The files were published on Friday under a transparency law passed by Congress, after months of political pressure. Large sections remain redacted.
The documents were made public under the Epstein Files Transparency Act, which requires the release of unclassified records linked to Epstein and his longtime associate Ghislaine Maxwell.
Epstein died in jail in 2019 while awaiting trial on federal sex-trafficking charges. Maxwell was convicted in 2021 and is serving a 20-year prison sentence.
Donald Trump faced pressure from both parties to allow the release, according to Reuters.
Below is a list of public figures who are named or pictured in the released material reviewed so far. Appearance in the files does not suggest involvement in Epstein’s crimes.
Former US president. Appears in several photographs, including images showing him in a swimming pool and hot tub. Clinton has denied any wrongdoing. In 2019, a spokesperson said he knew “nothing about the terrible crimes” committed by Epstein.



Singer. Appears in photographs alongside Epstein and in another image with Bill Clinton and Diana Ross. There is no allegation of wrongdoing linked to the Epstein case.

Musician and lead singer of the Rolling Stones. Appears in photographs with Bill Clinton. The BBC has contacted Jagger’s representatives for comment.

Formerly known as Prince Andrew. Appears in a photograph alongside Ghislaine Maxwell and several people whose faces are redacted. He has repeatedly denied all wrongdoing in relation to Epstein.
Epstein’s longtime associate. Convicted in 2021 of aiding the sex trafficking of teenage girls and sentenced to 20 years in prison.



Actor. Appears in photographs with Bill Clinton and Ghislaine Maxwell. Spacey has previously called for all Epstein files to be released.

Former Duchess of York. Appears in one of the released photographs.

Another photo shows Sir Richard Branson, who co-founded the Virgin group, alongside Epstein with what appears to be two women, who are redacted, in the background.

In the newly released documents, one of the files labeled “Contact Book” contains a list of names with contact information redacted.

The singer and his then-wife Orianne, appeared.
Musician. Listed in contact records included in the files.

Actor. Named in address book-style documents.
The Guardian reports that many images are undated and released without context. Some documents remain hidden to protect victims, avoid interfering with investigations, or prevent the release of abusive material.

Experts say the documents may not provide a full picture of Epstein’s network, despite the scale of the release. More material is expected to be published in the coming weeks.
