Can we PLEASE have some clarity on what the Epstein "List" is referring to? [View all]

I'm still seeing politicos calling for the release of the "List" when in fact they should be calling for the release of the complete files with documentation (redacting only the victims' information).

If the FBI has compiled its own list of persons of interest, then that's a separate matter, but when Bondi said she had the "List" sitting on her desk it was likely referring to Epstein's contact list which she has already released in February, along with flight logs and other information:

Others have called this Epstein's little black book, but if you scour the internet, you will find an unredacted version that can be downloaded as part of a national security archive. (I won't link to it because it contains addresses and phone numbers.) Bondi and Trump don't want to draw attention to this because Blaine and Robert Trump (Donald's deceased brother) are listed above the address for "Trump Management Inc." in the unredacted version.
