Since the Epstein files started being released in December 2025, countless well-known names have come under scrutiny.

Now, an alphabetical list shown in a letter reveals all 300 public figures that have been named in the documents released by the US Justice Department to date.

Pamela Bondi, the US Attorney General, announced that all the files, including millions of photos, emails and letters have been made public.

She put out a list of names, including celebrities even if they were only mentioned once.

The famous figures include Beyonce, Cher, George Clooney, Alec Baldwin, Jay Z, Mick Jagger, Pope John Paull II, Diana Ross, Mike Pence and Ben Shapiro.

Ms Bondi explained that the names appeared in the files in a “wide variety of contexts”.

Some people at direct email contact with convicted paedophile Jeffrey Epstein or his co-conspirator Ghislaine Maxwell, while others were simply referenced in the documents, or in news articles included in the files.

The list includes many politicians, both from the US and elsewhere. Donald Trump is included alongside vice president JD Vance and secretary of state Marco Rubio.

Former president Barack Obama appears alongside Michelle, with Bill and Hillary Clinton also included.

Key royal figures were also listed, including Prince Harry and Meghan, Queen Elizabeth II and of course Andrew Mountbatten-Windsor.

Media mogul Rupert Murdoch was among the business figures in the letter alongside names like Mark Zuckerberg and Paolo Zampoli.

Ms Bondi’s letter says that no files were kept from the public to protect any personal sensitivities.

“No records were withheld or redacted ‘on the basis of embarrassment, reputational harm, or political sensitivity, including to any government official, public figure, or foreign dignitary’.”

The files have been released in accordance with the Epstein Files Transparency Act which was passed by congress in 2025 and signed by Mr Trump on November 19 that year.

According to the act, files may only be redacted in order to protect victims’ identities, details of ongoing investigations and child sexual abuse materials, The Mirror reported.

Ms Bondi’s letter stated that any omissions from the list are “unintentional” and a result of the “volume and speed with which the Department complied with the Act”.

“Individuals whose names were redacted for law-enforcement sensitive purposes are not included.”
