All the A-listers named in the newly unsealed Jeffrey Epstein documents
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 late Wednesday and Thursday and Friday.
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.
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.
Many case records had previously come out but had been heavily redacted.
Before the document dump, online sleuths speculated about who might be named. Late-night host Jimmy Kimmel, for instance, did not appear in the documents, but was forced to defend himself from trolls in the hours before the formal release began.
Here are all the A-listers who appeared in the newly revealed documents:
Prince Andrew
In addition to Giuffre’s allegations she was forced to have sex with Prince Andrew while underage, the documents reveal additional claims about the disgraced British royal – including that he allegedly participated in an “underage orgy.”
One woman, identified as “Jane Doe 3,” testified she was “forced to have sexual relations with this Prince when she was a minor in three separate geographical locations,” according to a 2014 court filing.
Those included Ghislaine Maxwell’s London apartment, an unspecified location in New York and “on Epstein’s private island in the US Virgin Islands (in an orgy with numerous other underaged girls).”
Follow along with everything we’ve found out about Jeffrey Epstein and his associates.
The filing also claims Epstein told the “sex-slave” to “give the Prince whatever he demanded.”
Another Epstein accuser, Johanna Sjoberg, said in her own deposition that Prince Andrew touched her breast while they were posing for a photo on a couch at Epstein’s Manhattan townhouse in 2001.
In that same photo, Sjoberg testified the royal also groped Giuffre’s breast with a puppet that looked like him.
Epstein’s former butler, Juan Alessi, claimed Andrew received “daily” massages when he “spent weeks” at his boss’ Palm Beach, Florida, mansion, according to the documents.
In the wake of the documents’ revelations, the anti-monarchy group Republic reported Prince Andrew to London’s Metropolitan Police and demanded a renewed investigation.
“It’s simple — the royals should not be above the law. Accusations of criminality should always be investigated thoroughly. THAT’S WHY THE MET MUST ACT,” the group posted on X. The Met has not commented on the request.
Both Prince Andrew and Buckingham Palace have repeatedly denied all allegations against him.
Bill & Hillary Clinton
Former President Bill Clinton’s name appears 73 times in the newly released papers, the Independent noted — but he is not implicated in anything illegal.
As part of her 2016 testimony, Sjoberg recalled Epstein telling her that Clinton “‘likes them young,’ referring to girls.”
Clinton — who flew on Epstein’s private jet multiple times — has denied having any knowledge of the creep’s crimes.
In documents that were unsealed Thursday night, it was revealed that the former president allegedly stormed into the Vanity Fair newsroom and “threatened” staffers to not publish stories about sex-trafficking allegations against “his good friend” Jeffrey Epstein.
The claim was mentioned by Epstein accuser Virginia Giuffre in a 2011 email exchange with a journalist from the Daily Mail, Sharon Churcher.
Several references to Clinton in the document trove relate to Giuffre’s allegation Maxwell told her that she had flown the former president to Epstein’s private island on a helicopter.
Giuffre relayed the story to Churcher, who then erroneously reported that Giuffre was also on board the alleged flight, she explained in a May 2016 deposition that was unsealed on Friday.
“I believe that it was taken out of context. Ghislaine told me that she flew Bill Clinton in. And Ghislaine likes to talk a lot of stuff that sounds fantastical,” Giuffre said of Churcher’s version of events.
In her own deposition, Maxwell dismissed the story as “another one of Virginia’s lies” — though she admitted that she had flown with Clinton on Epstein’s plane.
Later in the deposition, Maxwell is shown a flight log for Epstein’s plane that includes Clinton.
In June 2016, Judge Robert Sweet of the Southern District of New York denied Giuffre’s attorneys’ attempt to depose Clinton in her suit against Maxwell, writing that they had not established the “relevance” of the former president’s testimony, a court ruling released on Friday revealed.
