times in emails, guest lists, and news clippings . Key documents include:

Virginia Giuffre Allegations:

• Testimony alleging sexual encounters with Andrew beginning when she was 17
• A now-famous photograph of Andrew with his arm around Giuffre, with Maxwell in the background

Johanna Sjoberg Testimony:

• Sjoberg testified that during a photo shoot at Epstein’s Manhattan townhouse in 2001, Andrew put his hand on her breast while a puppet saying “Prince Andrew” was present
• She stated the incident occurred while she was sitting on Andrew’s lap

Prosecution Attempts:

• Documents reveal prosecutors attempted to secure an interview with Andrew, which he resisted

Andrew settled Giuffre’s lawsuit for an undisclosed sum in 2022 while denying allegations. Giuffre died by suicide in April 2025 at age 41 .

Tech Billionaires: Elon Musk, Bill Gates, and Silicon Valley

Elon Musk – Island Visit Planning

The Tesla, SpaceX, and X billionaire appears in email exchanges that contradict his previous statements:

2012-2013 Emails:

• On November 24, 2012, Epstein emailed Musk: “how many people will you be for the heli to island”
• Musk responded that it would be him and his then-wife, asking: “What day/night will be the wildest party on =our island?”
• Follow-up emails show continued coordination about visiting Little St. James

Contradiction: Musk had previously claimed he “repeatedly rebuffed” Epstein’s overtures . It’s unclear whether the visits actually occurred, and spokespeople for Musk’s companies did not respond to requests for comment.

Bill Gates – Philanthropic Connections

The Microsoft co-founder appears in communications about:

• Philanthropic fundraising efforts
• Meetings coordinated through Epstein’s network
• Donation discussions (Gates has acknowledged meeting with Epstein for fundraising but claims he cut ties upon learning of Epstein’s character)

Hollywood and Entertainment Industry

The files contain numerous photographs and references to celebrities, though appearance does not indicate wrongdoing:

Chris Tucker: Photographed with Ghislaine Maxwell at an airport

Cameron Diaz, George Lucas, Mick Jagger, Woody Allen, Larry Summers: Photographs from Epstein’s properties or events

David Copperfield: Victim Johanna Sjoberg testified she met the magician at Epstein’s house, where he asked if she knew “girls were getting paid to find other girls”

Michael Jackson: Sjoberg testified she saw Jackson at Epstein’s residence but did not give him a massage and nothing untoward occurred

Diana Ross, Phil Collins, Minnie Driver: Listed in Epstein’s contact book

Rolling Stones: Photos from a Rolling Stones concert found in Epstein’s personal collection

Wall Street and Financial Elite

Steve Tisch: New York Giants co-owner who exchanged emails with Epstein about women. In one exchange, Tisch told Epstein he had lunch with one of Epstein’s assistant’s friends and asked if Epstein knew anything about her . Tisch stated he had a “brief association” with Epstein, “never went to his island,” and “deeply regrets” knowing him.

Leslie Groff: Epstein’s assistant who coordinated gifts and schedules

Richard Kahn: Epstein’s longtime accountant who exchanged emails about various matters including Dershowitz’s media presence

Legal and Academic Figures

Alan Dershowitz – Former Epstein Attorney

The Harvard Law professor emeritus appears extensively as Epstein’s former attorney, but new emails reveal Epstein privately disparaged him:

Epstein’s Private Comments:

• In December 2018, Epstein told former Harvard President Lawrence Summers that Trump was “borderline insane,” compared to Dershowitz, who was “a few feet further from the border but not by much”
• Epstein predicted to his accountant that “trump will probably hire dershowitz, no joke”

Allegations Against Dershowitz:

• “Jane Doe #3” in earlier filings claimed Epstein “required” her to have sex with Dershowitz multiple times as a minor
• Dershowitz has denied these allegations, claiming misidentification, and noted that as Epstein’s lawyer, his presence in documents is expected

Lawrence Summers – Former Harvard President

The former Treasury Secretary and Harvard president appears in extensive email correspondence with Epstein from 2013-2019 :

Personal Matters:

• Sought Epstein’s advice on romantic pursuit of a female mentee, lamenting being a “friend without benefits”
• Discussed women, politics, and Harvard-linked projects
• Accepted $110,000 from Epstein for his wife’s poetry project (Poetry in America)

Controversial Comments:

• Reiterated beliefs about women in math and science, telling Epstein: “I observed that half the IQ in world was possessed by women without mentioning they are more than 51 percent of population”
• Criticized #MeToo movement: “hit on a few women 10 years ago and can’t work at a network or think tank”

Summers apologized, calling his association with Epstein a “major error of judgement,” and took leave from Harvard .

What’s Actually in the Documents? Evidence Breakdown

The Draft Indictment That Never Was

One of the most significant revelations is a draft indictment from the mid-2000s that was never brought against Epstein. The document shows:

• Prosecutors planned to charge Epstein alongside three unnamed co-defendants described as being “employed” by Epstein to facilitate appointments between him and girls
• The 60-count indictment alleged a conspiracy to “procure females under the age of 18” to engage “in lewd conduct” for money
• 19 girls were mentioned, ranging in age down to 14
• The document was never signed by a grand jury foreperson, and Alexander Acosta (then U.S. Attorney) signed off on a non-prosecution agreement instead

This suggests that years before Epstein’s 2019 arrest, prosecutors had evidence of a broader conspiracy but declined to pursue charges against anyone beyond Epstein himself.

