'I know the names': Former Trump advisor accuses him of suppressing key Epstein documents

New movie in the works? Reversal of Trump-tion?

https://www.alternet.org/alan-dershowitz-trump-epstein/

By Ailia ZehraJuly 10, 2025

Alan Dershowitz, a former Constitutional advisor to President Donald Trump, alleged in a bombshell disclosure that key documents tied to convicted pedophile Jeffrey Epstein are being withheld — not to protect victims, but to shield powerful figures.

“I know for a fact [Epstein] documents are being suppressed and they're being suppressed to protect individuals. I know the names of the individuals, I know why they're being suppressed," he said on the Sean Spicer Show in a newly resurfaced interview that originally aired in March of this year.

Dershowitz continued: "I know who's suppressing them, but I'm bound by confidentiality from a judge and cases, and I can't disclose what I know."

"But, hand to God, I know the names of people whose files are being suppressed in order to protect them, and that's wrong," he added.



So will it be Sgt. Schultz?



Or Nurse Diesel?

Maybe not.

Money, or sacred oath?
I say money.

He says there was a big conspiracy to frame and soak rich people who knew Epstein (not 'clients') for millions, including himself, but Giuffre is 'protected' because she's a victim so he can't expose what liars and extortionists she and Boies were/are.

I'm not kidding. Don't think for a second that Dersh is 'on our side' from this blurb. Also note interview is from March, so not new, AND he's been on a similar rant for years.

I am sure he's just setting up for tbe next novel and movie. Profits, not prophets. It's the age of scumballs, but then again, what age wasn't?

There are enough stories for hundreds of books and movies. From my ridge, I get to see vultures gliding. Vulture Peak, so to speak. ☸️
