List of people named in the Epstein files

The Epstein files comprise over six million pages of documents detailing the activities of American financier and convicted child sex offender Jeffrey Epstein. So far c. 3.5 million files have been made public, among them 180,000 images and 2,000 videos. The U.S. Justice Department claimed having redacted all and only the names of victims and of law enforcement officials, yet it released the names of nearly 100 Epstein victims. Many members of the transnational capitalist class appeared in the files, as well as prominent figures in academia, politics, royalty, entertainment, and other areas. The revelation of some of the names has led to public backlash. As of February 2026, the only individual convicted for activities related to Epstein's crimes is Ghislaine Maxwell, the only individuals having been charged for activities related to Epstein's crimes are Jean-Luc Brunel and Thorbjørn Jagland. No wrongdoing is established by merely appearing in the documents and people featured in the files commonly deny any wrongdoing in relation to Epstein's life and crimes.

There are people in the United States who believe that rules are to constrain other people, laws are to constrain other people, but never apply to them. And and deep down, I think on both sides of the aisle, people have felt that for so many years. And you crystallize it with that phrase. And that leads me to the last job that you did before you were a senator. I want to get this right. You you investigated international corruption. >> That's right. >> Is that true? Okay.
