An interview in which one of Donald Trump‘s former lawyers claimed he knew the names of people on a so-called Jeffrey Epstein list has resurfaced.
Speaking on The Sean Spicer Show in March, Alan Dershowitz, a longtime criminal defense attorney, said he knew the names of individuals referenced in confidential Epstein files and claimed those names are being deliberately withheld.
On Thursday Spicer reshared the interview on X, formerly Twitter, in light of renewed interest in the case. It has racked up 1.5 million views at the time of writing.
Newsweek has contacted Dershowitz by email to comment on this story
Why It Matters
Trump’s administration ordered a review of the Epstein case and said it would publish names and evidence about associates of Epstein, a wealthy financier who died by suicide in his jail cell in August 2019, weeks after his arrest on sex trafficking charges. However, a memo by the Department of Justice and the F.B.I. now states there is no “client list,” and there will be no more charges. This has triggered a backlash among those who want transparency about Epstein.
What To Know
Dershowitz, who represented Epstein, said in March: “I know the names of the individuals. I know why they’re being suppressed. I know who’s suppressing them…But I’m bound by confidentiality from a judge and cases, and I can’t disclose what I know, but I, hand to God, I know. I know the names of people whose files are being suppressed in order to protect them, and that’s wrong.”
Dershowitz, emphasized that he has pushed for “total transparency” in the release of Epstein-related documents.
“Every single document, no redaction. That’s what I’ve said from day one,” Dershowitz said.
