“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,” he added.
Among those named by Dershowitz were two powerful Democrats: George Mitchell, former Senate Majority Leader, and Bill Richardson, the former New Mexico governor and UN ambassador. He also identified former Israeli Prime Minister Ehud Barak as someone whose name came up in the documents.
But Dershowitz was quick to caution that accusations don’t equal guilt.
“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 said.
Dershowitz’s own name has been tied to the Epstein scandal in the past. Virginia Giuffre, a central accuser in the case, once claimed Dershowitz was involved in Epstein’s network. Dershowitz fought back fiercely and sued for defamation. In 2022, Giuffre dropped the lawsuit and issued a public statement walking back her claims.
She said she “may have made a mistake.”
The former professor also brought up another accuser, Sarah Ransome, who made wild allegations that ended up falling apart under scrutiny. Ransome had claimed she possessed video evidence implicating Bill and Hillary Clinton, Donald Trump, and billionaire Richard Branson.
“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,” Dershowitz said.
Even though Ransome eventually confessed she fabricated the story to bring attention to Epstein’s crimes, the court documents still exist, muddying the waters between fact and fiction.
“So we have to distinguish true accusations from false accusations,” Dershowitz cautioned, reminding viewers that those named have not been charged or found guilty of any wrongdoing.
Meanwhile, President Donald Trump is now taking action. He’s ordered Attorney General Pam Bondi to push for the release of all grand jury transcripts connected to Epstein — and to publish any “credible” materials that haven’t yet been revealed to the public.
With Trump now directly weighing in, pressure is mounting for full transparency.
This latest development adds more heat to an already simmering scandal that refuses to fade. As sealed files potentially point fingers at political elites, Dershowitz’s appearance has blown the lid off a story that still holds dark secrets — secrets that could shake the political world if brought to light.