Little St. James Island Evidence

In December 2025, the House Oversight Committee released never-before-seen images of Epstein’s private island taken by U.S. Virgin Island authorities in 2020 :

Disturbing Features Documented:

• A room with a dentist’s chair surrounded by 10 yellow masks depicting male faces
• A whiteboard with words including “power,” “deception,” “truth,” and “music” written on it
• A shower with a long bench and numerous towels and pillows
• A telephone with various speed-dial numbers
• Bedrooms, bathrooms, and swimming pool areas
• A phrenology head (white bust used for race science) on a desk

No People: The released images contain no people, as they were taken after Epstein’s death.

The Inner Circle Diagram

The DOJ released an organization chart of Epstein’s inner circle showing connections between :

• Ghislaine Maxwell
• Jean-Luc Brunel (deceased model scout)
• Leslie Groff (assistant)
• Henry Bellar (accountant)
• Five redacted individuals including Maxwell’s assistant and a “girlfriend/employee”

The 1996 FBI Failure: How Epstein Escaped Justice for 23 Years

Perhaps the most damning revelation in the entire file release concerns the FBI’s earliest knowledge of Epstein’s crimes.

Maria Farmer’s Complaint

On August 29, 1996, artist Maria Farmer reported her sexual assault by Jeffrey Epstein and Ghislaine Maxwell to the New York Police Department. She was advised to contact the FBI, which she did on September 3, 1996 .

What Happened:

• The FBI classified the case as “child pornography” because naked or semi-naked hard copy pictures existed
• No investigation was conducted
• Epstein continued operating his sex trafficking ring for another 23 years
• Approximately 1,200 additional victims were allegedly abused during this period

Calls for Accountability

The Fulcrum has called for questioning of six FBI directors who served between 1996 and 2025: Louis Freeh, Robert Mueller, James Comey, Andrew McCabe, Christopher Wray, and Kash Patel . Additionally, 10 Attorneys General should testify about their knowledge of the case .

Questions for Officials:

• When did you first learn of the 1996 complaint?
• What, if anything, did you do when you became aware?
• Was the complaint ever flagged or re-opened during later investigations?
• What changes were implemented to ensure tips involving child exploitation were properly handled?

Maria Farmer stated after the release: “I want everyone to know that I am shedding tears of joy for myself but also tears of sorrow for all the other victims that the FBI failed” .

Frequently Asked Questions About Epstein Files

Is there an Epstein “client list”?

No. Despite years of conspiracy theories, the Justice Department has consistently stated that investigators found no “incriminating client list” and no credible evidence that Epstein blackmailed prominent individuals . The newly released documents do not contain such a list.

Does being named in the files mean someone committed a crime?

Absolutely not. The documents include everyone from presidents to plumbers. Being mentioned can mean:

• Being photographed at an event
• Flying on Epstein’s plane (which many did for legitimate travel)
• Being the subject of a news article shared by Epstein
• Being mentioned in an unverified tip
• Having legitimate business dealings (many had no knowledge of Epstein’s crimes)

Why are some names redacted?

Names are redacted to protect:

• Victims and their families (required by law)
• Minors mentioned in the documents
• Privacy of individuals not charged with crimes
• Ongoing investigations (if any)

Did Trump try to stop the release?

Yes. Trump initially resisted releasing the files and personally lobbied GOP members to oppose the legislation. However, he was “outmaneuvered by a bipartisan groundswell” and eventually signed the Epstein Files Transparency Act into law in November 2025 .

Are the files available to the public?

Yes. The documents are posted on the Justice Department’s website, though navigating them requires patience due to the sheer volume. An age verification page precedes access due to explicit content .

What’s next?

Within 15 days of the January 30 release, the DOJ must submit to Congress a formal report including:

• A list of all “government officials and politically exposed persons” found in the files
• A summary of all redactions made

Conclusion: Transparency vs. Accountability

The release of the Epstein files represents a watershed moment in government transparency. For the first time, the public can examine the raw materials of a two-decade federal investigation into one of the most notorious sex trafficking operations in history. The documents validate the experiences of survivors, expose the catastrophic failures of early FBI investigations, and reveal the disturbing breadth of Epstein’s connections to global elites.

However, the files also demonstrate the limits of transparency. Millions of pages do not automatically cohere into clear narratives of guilt and innocence. They show a wealthy predator who cultivated relationships with the powerful, but they do not—despite years of speculation—reveal a secret cabal of criminal elites operating with impunity.

What they do reveal is perhaps more disturbing: a system where a man could abuse underage girls for decades, where early warnings to law enforcement went ignored, where a sweetheart deal in 2008 allowed Epstein to avoid serious consequences, and where the full truth may never be known because the primary perpetrator is dead.

The names in the Epstein files range from presidents to pilots, from princesses to plumbers. Some may have been complicit in crimes. Many were simply caught in the orbit of a manipulative predator who used wealth and connections to shield himself from accountability. Distinguishing between these categories requires careful, contextual reading—not just of the names, but of the circumstances in which they appear.

As more documents are analyzed in the coming months, the story will continue to evolve. But one fact remains clear: the Epstein case is not just a story about one man’s crimes, but about the systems of power, wealth, and influence that enabled him—and that continue to resist full transparency even now.
