Epstein’s Ex-Attorney Reveals Two Democrats On The ‘Epstein List’
Former Harvard law professor and veteran trial attorney Alan Dershowitz — who represented notorious pedophile Jeffrey Epstein in his 2008 criminal case — said during a recent appearance on Fox News that at least two prominent Democrats are named in files relating to the case.
While speaking with host Shannon Bream on “Fox News Sunday,” Dershowitz stated that while the Epstein “client list” does not exist in the way it has been built up in some corners of the internet, there are other ways to reveal the names of individuals who were potentially involved in Epstein’s crimes.
““Are [the names] in the grand jury transcripts, and do you think a judge releases that?” Bream asked the attorney. “I think the judge should release it, but they’re not in the grand jury transcripts. There are sealed records by two or three federal judges in the New York courts. I’ve seen some of these materials,” Dershowitz responded.
“For example, there is an FBI report of interviews with alleged victims in which at least one of the victims names very important people, and the names have been redacted. I know some of the names from my investigation,” he added.
Dershowitz went on to name George Mitchell, a former Democratic Senator from Maine who previously served as Senate majority leader before his retirement in 2011, as one of the individuals referenced in documents. He also named Bill Richardson, the former governor of New Mexico who later served as UN ambassador.
He also noted that former Israel Prime Minister Ehud Barak has also been accused. “Now, whether any of these people actually did anything wrong, we don’t know, because we know there have been many, many false accusations,” Dershowitz noted.
Dershowitz himself was once accused of being involved in Epstein’s crimes by the late Virginia Giuffre, one of Epstein’s most prominent accusers who took her own life this past April. The attorney vehemently denied the allegation and sued Giuffre for defamation.
In 2022, Giuffre dropped her suit and stated that she may have made a “mistake.”
Dershowitz further referenced the case of Sarah Ransome, who filed an affidavit accusing Bill and Hillary Clinton, Donald Trump, Richard Branson and others of participating in Epstein’s crimes. “And she said she had videotapes of this, and then after an investigation, she admitted that she made up the whole story, and yet the affidavit still remains in the court records,” he said.
Ransome later admitted that she did not have any such tapes and made up the accusation in order to draw attention to Epstein’s legitimate criminal behavior.
“So we have to distinguish true accusations from false accusations,” Dershowitz told Fox News, once again reiterating that the Democrats listed in documents have not been convicted or credibly accused of a crime.
President Donald Trump last week ordered Attorney General Pam Bondi to file for the release of all grand jury transcripts relating to the Epstein case. He has also instructed her to release any “credible” information regarding the case that has not already been released to the public.
