A New Year’s surprise awaits dozens of high-profile associates of Jeffrey Epstein as they are slated to be revealed in court documents during the initial days of 2024.
The pending release will identify over 170 individuals linked to Jeffrey Epstein and indicate the inclusion of some of the world’s most “known and notable” figures, including multiple former U.S. presidents.
Referring to them as “some of Jeffrey Epstein’s closest friends,” NewsNation correspondent Dray Clark suggested that the January 1st unsealing of 177 names tied to Epstein in a civil lawsuit will substantiate the long-standing associations with the notorious sex offender.
Microsoft co-founder Bill Gates and former President Bill Clinton are anticipated to be among those named. Those listed will have a 14-day period to appeal for their privacy to be maintained.
“Many of those names that will come out certainly are known and notable including former U.S. presidents, but they are now all part of a civil lawsuit against Ghislaine Maxwell brought by Virginia Giuffre,” Clark said. Virginia Giuffre, now Virginia Roberts, accused Maxwell of aiding Jeffrey Epstein in abusing and trafficking her.
“Meanwhile, at least 11 names will not be released, including eight people who have been identified as minor victims of sexual abuse,” Clark added.

The Daily Mail seems to have already identified several individuals linked to Epstein.
Judge Loretta Preska wrote ‘unsealed in full’ next to the names of 177 Does who are Epstein’s friends, recruiters, victims and others whose names will be revealed when the material is released within the coming weeks.
The material is related to a defamation case brought by Prince Andrew’s accuser Virginia Roberts in New York against Epstein’s madam Ghislaine Maxwell.
Roberts sued Maxwell for defamation in 2016 and while the case was settled, media outlets filed in order to have the documents made public.
Some of the Does are identified in the ruling through links to interviews they have given to the media, which the judge cited as a reason why they should not stay private.
They include the housekeepers on Epstein’s private island in the Caribbean where some of the worst abuse that he perpetrated was carried out.
In her ruling Judge Preska gave 14 days for any Does who objected to their documents being made public to object, after which they would be unsealed.
The Daily Mail report includes several names of caretakers and associates of Epstain.
