Donald Trump’s chief legal advisor has sparked outrage by releasing a list of celebrities that have been named in the Epstein files – with no context of why they were mentioned.
Attorney General Pam Bondi compiled a list of 305 names of wealthy and well-known figures who feature in documents relating to the dead paedo, including tragic singer Janis Joplin who died aged 27 in 1970 – when Epstein was just a teenager.
The US Department of Justice, which Bondi oversees, was accused of “muddying the waters” by lumping together the names of alleged predators and those merely “mentioned in an email” – as simply being named in the Epstein Files does not indicate any guilt.
Democrat politician Ro Khanna fumed: “The DOJ is once again purposefully muddying the waters on who was a predator and who was mentioned in an email.
“To have Janis Joplin, who died when Epstein was 17, in the same list as Larry Nassar, who went to prison for the sexual abuse of hundreds of young women and child pornography, with no clarification of how either was mentioned in the files, is absurd.”
He demanded: “Release the full files. Stop protecting predators. Redact only the survivors’ names.”
Political commentator Ed Krassenstein accused the DoJ of a cover-up after two of Joe Biden’s relatives were on Bondi’s Epstein list, but none of the Trump children were.
He said: “Why does the DOJ’s Epstein list include Ashley Biden and Hunter Biden but not Tiffany Trump, Donald Trump Jr., Eric Trump and Barron Trump? All of them are mentioned in the files. The Trump / Pam Bondi cover-up continues.”
Other agued the list is still not comprehensive enough because so many of the millions of emails and documents were redacted.
Other famous names in the document include Cher, Jay Z, Woody Allen, Bono, Robert De Niro, Mick Jagger, Amy Schumer, Bruce Springsteen and Kevin Spacey.
US politicians also feature heavily, such as President Donald Trump and his vice-President JD Vance, Secretary of State Marco Rubio, Barack and Michelle Obama and Bill and Hillary Clinton.
Prince Harry and Sir Keir Starmer also appear as the vast cache of documents includes news stories and emails that make reference to British politics. However, neither have any links to Epstein nor visited his private island Little Saint James.
There are also several people who are now dead on the list, including Elvis Presley, Pope John Paul II and former British prime minister Margaret Thatcher.
In a letter accompanying the list, Bondi adds: “No records were withheld or redacted ‘on the basis of embarrassment, reputational harm, or political sensitivity, including to any government official, public figure, or foreign dignitary.’”
Under the terms of the Epstein Files Transparency Act, the only permissible redactions concern the protection of victims’ identities, details of active investigations and child sexual abuse material.
The Act, which the Department of Justice is following after it was signed into law by Donald Trump last year, calls for the public release of all unclassified records relating to the convicted child sex offender Epstein and his accomplice Ghislaine Maxwell, 64.
Epstein, a wealthy US financier, died in jail in 2019 while awaiting trial for sex trafficking underage girls. Maxwell was arrested by the FBI and charged with enticement of minors and sex trafficking of underage girls, related to her association with Epstein.
She was found guilty of five child sex trafficking charges after a four-week trial and six days of deliberation in New York in 2021. The only count she was found not guilty of was enticing a minor to travel to engage in sex acts.
The Met Police this month launched a criminal investigation into claims that Lord Peter Mandelson, who is pictured in the Epstein Files several times, passed market-sensitive government information to his paedo pal.
The disgraced politician was last week asked to testify to the US Congress over his relationship with Epstein.
