More than 300 high-profile individuals including Donald Trump and Sir Keir Starmer have been named in the latest release of documents tied to Jeffrey Epstein under the Epstein Files Transparency Act — though officials have strongly emphasised that appearing in the files does not imply any wrongdoing or legal culpability.
The names, from politicians like the Obamas to singers like Bruce Springsteen, appear in a “wide variety of contexts,” according to Attorney General Pam Bondi and her deputy Todd Blanche. The release follows months of meticulous review, during which federal workers sifted through millions of emails, photos, and documents in batches. The Trump administration began releasing files in December, with the full set now submitted to Congress.

Only sensitive material protecting victims, active investigations, or child abuse content was withheld.
1) Andrew Mountbatten‑Windsor (formerly Prince Andrew)
Prince Andrew is the most prominent UK figure in the files. Emails and photos document interactions with Epstein dating back years, including invitations to social events and archived press references. The fallout continues, intensified by his removal of royal titles and ongoing scrutiny from law enforcement.
2) Donald Trump
President Trump’s name appears throughout the documents, from archival flight logs and social notices to media references included in the files. The DOJ notes he is among those whose names appear at least once across the millions of pages.
3) Sir Keir Starmer
While not personally implicated in any wrongdoing, the British Prime Minister has faced intense pressure and calls for his resignation. The scrutiny stems from his judgment in appointing Peter Mandelson to a high-level diplomatic role despite Mandelson’s known ties to Epstein.
4) Elon Musk
The tech entrepreneur appears in the DOJ’s list, reflecting archival references and press material archived in the Epstein files. His inclusion underscores the release’s wide scope, extending beyond direct communications.

5) Sarah Ferguson (formerly the Duchess of York)
Emails from the late 2000s and early 2010s show Ferguson seeking Epstein’s advice and expressing gratitude for his financial support. These exchanges, combined with prior reporting, highlight her social and financial links within Epstein’s circle.
6) Sir Tony Blair
The former UK Prime Minister appears among politically exposed persons whose names surface in the files. His inclusion reflects references in media and archival records rather than documented wrongdoing.
7) Bill Gates
Mr Gates appears on the official list, his name captured through press references and materials archived in the documents.
8) Queen Elizabeth II
While not directly involved, the Queen appears through archival references in context documents detailing members of the British royal family.

9) Woody Allen
The Academy Award‑winning filmmaker is listed, likely due to archival or media references in the released files.
10) Bruce Springsteen
The musician’s name appears in press references included in the DOJ’s list, highlighting the files’ broad reach into cultural figures.
Other surprising figures also appear on the list, including Michael Jackson, Mick Jagger, Kurt Cobain, and Kim Kardashian. Many are included due to archival press content or incidental references, underscoring the files’ sprawling coverage of global celebrities, royals, and political figures.
Last week, Attorney General Pam Bondi faced intense bipartisan criticism during a Congressional hearing over how the files were released and how the names list was compiled.
Politicians blasted the DOJ for mixing current politicians with deceased celebrities, arguing the lack of context made it difficult for the public to distinguish direct associations from incidental mentions.
Ms Bondi defended the department, stating that no records were withheld for reputational reasons and that the release fully complied with the Epstein Files Transparency Act, even as debate continues over redactions and the millions of pages still under review.
As journalists, lawmakers, and researchers continue to parse the materials, the Epstein files offer an unprecedented — if messy — window into the network of power, influence, and social connections surrounding the disgraced financier.