Clinton’s name and initials of both himself and his wife, Hillary Rodham Clinton, were included on the proposed list of search terms Maxwell’s team was asked to scan her emails and other files for, attorney correspondence indicated.
The last name “Clinton” appeared on the list, as did “BC,” “HC,” and “HRC.”
Giuffre’s legal team also requested any potential communications between or related to Maxwell and Bill and HIllary as part of discovery, the Friday document trove showed.
Donald Trump
Former President Donald Trump appeared at least four times in the unsealed documents.
In Sjoberg’s deposition, she described how Epstein once “called up” the real estate mogul and suggested visiting one of his casinos when Epstein’s private jet was diverted from New York City to Atlantic City, New Jersey.
“Jeffrey said, ‘Great, we’ll call up Trump and we’ll go to’ — I don’t recall the name of the casino, but — ‘we’ll go to the casino,’” Sjoberg testified.
Sjoberg later added that she never massaged Trump.
In her own deposition, Giuffre said she was lured into working as a masseuse for Epstein when she was 17 and working as a spa attendant at Trump’s Mar-a-Lago resort in Palm Beach, Florida.
What we know about the Jeffrey Epstein list of 170 associates
- On Wednesday, documents were released naming 170 associates of accused sex trafficker Jeffrey Epstein. The list included Michael Jackson, magician David Copperfield, Stephen Hawking, former Israeli Prime Minister Ehud Barak and former President Bill Clinton — who an Epstein victim said “likes them young, referring to girls.”
- Disgraced royal Prince Andrew, a known friend of Epstein, was named in the documents and was previously sued by Epstein accuser Virginia Giuffre, who accused Andrew of sexual misconduct toward her. According to one royal family expert, the Firm “will stand beside” the Duke of York “no matter what.”
- Epstein’s former attorney and friend Alan Dershowitz defended the late multimillionaire sex offender’s associates, saying: “None of us knew about his private life that he kept so secret.” Dershowitz, who is on the list, added that no one should be automatically convicted in the court of public opinion simply for showing up in court documents.
- Epstein’s brother, Mark Epstein, told The Post that the ex-business mogul said he could have upended the 2016 election over what he knew about both Donald Trump and Hillary Clinton: “Here’s a direct quote: ‘If I said what I know about both candidates, they’d have to cancel the election.’ That’s what Jeffrey told me in 2016.”
- Only some of the 170 names and their relationships to Epstein have been released. The remainder of the documents will likely become public record throughout the next week.
Alan Dershowitz
Epstein allegedly forced Jane Doe 3 to “have sexual relations” with his lawyer, former Harvard Law professor Alan Dershowitz, when she was a “minor,” according to claims in the documents.
The alleged incidents took place “not only in Florida but … on private planes, in New York, New Mexico, and the U.S. Virgin Islands,” one filing stated, adding that Dershowitz also was an “eye-witness to the sexual abuse of many other minors.”
In a newly unsealed 2011 email, Sharon Churcher appears to remind Giuffre about Dershowitz’s presence in Epstein’s inner circle.
“Don’t forget Alan Dershowitz… JE’ s buddy and lawyer -good name for your pitch,” Churcher wrote, noting Dershowitz’s ties with Claud von Bülow, who was convinced and then acquitted of the attempted murder of his wife, Sunny.
“We all suspect Alan is a pedo and tho no proof of that, you probably met him when he was hanging put [sic] w JE,” Churcher added.
Three years later — in December 2014 — Giuffre accused Dershowitz of sexually abusing her during her time with Epstein. But she later dropped those claims, saying: “I now recognize I may have made a mistake in identifying Mr. Dershowitz.”
In her May 2016 deposition, Sjoberg denied Giuffre’s allegations that she had sex with Dershowitz in the back of a limousine while Giuffre and Epstein were present.
“I would remember that [if it happened],” Sjoberg insisted in the transcript released Friday.
Dershowitz, 85, has denied all allegations of wrongdoing. He defended himself and Epstein’s other associates earlier this week.
