In February 2026, the Department of Justice released over 3 million documents related to Jeffrey Epstein, unveiling 15 new names officially tied to the disgraced financier.

These federal records include emails, flight logs, FBI reports, and photographs—some connections are minor, but others are deeply unsettling. Here’s a breakdown of what the files actually say about each name and their responses.

What's in the new batch of Epstein files : NPR

**1. Ellen DeGeneres**

Ellen’s name appeared in the index, alongside hundreds of public figures. No evidence links her to Epstein’s jet or properties; the flight log circulating online was fabricated. Social media rumors went as far as labeling her a “cannibal,” but the DOJ files contain nothing incriminating.

**2. Naomi Campbell**

Campbell’s name shows up nearly 300 times across emails, flight logs, and FBI transcripts. She remained in contact with Epstein until 2016, invited him to high-profile events, and requested use of his jet. FBI interviews suggest Epstein used her name to lure young women. Campbell denies wrongdoing, saying she was unaware of Epstein’s crimes until his 2019 arrest.

**3. Bill Clinton**

Clinton flew on Epstein’s jet at least 17 times between 2001 and 2003, visiting locations like Thailand and Russia. Newly released photos show him at Epstein properties with Ghislaine Maxwell and other celebrities. Clinton maintains all flights were foundation-related and denies knowledge of Epstein’s crimes.

**4. Pope John Paul II**

A photograph shows Epstein and Maxwell meeting the Pope at a public Vatican audience in 2003. No evidence suggests a personal relationship or knowledge of Epstein’s activities. An email claiming Epstein lived with the Pope was debunked.

**5. Stephen Hawking**

Hawking’s name appears 232 times, mostly in connection with scientific conferences funded by Epstein. He visited Epstein’s island in 2006 for a barbecue and submarine tour, but no evidence links him to illegal activity. Epstein tried to quash rumors about Hawking’s involvement.

**6. Kevin Spacey**

Spacey’s connection centers on a 2002 humanitarian trip to Africa aboard Epstein’s jet, alongside Clinton and Chris Tucker. Spacey noted suspicious behavior and young girls on the flight, but claims no ongoing relationship with Epstein.

**7. Chris Tucker**

Tucker’s involvement is limited to the same Africa trip. Flight logs show no evidence he visited Epstein’s island. Tucker insists he had no contact with Epstein beyond that journey.

**8. Elon Musk**

Musk’s emails show repeated contact with Epstein, including discussions about island visits and business ventures. Musk denies ever visiting the island, calling himself naïve for entertaining Epstein’s pitches.

**9. Leonardo DiCaprio**

DiCaprio’s name appears in emails where others inquire about endorsements or dinner invitations. No evidence suggests he met or communicated with Epstein.

**10. Alan Dershowitz**

Epstein’s lawyer, Dershowitz, negotiated Epstein’s controversial 2008 plea deal. He’s named in the files for legal work and faces civil allegations, which he denies.

**11. Jon Stewart**

Stewart’s name appears in brainstorming emails about a Woody Allen project. He’s never met Epstein, and his name is mostly linked to saved Daily Show clips.

**12. Peter Attia**

Attia, a longevity doctor, exchanged emails with Epstein, including tasteless jokes and references to visits that never happened. He denies witnessing illegal activity.

**13. Whoopi Goldberg**

Goldberg’s name appears in a request to borrow Epstein’s jet for a charity event, which Epstein declined. She denies any personal relationship.

**14. Joe Rogan**

Epstein sought an introduction to Rogan, but Rogan never replied or met him.

**15. Prince Andrew & Sarah Ferguson**

Andrew’s connection is well-documented, with photos at Epstein’s mansion and emails suggesting he shared sensitive government information. Ferguson called Epstein her “brother,” borrowed money, and allegedly sought a job from him.
