A federal judge has ordered Jeffrey Epstein’s “client list” to be made public by unsealing dozens of documents exposing the names of 180 powerful people linked to the disgraced late financier.
The documents are expected to identify the previously redacted names of more than 180 people tied to Epstein’s sex trafficking operation in some way.
The redacted names include associates, victims, investigators, and journalists who covered the case.

Some of the names will remain under seal, however, including those belonging to minor victims who never spoke publicly about the case.
Another name to remain sealed is a person who the judge said was wrongly identified as an alleged perpetrator by a reporter.
At least one person asked the court not to release her name, arguing that it could put her at risk of physical harm.
However, those linked to Epstein’s sex trafficking operation should finally be named in the documents.
U.S. District Judge Loretta Preska outlined the reasoning in a 51-page order Monday.
The order comes as part of a 2015 lawsuit between Epstein accuser Virginia Roberts Giuffre and the dead pedophile’s former lover and accomplice, Ghislaine Maxwell.
The case was settled in 2017.
However, the judge indicated in hearings in 2021 and 2022 that the names would not remain sealed indefinitely.
Giuffre, who is now in her 30s, has alleged that Epstein and Maxwell trafficked her when she was 17 years old.
She alleged that she was trafficked by Epstein to powerful elites and raped.