“You could judge them for having shown bad judgment, but you can’t conclude that any accusations against them are true without hearing the evidence,” he insisted.
He also explained to The Post why it was important to fight the case.
Stephen Hawking
Epstein offered a reward to Giuffre’s friends, acquaintances and even family members in order to “help prove” that her allegations that theoretical physicist and cosmologist Stephen Hawking participated in an orgy were false, an unsealed email between him and Maxwell stated.
The missive from January 2015 said Giuffre’s strongest allegation “is the Clinton dinner, and the new version in the Virgin Islands that Stephen Hawking participated in an underage orgy.”
Hawking — whose brilliant career coupled with his battle with early-onset ALS was documented in the Oscar-winning film “The Theory of Everything” — died in 2018 at age 76.
Al Gore
Maxwell’s attorneys requested Giuffre provide photos or videos of herself with several high-profile people — including former Vice President Al Gore.
Giuffre’s team objected to the motion on the grounds that such documents were in “custody and control” of Maxwell and Epstein, the unsealed paper showed.
Sjoberg also denied ever meeting Gore in her testimony.
Tipper Gore
Al Gore’s wife, Tipper, was also seen on Epstein’s private island, according to Giuffre’s deposition in a since-dropped case against Dershowitz, which was part of the cache of documents revealed in her 2015 defamation case against Maxwell.
The accuser said she had only seen the Gores at a dinner, chatting to each other.
Neither has ever publicly addressed their alleged relationship with Epstein.
Sarah Ferguson
Sarah Ferguson was named in a 2009 deposition by Juan Alessi, who was the housekeeper at Epstein’s Florida mansion from 1991 to 2002.
While her ex-husband Prince Andrew allegedly “spent weeks” getting “daily massages” at the luxe lair, Alessi said he believes the Duchess of York only visited the property once and “for a short period of time,” according to the documents.
Leslie Wexner
During her deposition, Maxwell denied giving a woman an outfit of a sexual nature to wear for Leslie Wexner, Epstein’s financial adviser and one-time business partner.
Maxwell also said she had not communicated with the billionaire L Brands founder — whose ties with Epstein date back to the 1980s — about Giuffre’s lawsuit.
In the third trove of documents released Friday, Wexner’s wife, Abigail, was name-checked on what appeared to be a notepad or list from Epstein’s Palm Beach home.
Abigail Wexner wanted to talk about something “private,” the handwritten note read.
New transcripts from Maxwell’s testimony that were released on Friday also revealed that the British socialite confirmed that she knew Epstein.
She denied, however, knowing whether Epstein accuser Maria Farmer was ever at Wexner’s Ohio property.
In her own testimony, Sjoberg denied meeting the Victoria’s Secret mogul.
Wexner has said he “was never aware of the illegal activity” Epstein was accused of committing.
Chelsea Clinton
Instead of giving a deposition in a civil suit filed against her sick beau, Maxwell attended the wedding of former first daughter Chelsea Clinton, according to a trove of court documents unsealed Friday.
The socialite initially agreed to be deposed after she was subpoenaed in 2009 for Guiffre’s case, the alleged victim’s lawyers wrote in the 2016 motion.
“At the eleventh hour Maxwell’s attorney informed plaintiff’s counsel that Maxwell’s mother was very ill and that consequently Maxwell was leaving the country with no plans to return,” the filing states.
Given the purported circumstances, her deposition was canceled.
However, the now-convicted sex trafficker was photographed watching from the crowd of 400 as former President Bill Clinton walked his daughter down the aisle during the lavish ceremony.
“Maxwell was photographed at Chelsea Clinton’s wedding in Rhinebeck, New York, confirming the suspicion that she was indeed still in the country and willing to say anything to avoid her deposition,” the filing states.
The claims were made in a 2016 motion asking that Maxwell’s request to conceal her financial assets be denied, arguing that the money proves she was deeply tied to Epstein’s sex-trafficking operation.
