pWotD Episode 3124: Jeffrey Epstein client list Welcome to popular Wiki of the Day, spotlighting Wikipedia's most visited pages, giving you a peek into what the world is curious about today. With 218,609 views on Thursday, 20 November 2025 our article of the day is Jeffrey Epstein client list. The Epstein list is a hypothesized document containing the names of high-profile clients to whom the American financier and convicted child sex offender Jeffrey Epstein trafficked young girls, part of the wider body of documents known as the Epstein files. Epstein cultivated a social circle of public figures that included politicians and celebrities, fueling claims suggesting that he maintained such a list to blackmail these associates—and that his 2019 death was not a suicide (as officially reported) but a murder to protect his clients. Claims surrounding the existence of a client list first surfaced in the immediate aftermath of Epstein's death, later reaching heightened prominence in 2025 following a now-deleted tweet from former White House senior advisor and Department of Government Efficiency associate Elon Musk alleging that United States president Donald Trump was among the names listed. During his 2024 presidential campaign, Trump floated the idea of releasing the Epstein files, though he has since said that they are simply fabrications by members of the Democratic Party. The Trump administration's United States Justice Department (DOJ) released a memo on July 7, 2025, which stated the list did not exist and "no credible evidence [was] found that Epstein blackmailed prominent individuals as part of his actions. We did not uncover evidence that could predicate an investigation against uncharged third parties." The memo was met with skepticism from political commentators across the political spectrum, such as Alex Jones and John Oliver. In November 2025, Democrats on the House Oversight Committee released a set of emails involving Epstein in which he wrote, "[The] dog that hasn't barked is Trump," and mentioned that Trump had "spent hours" with one of the victims. On November 18, 2025, the House of Representatives passed the Epstein Files Transparency Act in a 427-1 vote. The Senate would unanimously approve the bill the same day, thus sending it to Trump's desk the next morning. Trump signed the bill on the 19th, officially requiring the DOJ to release the files within 30 days. This recording reflects the Wikipedia text as of 02:58 UTC on Friday, 21 November 2025.
