Trump Announces Epstein Client List Will Be Made Public
In a recent podcast interview, Republican presidential candidate Donald Trump hinted that if elected, he might disclose the “black book” containing the client list of the late sex trafficker Jeffrey Epstein.

Epstein, a financier, was known for his connections with the wealthy and influential, often introducing them to numerous young women—a number of whom were underage—while frequently hosting lavish events at his private Caribbean island, referred to as the ‘Lolita Express’.

“I never went to his island, fortunately. But a lot of people did,” Trump stated during his appearance on the Lex Fridman podcast, which aired on Tuesday.

“It’s very interesting, isn’t it? Probably will be, by the way,” Trump added, after Fridman pointed out it was “very strange” that the list of individuals who visited Little St. James has yet to be revealed.

Trump also drew parallels between the potential release of Epstein's client list and the declassification of remaining documents related to the assassination of President John F. Kennedy in 1963, indicating he would “certainly take a look at it” and would “be inclined to” make the list public.

Previously, Trump claimed that during his presidency, he attempted to release the Kennedy files, only to be dissuaded by the US intelligence community, which warned him that doing so could be harmful. Recently, he promised Robert F. Kennedy Jr. that he would declassify documents pertaining to his uncle’s assassination after receiving the former Democrat's endorsement last month.

Revelations surrounding Epstein's actions, which included luring and exploiting young women—many of whom were below the age of consent—played a crucial role in his arrest in 2019. FBI investigations into his properties in New York and on his Caribbean island reportedly uncovered videos that might contain compromising material involving his “guests.” This evidence remained sealed even after Epstein's death in his Manhattan cell in August 2019, officially ruled a suicide.

Ghislaine Maxwell, who was once involved with Epstein, was arrested in 2020 and subsequently convicted of child sex trafficking, receiving a 20-year prison sentence. While some identities of the trafficked minors have been disclosed, the names of those to whom they were trafficked remain unknown.
