The Epstein Files, as they are usually referred to in the media, are the records presumed to have been kept by noted pedophile Jeffrey Epstein regarding his client base. Which is to say: the rich men (well, mostly men) who Epstein supplied with underage girls for sexual purposes. They are, politically and legally speaking, a ticking time bomb that might at any moment destroy a large proportion of the Anglosphere’s richest and most powerful people. Names associated with Epstein in the past include Prince Andrew of the United Kingdom, singer Michael Jackson, physicist Stephen Hawking, former American President Bill Clinton and current American President Donald Trump.
Trump is particularly notable here, because the Justice Department that made this announcement works for him, and is led by people Trump appointed more for their loyalty to him than any professional experience. Indeed, on the campaign trail in 2024, he accused the Biden administration of concealing the files to protect pedophiles. On two separate occasions, he pledged to release the files if elected. After he re-assumed office in 2025, he appointed Pam Bondi attorney-general (and thus, head of the Justice Department) – and on February 21, she stated that the list of Jeffrey Epstein’s clients was “sitting on my desk right now to review. That’s been a directive by President Trump. I’m reviewing that.”
By a strange coincidence, Donald Trump is a longtime friend of Jeffrey Epstein’s and widely believed – based on his own statements – to feature prominently on that client list. The scandal regarding what appears to now be a cover-up of his own has dogged his administration ever since this announcement.