Bill Richardson
Giuffre testified that Maxwell sent her to have sex with late New Mexico Gov. Bill Richardson, according to the documents.
Sjoberg also recalled hearing about the Democrat being part of Epstein’s circle.
“I want to say that he was supposed to come to dinner when we were in New Mexico. I don’t know if I met him. I believe that he and Ghislaine had dinner separate from myself,” she said in her deposition.
Richardson died in September at age 75.
Jean-Luc Brunel
One of the men Maxwell ordered Giuffre to have sex with was Epstein’s close friend, French modeling scout Jean-Luc Brunel, Giuffre testified in 2016.
Sjoberg also recalled meeting Brunel at Epstein’s Palm Beach house, but testified that she did not have sex with him.
Brunel died by suicide in December 2020 while in a Parisian prison on charges of raping underage girls.
Marvin Minsky
In her 2016 deposition, Giuffre claimed that Maxwell ordered her to have sex with computer scientist and AI pioneer Marvin Minsky.
Minsky — who received a $100,000 grant from Epstein in 2002, according to Nature magazine — died in 2016 at age 88.
Michael Jackson
Sjoberg claimed to have met pop icon Michael Jackson at Epstein’s Palm Beach home.
She denied ever massaging Jackson — who died in 2009 at age 50.
David Copperfield
Sjoberg described magician David Copperfield performing tricks at a dinner at one of Epstein’s homes.
“He questioned me if I was aware that girls were getting paid to find other girls,” she added, noting that the illusionist did not specify what he meant.
Tom Pritzker
In her 2016 deposition, Giuffre claimed to have had sex “once” with Hyatt hotel chain heir Tom Pritzker.
A spokesperson for Pritzker — who is worth an estimated $6.2 billion on the Bloomberg Billionaires Index — said he “continues to vehemently deny” the allegation.
Glenn Dubin
Maxwell “sent out” Giuffre to give the hedge fund billionaire an erotic massage after she completed her “training” as part of Epstein’s entourage, Giuffre testified.
“Ghislaine told me to go to Glenn Dubin and give him a massage, which means sex,” Giuffre said of her encounter with the investor.
Dubin’s wife, former Miss Sweden Dr. Eva Andersson-Dubin, dated Epstein for several years.
In April 2016, Maxwell testified that she and Andersson-Dubin were friends, according to records that were released Friday.
Maxwell was also confronted with testimony from the Dubins’ butler, Ricardo Rizzo, who recalled a time when Maxwell allegedly brought a distraught 15-year-old girl to the Dubins’ house.
In her own deposition, Sjoberg recalled giving massages to both Dubin and Andersson-Dubin, but said “there was nothing sexual” about the encounters.
The couple denied Giuffre’s claims against them in a 2019 Vanity Fair article.
“The Dubins strongly deny these allegations, as we first said [in Vanity Fair] in 2019, when these unsubstantiated statements first surfaced as part of this same civil court proceeding,” a spokesperson for the couple told The Post Thursday.
Frédéric Fékkai
Epstein may have procured women for French celebrity hairstylist Frédéric Fékkai, Sjoberg claimed in her deposition.
“I heard [Epstein] call someone, and say, ‘Fekkai is in Hawaii. Can we find some girls for him?’” Sjoberg explained.
Ehud Barak
In her deposition, Sjoberg denied ever meeting former Israeli Prime Minister Ehud Barak during her time with Epstein.
Last spring, the high-flying politician admitted to the Wall Street Journal that he hobnobbed with Epstein in New York, but claimed he never met the businessman “with girls or minors, or even adult women in improper context or behavior.”
Chris Tucker
“Rush Hour” star Chris Tucker was name-dropped in one of Ghislaine Maxwell’s depositions that was unsealed Friday.
When attorneys presented Maxwell a flight log from Epstein’s private plane, Tucker, now 52, appeared on the list of names.
