So it was more than Trump? How many are on the Epstein List and also in his current administration is going to be the real question.

Maybe he has been doing the hiring off the list, so everyone.
Barr, Acosta, Bondi, Dershowitz... yeah, we know he's hired a bunch with connections to Epstein. I'm pretty sure there are a lot more in his administration and in Congress with intimate connections with Epstein that we don't know about.
RFK
It would be hilarious if the whole list was blacked out and just “Bill Clinton” was left.
And a few written in sharpie
Low IQ Kumala Hariss
(imagine the reason they can't release it is because every time he writes other names in sharpie, he then signs it, adding his name back to the list)
"OK, Mr president, that's great, now please hand me the - no, no! Ugh..."
"THANK YOU FOR YOUR ATTENTION TO THIS MATTER"
That was a funny meme four to six weeks ago with all the names sharpied out and Hussein Obama, Khaamellah, Sleepy Joe and "Eric" written in sharpie at the bottom.
How I read this: every blacked out name is a Republican.
So.... yeah, go ahead and release the list you fucking cowards.
until we get the unredacted list, assume every Republican is on the list
Already do, even if they didn't do the actual crime they know who did and won't say anything that makes them just as bad
Honestly, doing this for would be such a hilarious operational vulnerability that I think it would be like a dinner bell ringing to th international spy community lol.
If they release files with only Republican names blocked out, all it'll take is a single congressperson to read the full list of names that appear in the documents out loud during a speech and into the public record — then, Internet sleuths and journalists will be able to piece together names from details, they always do.
Reporter: "Comically evil corruption gets me so hot."
Shithead: "Oh yeah? Better hold on to your armrests then or you're going to slip off that chair."
The acting deputy chief of a Justice Department unit said on hidden camera that the government will "redact every Republican" from an Epstein client list. He later admitted he was basing his comments on media reports.
Why it matters: The O'Keefe Media Group, a far-right media organization, secretly recorded Joseph Schnitt's comments and published them on Thursday.

So, nobody read it?
Based on the fact that no corporate media sewers have picked up the story (it only appears on Hindustan Times, HuffPost, Daily Beast, MSN, Times Now (?), Yahoo, and the O'Keefe Media Group website) I'm going to guess it's not actually of any value, so to speak.
If he "admitted" it was "based on media reports" i.e. he never saw the list or has anything to do with it, it's just the "O'Keefe Media Group" (jesus fred christ on a busted goddamned crutch) trying to get some viral press.
Now, yes perhaps the corporate news sewers are trying to suppress the story and the "O'Keefe Media Group" has scored a huge takedown of the trump administration. But all things being equal, probably not.
already know who's in the files
have to wait for our government to incrininate itself for it to be official
Some alien race is going to dig this shit up in 2000 years and go "fuckin seriously!?"
Aren't the republicans the party of Christianity? Numbers 31:18 But all the women children, that have not known a man by lying with him, keep alive for yourselves.
Never mind ...
How about Genesis 19:30-38?
Err... Wait, that's not right either.
I sure want sane rational members of society believing in such a book. Let's promote acceptance of it.
Trump is in them or connected to them in some way.
Bondi has already reportedly confirmed to Trump that he is in them.
Connected in that he fucked kids with Jeffrey Epstein is my guess.
Give O'Keefe well-known problems with the truth, I do have some reservations about context, etc.
Still, that video, yikes.
“I met a woman named Skylar on Hinge, a dating app, in July 2025, her profile is no longer findable. We had two dates (August 4 and August 16). She claimed to be an au pair in Georgetown. She gave no clues that she was a reporter or recording our dates. Had I a clue, the first date would have ended immediately and there never would have been a second one.
My profile indicated I did “Government” work but did not specify for which agency. I never discussed what do at DOJ.
The comments I made were my own personal comments on what l’ve learned in the media and not from anything l’ve done at or learned via work. I have no knowledge of the circumstances surrounding Ms.
Maxwell other than what is reported in the news. I also never divulged anything about what I do at work. I recall that she asked if I had any knowledge about Maxwell and I specifically said I only know what’s been reported in the media.”

Aw. Skylar seems nice. Also, isn't it funny this is what Epstein was doing, only with underage rape instead of a cup of coffee, and for governmental leverage instead of viral hit points.
