For years, the Jeffrey Epstein scandal has been clouded by secrecy—sealed depositions, heavily redacted documents, and opaque court orders. Now, in a resurfaced interview with Sean Spicer, former Epstein attorney Alan Dershowitz has claimed to know who appears on Epstein’s confidential client list and why those names remain hidden: a judge’s gag order, he alleges, serves to protect reputations rather than victims.

Dershowitz argued that the confidentiality mandate was part of “a coordinated effort to shield the powerful,” suggesting that elite figures linked to Epstein have leveraged legal privilege to escape public scrutiny. His revelations have reignited public outrage over the decades‐old case, highlighting persistent gaps in accountability.

Compounding the controversy, the Department of Justice under the Biden administration recently reversed its earlier commitment to fully declassify Epstein‐related materials. A DOJ memo now maintains there are “no additional files to release,” a reversal that transparency advocates decry as another attempt to bury inconvenient truths.

With Dershowitz himself facing—but vigorously denying—allegations tied to the Epstein network, calls for an independent, thorough investigation have only grown louder. Until all records see the light of day, the Epstein affair will continue to stand as a stark reminder of how wealth and influence can distort the course of justice.