Kevin Spacey
Sjoberg denied crossing paths with actor Kevin Spacey, who was acquitted in July of several charges related to alleged sexual attacks on younger men between 2001 and 2013.
The “American Beauty” star was named on a flight log that attorneys read to Maxwell during her deposition, the Friday document dump revealed.
George Lucas
“Star Wars” creator George Lucas was mentioned once in the new documents — when Sjoberg denied meeting the film titan in Epstein’s circle.
Naomi Campbell
Giuffre testified in 2016 that Maxwell sent her to have sex with “the owner of a large hotel chain in France around the time of Naomi Campbell’s birthday party,” though she did not specify the year.
Photos previously emerged of Giuffre standing near Campbell on a yacht in the French Riviera in 2001.
Sjoberg said she did not meet the British supermodel in her own deposition.
Campbell said in 2019 that she had occasionally socialized with Epstein, but that she was not close with him and that his actions were “indefensible.”
Leonardo di Caprio, Cate Blanchett, Cameron Diaz and Bruce Willis
As part of her deposition, Sjoberg was asked about press reports that she’d met certain Hollywood stars – including Cate Blanchett and Leonardo DiCaprio — during her time with Epstein.
She denied meeting them, but said Epstein had bragged to her about having the celeb connections while she was giving him massages.
“I did not meet them, no. When I spoke about them, it was when I was massaging him, and he would get off — he would be on the phone a lot at that time, and one time he said, ‘Oh, that was Leonardo,’ or, ‘That was Cate Blanchett,’ or Bruce Willis. That kind of thing,” Sjoberg clarified in her deposition.
Sjoberg denied a press report that she met several Hollywood stars during her time with Epstein.
“I did not meet them, no. When I spoke about them, it was when I was massaging him, and he would get off — he would be on the phone a lot at that time, and one time he said, ‘Oh, that was Leonardo,’ or, ‘That was Cate Blanchett,’ or Bruce Willis. That kind of thing,” she clarified in her deposition.
When asked if she had met Cameron Diaz as part of Epstein’s circle, Sjoberg said “no.”
Ruslana Korshunova
Giuffre was asked if she knew top model Ruslana Korshunova — who it now emerges had been a passenger on Epstein’s infamous private jet in June 2006, two years before she jumped to her death in NYC.
The so-called “Russian Rapunzel” was just 18 when she flew with Epstein to his private island, flight logs show. After she jumped from her Manhattan apartment balcony in 2008, her then-boyfriend said she had problems that she kept “bottled up.”
An email in Thursday’s drop shows attorney Brad Edwards asking Giuffre if she recognized the model, who appeared in ads for Marc Jacobs, DKNY, and Vera Wang. “I can say that I have never had any meetings with her, sorry not to be of any help there,” Giuffre replied.
Kenneth Starr
Former US Solicitor General Kenneth Starr is namechecked for his role in securing Epstein’s Oct. 2007 non-prosecution agreement, which allowed him to avoid a possible life sentence while pleading guilty to state charges of soliciting and procuring a minor for prostitution.
“[Epstein] got off the first time round after retaining Kenneth Starr (who witchhunted Bill Clinton) and Alan Dershowitz,” reporter Sharon Churcher wrote literary agent Jarred Helperin in a June 2011 exchange about Virginia Giuffre’s book pitch.
Starr – who made headlines throughout the 1990s for spearheading the federal probes into the Whitewater scandal and Clinton’s affair with Monica Lewinsky – died in 2022 at age 76.
The Justice Department later found that former Labor Secretary Alex Acosta exercised “poor judgment” in allowing the deal with Epstein.
‘The Pope’
While under questioning about possible nude photos at Epstein’s Palm Beach manse, Johanna Sjoberg recalled there being snapshots “everywhere” — including one of Maxwell with “the Pope.”
While Sjoberg did not specify when the photo may have been taken, or which Pope Maxwell was photographed with, witnesses previously recalled seeing a photo at Epstein’s Florida mansion of him with Pope John Paul II.
