(Web Desk): US Attorney General Pam Bondi has released a list of 305 politicians, celebrities and business leaders whose names appear in the new Epstein files.

US Attorney General Pam Bondi told Congress that all files connected to the late financier Jeffrey Epstein have been shared with the public, including millions of emails, photos and documents that mention 305 high-profile figures at least once.

The released list of Epstein files includes current and former presidents, lawmakers, entertainers, tech leaders and royalty, but the Justice Department stressed that being named does not mean someone committed a crime or was involved in Epstein’s activities.

Names range from US politicians to global celebrities and business elites. Some appeared because of direct communication, travel logs or media mentions connected to Epstein or his associate Ghislaine Maxwell. Others are included even if the reference was indirect or context-free.

The DOJ letter said no names were withheld due to embarrassment, reputational harm or political reasons, although some documents are still under litigation or redaction for legal privacy.

This list is huge and surprising because it includes figures from politics, business and entertainment, but experts remind readers that appearing in the files doesn’t prove guilt. Some were mentioned only once and in unrelated contexts, which means the list is as much about data and documentation as it is about public intrigue. More legal and investigative work may follow as people study what the mentions really mean.
