The U.S. Department of Justice is set to unveil the personal contact directory of convicted sex offender Jeffrey Epstein this Thursday.
An insider familiar with the documents revealed that the disclosure will encompass over 100 pages, featuring a roster of names but lacking additional details. Notably, a list of clients is absent from this initial release.
The documents have been organized into binders, with the process being labeled as “phase one” of the release of the Epstein files, a source disclosed to The New York Post. Before the expected release in the afternoon, copies of the binder were shared among staff in the West Wing.
The source expressed that the reveal might not meet the expectations of those hoping for groundbreaking new insights into Epstein’s relationships with high-profile figures in politics and business, describing the upcoming release as likely “disappointing” for those looking for significant revelations.
The name on the binder hints at further releases of Epstein documents, but whether Attorney General Pam Bondi will follow through remains uncertain.
Epstein, the disgraced financier and convicted sex offender, was accused of running a vast network of sex trafficking involving underage girls. The documents, released in multiple batches over the years, contain depositions, testimonies, and other legal records that shed light on Epstein’s connections to powerful figures in politics, business, and entertainment.
The files have fueled ongoing speculation about the extent of Epstein’s operations and the potential involvement of high-profile individuals. While some names have been redacted or remain unproven in any wrongdoing, the revelations have added to public distrust in elite circles and intensified scrutiny over how Epstein was able to evade justice for so long.
On Tuesday White House counselor Alina Habba hinted that the long-anticipated release of the Epstein’s client list was expected to take place soon. “I believe it will be today,” Habba told Piers Morgan.
“I was just with, I saw Pam [Bondi] and Kash [Patel] in the White House just before coming on your show. I can tell you that I haven’t been privy to it yet, but I know it is coming out.”
“We have flight logs, we have information, names that will come out,” she confirmed.

This comes after U.S. Attorney General Bondi announced Wednesday that the files were set to be released imminently. Bondi, under pressure to disclose the documents, stated last week that the files were already on her desk, awaiting final review.
President Trump, who signed an executive order authorizing the release of the Epstein files, has long vowed to make Epstein’s full client list public.
Along with these documents, the executive order also authorized the release of files relating to the assassinations of John F. Kennedy and Martin Luther King Jr., as well as classified information regarding the September 11 attacks and the origins of COVID-19.
Trump has distanced himself from Epstein since the financier’s arrest and subsequent death in 2019. Epstein, who owned a private island in the U.S. Virgin Islands where underage girls were trafficked, died under suspicious circumstances in a Manhattan federal prison. The official cause of death was ruled a suicide, but many have speculated that Epstein was silenced to protect high-profile individuals.
