JUST IN: Jeffrey Epstein’s Client List To Be Declassified, Released To The Public
A Trump Administration task force charged with declassifying troves of federal secrets relating to the assassinations of former President John F. Kennedy and Martin Luther King Jr., among other things, announced that notorious sex trafficker and Democratic Party financier Jeffrey Epstein’s infamous client list is set to be released.
U.S. Rep. Anna Paulina Luna (R-FL), who was appointed to lead the task force by President Trump, announced Tuesday that thousands of documents relating to numerous events and tragedies will soon be released. “With the stroke of a pen, [President Trump] committed to declassifying the files concerning the assassinations of President John F. Kennedy, Robert F. Kennedy, and Dr. Martin Luther King Jr. A decision not just monumental, but pivotal,” Rep. Luna said during a press conference on Tuesday.
Luna, who was tapped to head up the House Oversight Task Force on Declassification of Federal Secrets, announced that the task force will be conducting investigations into UFO/UAP phenomena, unidentified submerged objects also known as USOs, the origins of COVID-19 and previously unreleased files relating to the September 11 attacks.
The congresswoman then announced that Jeffrey Epstein’s infamous client list — which has long been rumored to contain the names of numerous high-profile Democratic Party politicians and allied celebrities — will be released. Several Republican members of Congress will be detailed to the task force, which is set to hold its first hearing in March.
“The date will be announced soon. And we’ve already initiated close to a dozen communications with various agencies, to include Pam Bondi at the Department of Justice and the Secretary of State,” Rep. Luna told reporters.
“This will no longer be a task force that makes bold promises only to fade into irrelevance or send strongly worded letters. This will be a relentless pursuit of truth and transparency, and we will not stop until the American people have the answers they deserve. We will cut through the bureaucracy, challenge the stonewalling, and ensure that the American people finally get the truth that they have been denied for too long.”
President Trump has long vowed to release Epstein’s infamous client list once he returned to the White House. Epstein — who owned a private island in the U.S. Virgin Islands were dozens of underage girls were trafficked and forced to perform sex acts on powerful individuals — killed himself under mysterious circumstances in a Manhattan federal prison in 2019.
Epstein’s flight logs — which contained the names of former President Bill Clinton, Hollywood actor Kevin Spacey and Prince Andrew among dozens of other high-profile individuals — have previously been released. The flight logs do not present the full picture, however, as not every individual on the list traveled to the notorious island.
For example, Robert F. Kennedy Jr. has chartered Epstein’s jet in the past for unrelated travel, a common practice for wealthy individuals and families who travel on private jets. President Trump also used the jet in the past, though dozens of witnesses have stated that the president was not involved in any of Epstein’s illegal activities.
Epstein was banned from the president’s Mar-A-Lago estate after he reportedly attempted to approach an underage girl. “I’m not a fan of his,” Trump said after Epstein’s suicide, adding that he had not spoken to him in more than 15 years.
It is unclear whether the client list differs from Epstein’s “black book,” which has been made public and referenced in numerous court proceedings. President Trump has suggested that former President Bill Clinton did indeed travel to the island, a claim Clinton has denied.
Attorney General Pam Bondi reiterated the claim while speaking with Fox News just last week. “We know he [Clinton] was on the plane, called the Lolita Express, multiple times. He has been a continued friend of his for many years. Contrast that with Donald Trump, who had not spoken to him for over a decade after he kicked him out of Mar-a-Lago for bad behavior,” she said.
Epstein, 66, hanged himself in a Manhattan jail cell while awaiting charges for sex trafficking in 2019. After his death, his former girlfriend, Ghislaine Maxwell, was prosecuted for her role in trafficking underage victims and sentenced to 20 years in prison.
Senator Marsha Blackburn (R-TN) called for the release of the client list during the confirmation hearing for incoming FBI Director Kash Patel last month.“I have been working on this for years, trying to get those records of who flew on Epstein’s plane and who helped him build this international human-trafficking, sex-trafficking ring,” Blackburn told Patel.
“Absolutely, senator,” Patel replied. “Child sex trafficking has no place in the United States of America and I will do everything, if confirmed as FBI director, to make sure the American public knows the full weight of what happened in the past and how we are going to countermand missing children and exploited children going forward.
