A veteran Miami Herald reporter who helped expose the Jeffrey Epstein scandal has dropped a bombshell, claiming the Department of Justice has been lying about the existence of an FBI list of 11 men suspected of possible wrongdoing related to Epstein's crimes. According to the reporter, former President Donald Trump is among the names on that list.

Why it matters

The Epstein case has long been shrouded in secrecy, with many powerful individuals rumored to be connected to his sex trafficking operation. This report, if true, could have major implications, potentially implicating Trump and other high-profile figures in the scandal.

The details

According to the report, the FBI had compiled a 21-page presentation summarizing evidence and allegations against 11 men, including Trump, former President Bill Clinton, Harvey Weinstein, and others. This list was apparently kept secret by the DOJ, contradicting their previous statements that no such list existed.

  • The Miami Herald report was published on February 7, 2026.

What they’re saying

“Contrary to what the FBI and DOJ have said over the past year, it turns out there really is an FBI list of other people suspected of possible wrongdoing in connection with Jeffrey Epstein. President Trump, who has denied any involvement with Epstein's crimes, is on that list, as well as a number of other powerful people.”

What’s next

The Department of Justice has not yet commented on the existence of the alleged FBI list of Epstein suspects. It remains to be seen whether this report will prompt further investigations or legal action.

The takeaway

This bombshell report raises serious questions about the transparency and accountability of the government's handling of the Epstein case, and could potentially implicate some of the most powerful individuals in the country in the disgraced financier's crimes.
