Alan Dershowitz, a former Constitutional advisor to President Donald Trump, alleged in a bombshell disclosure that key documents tied to convicted pedophile Jeffrey Epstein are being withheld, not to protect victims, but to shield powerful figures.
“I know for a fact [Epstein] documents are being suppressed and they're being suppressed to protect individuals. I know the names of the individuals, I know why they're being suppressed," he said on the Sean Spicer Show in a newly resurfaced interview that originally aired in March of this year.
Dershowitz continued: "I know who's suppressing them, but I'm bound by confidentiality from a judge and cases, and I can't disclose what I know."
"But, hand to God, I know the names of people whose files are being suppressed in order to protect them, and that's wrong," he added.
Dershowitz was instrumental in negotiating Epstein’s highly criticized 2008 plea deal, which granted Epstein broad immunity from federal prosecution in exchange for a guilty plea on state-level prostitution charges.
He was also a member of Trump’s legal team during his first impeachment trial in the U.S. Senate in early 2020. Though once a liberal Democrat and outspoken critic — at one point in 2016 labeling Trump “more corrupt than Hillary Clinton” — Dershowitz shifted by January 2020 to a formal position focused exclusively on legal arguments.
Trump recruited him personally during a Christmas Eve conversation at Mar‑a‑Lago, and Dershowitz agreed to join on the basis that he would act independently and focus solely on constitutional interpretation — not trial strategy or fact-finding.
Meanwhile, Rep. Marjorie Taylor Greene (R-Ga.) reacted to Dershowitz remarks Thursday and wrote on the social platform X: "RELEASE THE EPSTEIN CLIENT LIST!!!!"
Political analyst Dominic Tripi wrote: "The names, the concealed documents, who’s being protected, all of that is available. It’s a pure coverup, they think if you find out the truth it will thoroughly destroy the legitimacy of governing institutions."
