RETRACTION: A previous version of this article contained a list of names purportedly listed on the Jeffrey Epstein flight logs. This was an error; the listed names were mentioned in court documents connected to alleged Epstein victim Virginia Giuffre's claim against Epstein associate Ghislaine Maxwell. Amongst those names from court documents is Jarred Weisfeld. Mr. Weisfeld is a literary agent. Court documents show that Mr. Weisfeld has been mentioned only in passing as being approached by Ms. Giuffre about the possibility of her publishing a book about her experiences. Newsweek is aware of no other connection between the Jeffrey Epstein scandal and Mr. Weisfeld, and the Epstein flight logs that have been released do not include Mr. Weisfeld. Newsweek regrets the error in its original publication.
Attorney General Pam Bondi has vowed to release names of people flown by convicted sex offender Jeffrey Epstein to his private island, on Thursday, February 27.
Why It Matters
In January 2024, a judge ordered the release of some names of people identified in court records connected with a lawsuit filed against Epstein's former girlfriend by an alleged trafficking victim. A full record of those who traveled with the deceased financier has never been released.

What To Know
Epstein was known to entertain famous people on his island, Little St. James, in the U.S Virgin Islands. He would often fly people to the island on his private jet, leaving a written record of who travelled there.
Financier Epstein, who was accused of preying on underage girls as young as 14, took his own life at the age of 66 in a jail cell at New York's Metropolitan Correctional Center in August 2019, before he could stand trial in Manhattan on sex-trafficking charges. Authorities determined he hanged himself. He always denied any wrongdoing.
At the time, he was already a convicted sex offender after being found guilty by a Florida state court in 2008 of one count of soliciting prostitution and one count of soliciting prostitution from a minor.
Ninety names were unsealed in January 2024 from a lawsuit filed by Virginia Giuffre, an alleged trafficking victim, against British socialite Ghislaine Maxwell, Epstein's former girlfriend. Maxwell, 61, is serving a 20-year prison sentence after she was convicted in December 2021 of helping Epstein recruit and sexually abuse underage girls.
Names appearing on the unsealed list are not an Epstein "client list" or a list of those who were on his flights. Many of those whose names appear in the documents aren't accused of wrongdoing.
New York federal judge Loretta Preska had found no legal justification for continuing to withhold the names and ordered their release.
The names include presidents Bill Clinton and Donald Trump, who strenuously deny any wrongdoing. Four of the names released were redacted because they are the name of alleged victims who travelled on Epstein's private jet.
The names include:
- Ghislaine Maxwell
- Virginia Lee Roberts Giuffre [Epstein victim]

What People Are Saying
On February 26, Attorney General Pam Bondi told Fox News' Jesse Watters that her office would release the full flight log list as soon as they had redacted the names of alleged victims.
"We have to make sure that their identity is protected and their personal information," she said. "Other than that, I think tomorrow, Jesse, breaking news right now, you're going to see some Epstein information being released by my office."
What Happens Next
Bondi's office will release the list on Thursday, but inclusion on the list is not an indication of any wrongdoing.
Lawsuits against Maxwell and others are continuing before the civil courts.
Correction 02/28/2025 at 5:18 p.m. ET. This article has been corrected to remove any suggestion that names released so far are from flight logs rather than being the names of people identified in court records connected with a lawsuit filed against Epstein's former girlfriend by an alleged trafficking victim.
