Former Harvard Law professor Alan Dershowitz appeared on Fox News Sunday to shed light on names linked to Jeffrey Epstein’s notorious circle, naming two high-profile former Democratic officials. Speaking with host Shannon Bream, Dershowitz emphasized there is no formal “client list,” but clarified that crucial information can still be found through other legal channels and sealed materials.

Dershowitz, who once served on Epstein’s legal team during his 2008 prosecution—when Epstein pleaded guilty to soliciting a minor for prostitution—said the public may soon see more details emerge if courts act transparently.

Bream asked, “Are [the names] in the grand jury transcripts, and do you think a judge releases that?” Dershowitz replied, “I think the judge should release it, but they’re not in the grand jury transcripts. There are sealed records by two or three federal judges in the New York courts. I’ve seen some of these materials.”

He elaborated further: “For example, there is an FBI report of interviews with alleged victims in which at least one of the victims names very important people, and the names have been redacted. I know some of the names from my investigation.”

Among those accused in such documents were George Mitchell, former Senate Majority Leader from Maine, and Bill Richardson, the late former New Mexico Governor and U.S. Ambassador to the UN. Dershowitz also mentioned former Israeli Prime Minister Ehud Barak. “Now, whether any of these people actually did anything wrong, we don’t know, because we know there have been many, many false accusations,” he stated, wisely calling for discernment.

Both Mitchell and Richardson were longtime Democrats, with Mitchell retiring from public service in 2011 and Richardson passing away in 2023. Their inclusion raises renewed questions about political favoritism in how the Epstein saga has been handled publicly.

Dershowitz himself has been targeted with allegations. Virginia Giuffre, a key Epstein accuser who tragically died by suicide earlier this year, had claimed in 2019 that Dershowitz was one of the men she was forced to engage with. Dershowitz, however, has adamantly denied the accusation and launched a defamation suit against Giuffre. According to The Western Journal, she ultimately dropped the case in 2022, stating she “may have made a mistake.”

Another accusation, Dershowitz noted, came from Sarah Ransome. “A woman named Sarah Ransome filed an affidavit. It’s probably in the record. It’s probably been sealed, in which she accused Bill Clinton, Hillary Clinton, Donald Trump, Richard Branson of having sex with young people. And she said she had videotapes of this, and then after an investigation, she admitted that she made up the whole story, and yet the affidavit still remains in the court records,” he said.

This reveals how weaponized false accusations have polluted legitimate investigations. In fact, The New Yorker reported in 2019 that “Ransome was another imperfect witness” and had fabricated claims of sex tapes involving political and business elites. She later admitted she invented the story to protect herself from Epstein.

Dershowitz rightly concluded: “So we have to distinguish true accusations from false accusations.”

In a powerful move responding to grassroots pressure from the MAGA base, President Trump took action. Writing on his Truth Social platform, he announced that he had directed the Justice Department to release all possible information related to Epstein.

“I have asked the Justice Department to release all Grand Jury testimony with respect to Jeffrey Epstein, subject only to Court Approval. With that being said, and even if the Court gave its full and unwavering approval, nothing will be good enough for the troublemakers and radical left lunatics making the request. It will always be more, more, more. MAGA!” Trump wrote.

His leadership on this issue marks another moment where Trump breaks with political tradition, favoring full disclosure and truth over secrecy and political gamesmanship. While other political figures, including Democrats and international elites, remain under scrutiny, Trump continues to stand firm in his commitment to transparency and justice.
