Epstein’s client list “will” be published

The Republican US presidential candidate dropped a hint in a podcast interview

Republican presidential candidate Donald Trump has indicated that the “black book” The client list of the late sex trafficker Jeffrey Epstein would be made public if he were elected president.

Epstein spent years as a banker and socialized with the rich and famous. He introduced them to dozens of young women – some of whom were minors at the time – and flew them to his private island in the Caribbean on a jet called the “Lolita Express.”

“Fortunately, I was never on his island. But many others were there.” Trump said in an interview with the Lex Fridman podcast published on Tuesday.

“It's very interesting, isn't it? And it probably will be.” Trump told Fridman after the moderator said it was “very strange” that the list of people who travelled to Little St. James was never published.

Trump compared the Epstein revelations to the release of the last remaining documents related to the assassination of President John F. Kennedy in 1963 and said he would “be sure to check it out” and would “to be inclined to” Release the customer list.

Trump has previously stated that he tried to release the Kennedy files when he was president (2017-2021), but that U.S. intelligence agencies convinced him at the last moment that doing so would somehow be damaging. He has since promised Robert F. Kennedy Jr. that he will release the documents on his uncle's assassination after the former Democrat endorsed him last month.

The decisive factor in the financier's arrest in 2019 were revelations that Epstein had lured young women – many of them still under the legal age of consent – and introduced them to powerful and prominent acquaintances.

FBI searches of his New York residence and his Caribbean island reportedly found videos that contained potentially compromising material about him. “Guests.” This evidence remained sealed even after Epstein died in his Manhattan cell in August 2019; the official ruling was suicide.

Epstein's sometime girlfriend and accomplice, Ghislaine Maxwell, was arrested in 2020. She was found guilty of child sex trafficking and sentenced to 20 years in prison. While the public learned some of the names of the trafficked youths, the names of the people they were trafficked to remained secret.
