Virginia Giuffre’s Ghostwriter Claims FBI Knows Epstein List Names

The Epstein list had been a hot topic for his former friend Donald Trump, who promised he would release the names if he were elected to a second term as president.

After taking office in January, his attorney general, Pam Bondi, claimed she had the Epstein file “on my desk.”

Bondi’s Department of Justice made an about-face in July, saying Epstein never maintained a “client list” and that “no further disclosure would be appropriate or justified.”

The DOJ claimed that most of the material had been sealed by a court to protect Epstein’s victims, and even if the sex predator had gone to trial, “only a fraction” of it would have been “publicly broadcast.”

Epstein was found dead in his New York City jail cell in 2019 while awaiting trial on sex trafficking charges.

Trump dubbed the alleged list the “Jeffrey Epstein Hoax” after backlash over the Justice Department memo.

Epstein’s former friend and madam, Ghislaine Maxwell, later told the DOJ: “The president was never inappropriate with anyone. During the time I was with him, he was a gentleman in every way.” She added that the two tycoons were friendly but not “close friends.”
