The Jeffrey Epstein case continues to stir controversy, and now Alan Dershowitz, Epstein’s former attorney, has broken his silence in an interview that reignited public interest. Dershowitz revealed that he is aware of the names on Epstein’s secret client list and understands why this information remains hidden. He explained that a judge’s confidentiality order protects the identities, a move he says prioritizes the reputations of powerful people over justice for the victims.
Dershowitz suggested many on the list are wealthy and influential individuals who risk scandal if their names were revealed. His remarks have fueled suspicions about the justice system shielding elites while leaving Epstein’s victims waiting for accountability. The Biden administration’s recent withdrawal from efforts to fully declassify Epstein files only deepens these concerns, with critics accusing officials of selective transparency and stonewalling.
Despite Dershowitz’s own controversial involvement, his claims highlight ongoing unanswered questions about the investigation’s depth and impartiality. Advocates now call for an independent, thorough inquiry that fully exposes Epstein’s network, including every name and connection. Without full disclosure, trust in the justice process remains fractured, and the perception that the powerful have different rules continues to anger the public.
