Jeffrey Epstein Files Released: 305 Celebrities and Politicians Named in Comprehensive Document Dump
Attorney General Pam Bondi has announced the full release of all Jeffrey Epstein files, making millions of emails, photographs, and documents related to the harrowing case against the convicted predator publicly available. In a required update sent to Congress on February 14, the Department of Justice published a sweeping list of 305 high-profile individuals, including numerous celebrities and politicians, who are mentioned in the extensive records.
No Assumption of Guilt in Epstein Case Document Release
It is crucial to emphasize that being named in the Epstein files does not assume any guilt or wrongdoing regarding Epstein's heinous child sex crimes. The names appear in a wide variety of contexts, as noted by Bondi and her deputy, Todd Blanche. The letter accompanying the release explicitly states that no records were withheld or redacted on the basis of embarrassment, reputational harm, or political sensitivity, including for any government official, public figure, or foreign dignitary.
Definitive Long List Includes A-List Celebrities and Prominent Politicians
While many names on the new list have long been associated with Epstein, such as Ghislaine Maxwell and Andrew Mountbatten-Windsor, this marks the first time a definitive, comprehensive long list has been shared by Bondi and the administration. The list encompasses singers, actors, businessmen, and entrepreneurs, both deceased and alive, who were mentioned in the files at least once.
Notable celebrities named include:
- Beyonce
- Cher
- Bruce Springsteen
- Jay Z
- Robert De Niro
- Diana Ross
- Melinda Gates
- Tucker Carlson
- Meghan Markle
Prominent politicians featured in the documents are:
- President Donald Trump
- Vice President JD Vance
- Michelle Obama
- Marco Rubio
- The Clintons
Epstein Files Categorized and Withheld Materials Explained
In her letter on Saturday, Bondi explained that all files relating to the law have been released, categorized into nine different sections. She detailed what has been withheld during the Epstein files release, stating that the only category of records withheld were those where permitted withholdings under Section 2(c) and privileged materials were not segregable from material responsive under Section 2(a).
The privileges applied to the withheld records, as discussed in the Department's prior letters to Congress on December 19, 2025, and January 29, 2026, include deliberative-process privilege, work-product privilege, and attorney-client privilege. This transparency effort aims to provide a complete view of the case while adhering to legal standards and protections.
