US Attorney General Pam Bondi has released the full list of celebrities and public figures whose names appear in the Jeffrey Epstein files.
Fox News reported the release, according to Bondi’s letter to Congress.
Among those named in the list are former US President Donald Trump, Barack Obama and Michelle Obama, Prince Harry, Bill Gates, Woody Allen, Kim Kardashian, Kurt Cobain, Mark Zuckerberg, and Bruce Springsteen. The full list includes over 300 individuals, most of whom are public officials or well-known figures, each appearing at least once in the case materials.
The US Department of Justice clarified that names appear in a "wide range of contexts," from direct correspondence with Epstein or his associate Ghislaine Maxwell to mentions in documents not directly related to criminal activity.
Experts emphasize that inclusion in the documents does not imply participation in crimes, but releasing the list allows the public and investigators to better understand the scale of Epstein’s network and his circle of contacts.
The publication has sparked widespread reaction in the US and globally, particularly in the media and on social networks, due to the presence of political leaders and prominent entertainers.
Previously released emails from Epstein’s archive indicate that the financier attempted over several years to arrange a personal meeting with Russian President Vladimir Putin.
Separately, former UK ambassador to the US Peter Mandelson announced his resignation from the Labour Party, citing a desire not to damage the party’s reputation in light of the new Epstein-related disclosures.
