Dershowitz says he knows Epstein client list names

Lawyer Alan Dershowitz on Thursday said he knows the list of names in the Jeffrey Epstein files regarding alleged clients in his international sex trafficking ring.

“I know the names of the individuals. I know why they’re being suppressed. I know who’s suppressing them,” Dershowitz said during an appearance on “The Sean Spicer Show.”

“But I’m bound by confidentiality from a judge and cases, and I can’t disclose what I know,” he added, noting at one point he was falsely named as a client. 

The Trump administration vowed earlier this year to release the documents and names of individuals tied to Epstein’s inner circle.

Tech billionaire Elon Musk ignited flames after reminding the public that President Trump was formerly one of Epstein’s acquaintances after dissing the “big, beautiful bill.”

The president brushed off comments related to Epstein earlier this week. 

“Are you still talking about Jeffrey Epstein? This guy’s been talked about for years. You’re asking we have Texas, we have this, we have all of the things. And are people still talking about this guy? This creep? That is unbelievable,” Trump said Tuesday to a reporter who asked about the convicted sex offender and financier.

The White House has maintained that there is no “client list,” a narrative that some question.

“I think what’s really just astonishing about this recent disclosure from the government is that they know they are sitting on a treasure trove of information, and they’re not turning it over. And I’ve worked on these cases for over 10 years now there’s a plethora of information that the public has not been able to see relating to Epstein and his co-conspirators,” Sigrid McCawley, who is representing several Epstein victims in their civil cases, said during an appearance on “Elizabeth Vargas Reports.”

Dershowitz said the list is being withheld in an effort to “protect” those involved with Epstein’s crimes.

“I know the names of people whose files are being suppressed in order to protect them, and that’s wrong,” he told Sean Spicer on Thursday. 

One of Epstein’s victims, Virginia Giuffre, died by suicide earlier this year following long-term illness and decades of trauma related to sexual abuse. McCawley says those who were involved in helping Epstein commit his crimes should be held accountable.

“Epstein could not have run this operation without the help of many people. He needed a lawyer who would, you know, cover things up for him. He needed an accountant who would funnel money in certain ways,” McCawley said. 

“And as we know, he had a group of people around him who helped protect him and helped that scheme to continue running. None of those people have been prosecuted.”
