WASHINGTON, DC: Attorney General Pam Bondi on Saturday, February 14, released a list of 300 politicians and high-profile individuals whose names appeared within the Department of Justice’s Jeffrey Epstein investigative files.

In a letter sent to the leaders of the House and Senate Judiciary Committees, Bondi and Deputy Attorney General Todd Blanche stated that the DOJ had made public all the materials required under the 'Epstein Files Transparency Act'.

The letter was addressed to Senate Judiciary Chairman Chuck Grassley and ranking member Dick Durbin, along with House Judiciary Chairman Jim Jordan and ranking member Jamie Raskin.

While Bondi’s name appeared at the top, the document was signed by Blanche. The release marked the formal conclusion of what the department described as a sweeping compliance review.

Global elite named in transparency push



The 300-name list included a wide range of politically exposed individuals and public figures.

Among those referenced were President Donald Trump, former Presidents Barack Obama and Bill Clinton, Vice President Kamala Harris, Nancy Pelosi, and Hakeem Jeffries.

The DOJ emphasized that inclusion did not indicate criminal conduct, direct contact with Epstein, or any finding of wrongdoing.

According to the department, some individuals had direct email exchanges with Epstein or Ghislaine Maxwell, while others were referenced in secondary materials, including press reports unrelated to criminal charges.

The list also included figures from entertainment, business, and global institutions.

Entertainment figures named included Robert De Niro, Bill Cosby, Woody Allen, Jay Z, Beyonce, Bruce Springsteen, and Bono.

Business leaders listed included Bill Gates, Elon Musk, and Mark Zuckerberg. International figures such as Prince Harry and Pope John Paul II were also referenced in the broader file review.

DOJ manages massive 6-million-page review

The DOJ stated that hundreds of lawyers had reviewed approximately 6 million pages of investigative material to meet the December 19, 2025, deadline established under the transparency law.

Although the department missed the initial deadline by several weeks, officials said that more than 3.5 million pages had now been released.

The records included financial data, exploitation-related evidence, and internal communications among federal investigators.

Bondi and Blanche noted that certain documents remained withheld due to legal protections, including deliberative-process privilege, work-product privilege, and attorney-client privilege.

The department also made redactions to protect survivors’ identities and personal information. A limited number of documents remained subject to ongoing litigation and might be released at a later date.

No redactions for 'reputational harm'



In the letter, DOJ leadership stated that no materials were withheld or redacted to shield public officials or other individuals from embarrassment or political sensitivity.

“No records were withheld or redacted on the basis of embarrassment, reputational harm, or political sensitivity,” the department wrote.

Officials acknowledged that given the speed and scale of the review process, omissions from the 300-name list could occur but described any such gaps as unintentional.

The release followed heightened scrutiny on Capitol Hill, where lawmakers were granted access to unredacted files under monitored conditions.

Last week, Rep Ro Khanna accused the department of withholding information about six “wealthy and powerful men.” The DOJ later clarified that four of the individuals referenced were included in a photo lineup and were not identified as having direct ties to Epstein.

Blanche responded publicly to the claims, describing them as “false accusations” made before the full context of the documents was reviewed.
