New Jeffrey Epstein contact list released, includes RFK Jr.’s mom, Mick Jagger, Alec Baldwin and Courtney Love
The DOJ has given a group of conservative influencers access to Jeffrey Epstein-related files, excluding his “client list”.
On Thursday, the Justice Department released a new set of Jeffrey Epstein files, following Attorney General Pam Bondi's promise to make the documents public.
However, the list, which spans over 100 pages, wasn't the disgraced financier’s “client list”, just his contact list. It included Rolling Stones frontman Mick Jagger, pop star Michael Jackson, actor Alec Baldwin, Ethel Kennedy (mother of Robert F. Kennedy Jr.), supermodel Naomi Campbell, and other musicians Courtney Love.
“This Department of Justice is following through on President Trump’s commitment to transparency and lifting the veil on the disgusting actions of Jeffrey Epstein and his co-conspirators,” Bondi stated in an official statement.

“The first phase of files released today sheds light on Epstein’s extensive network and begins to provide the public with long overdue accountability.”
New Epstein files reveal nothing big
The release also includes logs from Epstein’s infamous private jet, ‘Lolita Express.’ These records had been previously made public in a redacted form. However, some portions of the latest documents remain fully censored, particularly sections containing the names of Epstein’s victims.
Two prior versions of Epstein’s “little black book” had already been made public. It first appeared in a 2009 court case and was widely circulated by the now-defunct media site Gawker in 2015. Dating back to 2004-2005, the book had the names of a bunch of big people, such as former New York City Mayor Michael Bloomberg, British royal Prince Andrew, former New York Governor Andrew Cuomo, musician Jimmy Buffett, industrialist David Koch, and former U.S. Secretary of State Henry Kissinger.
A later version, containing contacts from the 1990s, was discovered years after the first book’s publication. That edition, which listed 349 names, included 221 individuals not present in the previously released 2015 records.

President Donald Trump, billionaire investor Carl Icahn, businessman John Catsimatidis, and Suzanne Ircha, co-owner of the New York Jets and a close friend of Melania Trump, were named in that document.
