Harvard Law professor Alan Dershowitz claimed he’s seen Jeffrey Epstein’s full client list — but said confidentiality rules prevent him from naming names in a March 19 interview.
The resurfaced clip from “The Sean Spicer Show” has fueled new scrutiny of Epstein’s alleged connections, even as newly released FBI and Justice Department memos say no list exists and rule out foul play in his 2019 death.
“But I’m bound by confidentiality — from a judge and cases — and I can’t disclose what I know,” Dershowitz said. “Hand to God, I know the names of the people whose files are being suppressed in order to protect them, and that’s wrong.”
Dershowitz alleged that key documents in the Epstein case are being “deliberately, willfully suppressed” to protect certain individuals. He claimed to know both the names and the officials suppressing the information.
Pressed by Spicer on whether those individuals were politicians or business leaders, Dershowitz replied, “They’re everything.” He went on to argue that some alleged victims named in the files may themselves have been perpetrators, accusing judges of shielding false accusers from scrutiny.
“If the accusation is allowed out, so should the material that diminishes the credibility of the accuser,” he said, reiterating his call for “total transparency” with no redactions. Dershowitz added that he has waived any privacy rights over his own records, insisting, “I know I haven’t touched a woman other than my wife from the day I met Jeffrey Epstein.”

“Remember I was accused falsely and ultimately I was completely cleared,” Dershowitz replied.
Virginia Giuffre, who was trafficked by Epstein as a minor, publicly accused Dershowitz in 2014 of having sex with her when she was underage. She later sued him for defamation, and Dershowitz countersued.
Both lawsuits were resolved in 2022 with no damages paid by either side. Giuffre acknowledged she may have “made a mistake” in identifying Dershowitz as one of her abusers in a joint statement filed in court.
“I have long believed that I was trafficked by Jeffrey Epstein to Alan Dershowitz. However, I was very young at the time, it was a very stressful and traumatic environment,” Giuffre said. “I now recognize I may have made a mistake in identifying Mr. Dershowitz.”

Giuffre’s statement marked the end of a yearslong legal battle and became a centerpiece of Dershowitz’s public defense.
“Ultimately I was completely cleared — the woman admitted that she may have mistook me for somebody else and withdrew all of her lawsuits,” Dershowitz told Spicer. “And so, from day one, from the day I was accused, I said I want every document out because I knew every document would prove I was innocent.”
In 2024, Dershowitz applauded the unsealing of Epstein court records in Florida, saying they “will prove categorically” that Giuffre’s allegations against him were false.
Giuffre, one of Epstein’s most prominent accusers, had previously settled a lawsuit against Prince Andrew over claims he raped her as a teenager. The settlement included no admission of wrongdoing.
Giuffre died by suicide on April 11 at age 41, her family said.
