The Epstein case continues to resurface despite years of secrecy and hidden files. In a resurfaced interview with Sean Spicer, attorney Alan Dershowitz—who once represented Epstein—said he knows who is on the secret client list. According to him, a confidentiality order prevents disclosure and helps protect the powerful.

Dershowitz argued the secrecy isn’t about helping victims but shielding elites. “It’s about protecting reputations, not seeking justice,” he said, suggesting that many names on the list belong to influential people with much to lose.

The controversy grew when the Biden administration retreated from its earlier pledge to declassify Epstein-related files. The Department of Justice released a vague memo saying there’s “nothing more to see,” which fueled criticism from transparency advocates.

Critics reject the DOJ’s explanation and insist the public deserves full clarity, especially if powerful individuals were involved in criminal activity. Many believe the case was never thoroughly investigated and that essential information remains hidden.

Dershowitz has faced allegations connected to the Epstein saga, which he denies. But his new comments suggest deeper, undisclosed layers in a case that already shook global elites. The revived interview has intensified calls for an independent investigation into Epstein’s network, clients, and enablers. Until then, the case continues to symbolize how influence can shape justice—and how far some may go to keep the truth buried.
