The Justice Department released Phase One of the Jeffrey Epstein files featuring many prominent names in the contact list. While all the names like Ralph Fiennes and Michael Jackson were already known to the public, some of the celebrities who were rumored to be on the list seemed to be left out.
Actors like Leonardo DiCaprio and Cate Blanchett were long speculated to be on Epstein’s list as they were mentioned in the leaked documents. Epstein was convicted of procuring a child for pr*stitution and was accused of s*xually abusing several minors, with some as young as fourteen years.
Jeffrey Epstein’s Phase One files reveal prominent celebrity names that the world already knew about
The Jeffrey Epstein case has long been under investigation, despite the disgraced businessman having died in 2019 inside jail. The former math teacher was accused of child s*xual abuse by several girls and was convicted in one case. He was arrested on federal charges for the s*x trafficking of minors before his death.
Epstein’s files have long been hidden, with some leaks revealing prominent celebrities being associated with the criminal. The businessman reportedly hosted parties with known celebrities on his private island, where many shady practices were speculated to have occurred. The Justice Department released Phase One of these files this week (via AP News).
While the files were the first step in ensuring full transparency within the case, none of the information in the files seemed to be new. Many leaks over the years have revealed prominent celebrities in the list, which included Ralph Fiennes, Michael Jackson, Alec Baldwin, Ethel Kennedy, Mick Jagger, and more (via New York Post).
The list also reportedly included Ivana Trump and Ivanka Trump but not President Donald Trump. The president was reportedly seen with Epstein years ago at a party. The presence of the names does not indicate any wrongdoing yet as Epstein was known to have celebrities in his business contacts.
Celebrities like Leonardo DiCaprio and Cate Blanchett are missing from Epstein’s files
The names of celebrities involved or associated with Jeffrey Epstein have long been speculated, with rumors of prominent actors, musicians, and politicians being spread around. The infamous Epstein List was speculated to be all the celebrities who indulged in criminal activities, but there has been no proof of the same.
Early last year, celebrities such as Leonardo DiCaprio, Cate Blanchett, and Cameron Diaz were rumored to be on the list. Other prominent names allegedly included were Dr. Stephen Hawking, Prince Andrew, and actors Kevin Spacey and Bruce Willis. Some witnesses reportedly claimed that Epstein would mention DiCaprio and Blanchett (via Marca).
The name Chris Evans also reportedly made the rounds, but it was then later revealed to be the British DJ named Chris Evans and not the Captain America: The First Avenger star (via The Scotsman).
However, none of these names were included in the Phase One files released by Attorney General Pam Bondi. While it is possible that subsequent phases would reveal the full picture, the names revealed thus far have not been that revelatory so far, with some citizens even being disappointed at the information released.
Bondi has reportedly urged the FBI to release all documents related to Jeffrey Epstein’s case by Friday to fulfill President Donald Trump’s promise during the elections that he would make the Epstein case public.
