Dershowitz: It’s Not Trump Admin. Hiding the Epstein Files — It’s the Judges

Cuomo: “Is the government hiding a client list or anything that the Trump Administration could release tonight?”
DERSHOWITZ: “No, there’s no client list and never has been a client list. A client list suggests that Jeffrey Epstein made a list of people to whom he trafficked women. What there is, is a redacted FBI affidavit from accusers. There are several of them from accusers that accuse Jeffrey — that accuse various people of having improper sex, and that has been redacted, the names of the people accuse have been blacked out. Now, of course, because I was lawyer and I did all the investigations, I know who all these people are. I could figure out, based on everything that I saw, who Mr.X is, Mr. Y is, and Mr. Z. I can tell you right now: None of them are public figures who are currently in office. Some of them were previously in office. Some of them are dead. But there is no client list. And the redactions could be undone if you go to court. So, many of the things that are being suppressed are being suppressed by two judges in Manhattan, and they’re doing it largely to protect the alleged accusers who are, in the view of the judges, victims, even though we don’t know what their actual status is. But the judges have issued orders, which is why I can’t disclose things I’d love to disclose, saying that you can’t disclose this information. But Pam Bondi and the Justice Department and Donald Trump are not responsible for that. I don’t know of any information that they could disclose that they haven’t disclosed. Now maybe there is some, but I’m simply not aware of it. And so I think it’s important to place the blame where the blame deserves to be placed. The vast majority of people who are in the files — and I I know them all, I’ve seen all the names — the vast, vast majority of them have already been disclosed. They’re in articles all over the world. They’re in books that have been written. So if we got everything, everything, you would be shocked how few names are there that haven’t already been disclosed. The media hasn’t, by the way, done a good enough job in finding the people who have been disclosed in the public record. So that’s that list.”
