Epstein files ‘Phase 1’ includes list of contacts, spans 100 pages

Former Trump Attorney General Pam Bondi is set to release the first phase of the long-anticipated Epstein files on Thursday. According to an advance report from the New York Post, the document spans over 100 pages and contains a list of contacts. The release is part of a promise made by former President Donald Trump during his campaign.

However, those expecting major revelations may be disappointed. A source who previewed the files told the Post that the initial release does not include the highly sought-after client list detailing individuals who allegedly took part in Jeffrey Epstein’s illicit activities.

Epstein, who was facing trial for sex trafficking at the time of his death in 2019, was known for providing underage girls to powerful figures, including politicians and celebrities.

According to the Post, while the first batch of documents does not include a list of Epstein’s clients, more materials are expected to follow.

Attorneys from the Department of Justice have indicated that flight logs, names, and other crucial details may eventually be revealed, though it remains unclear if additional files will be made public today.

Many high-profile individuals have been associated with Epstein over the years, either through social connections or business dealings. Among them are Bill Clinton, Bill Gates—who has since expressed regret over his association with Epstein—Prince Andrew, Kevin Spacey, Alec Baldwin, and George Stephanopoulos.

Although their exact involvement remains unverified, public interest in uncovering potential wrongdoing remains high. The release of these documents is expected to shed light on the extent of Epstein’s network and the individuals who may have been involved.

The effort to release Epstein’s files has been supported by several lawmakers, including Representatives Anna Paulina Luna and Marsha Blackburn. They, along with many others, have pushed for full transparency regarding Epstein’s connections and activities.

The Thursday release was initially delayed due to concerns over protecting the identities of over 200 victims. Bondi explained that additional time was needed to ensure their privacy and safety before making any files public.

While this initial release may not contain the explosive details some had hoped for, it marks the beginning of what could be a significant unraveling of Epstein’s secret dealings. As further documents are released, the public may finally get closer to the truth behind one of the most controversial scandals in recent history.
