Trump Suggests He’ll Release Jeffrey Epstein ‘Client List’ If Elected

Former President Donald Trump recently hinted that he might unveil the long-sought-after Jeffrey Epstein client list.

Appearing on the Lex Fridman podcast, Trump was questioned about the enigmatic nature of Epstein’s infamous island and the powerful figures who may have been involved.

“It’s just very strange for a lot of people that the list of clients that went to the island has not been made public,” Fridman noted.

“Yeah, it’s very interesting, isn’t it? Probably will be,” Trump responded, suggesting that the list could potentially be released if he returns to the White House following November’s election.

When asked by Fridman if he would release the list if given the authority, Trump promptly replied, “Yeah, I’d certainly take a look at it. I’d have no problem with it.”

Trump’s statements are likely to raise concerns, particularly among Democrats, where the potential consequences of such a disclosure have sparked anxiety. Several prominent individuals have already been implicated in the Epstein scandal, and the revelation of a client list could expose more influential figures.

The conversation also touched on comparisons between the Epstein case and other major historical scandals.

“Kennedy’s interesting because it’s so many years ago. You know, they do that for danger, too, because, you know, it endangers certain people, et cetera, et cetera. So Kennedy is very different from the Epstein thing,” Trump commented.

In 2008, Epstein pleaded guilty to charges related to soliciting a prostitute and procuring a minor for prostitution, resulting in an 18-month prison sentence.

Epstein was arrested again in 2019, facing charges of sexually abusing numerous young girls at his Palm Beach, Florida mansion, and his Upper East Side apartment between 2002 and 2005.

In August 2019, the 66-year-old convicted sex offender was found dead in his Manhattan jail cell, with his death ruled a suicide. He could have faced up to 45 years in prison.

Unsealed court documents from Virginia Giuffre, one of Epstein’s accusers, in her 2015 defamation lawsuit against Ghislaine Maxwell, Epstein’s alleged “madam,” were disclosed in January. The documents linked more than 170 individuals to Epstein, including several high-profile figures.

“Dozens of high-profile names — including royalty, politicians and famous scientists — appeared in an avalanche of previously sealed court documents related to Jeffrey Epstein that were released. The trove of papers filed in Epstein accuser Virginia Giuffre’s 2015 defamation suit against the dead sex offender’s ‘madam’ Ghislaine Maxwell included references to Prince Andrew, former President Bill Clinton and Stephen Hawking, among other major figures,” reported the New York Post.

“The lengthy list of boldface names paints a troubling picture of Epstein’s double life as an ace financier who used his wealth and connections to victimize dozens of young women. The 215 newly unsealed documents, nearly 5,000 pages, were released between Jan. 3 and Jan. 9 — naming more than 170 people with ties to Epstein, including victims and former employees,” the outlet added.
