Piers Morgan's name appears 29 times in the recently released Epstein Files, a trove of over 3 million pages of documents related to the investigations and prosecutions of convicted sex offender Jeffrey Epstein and his accomplice Ghislaine Maxwell. However, the files do not suggest that Morgan was involved in any of Epstein's crimes. The mentions of Morgan's name are in the context of other people discussing or referencing him, such as in emails between Epstein and his associates.

Why it matters

The release of the Epstein Files has shed light on the extensive network of powerful individuals connected to Epstein and Maxwell's sex trafficking operation. While Morgan's name appears in the documents, the lack of any allegations of wrongdoing against him underscores that not everyone mentioned was directly involved in the crimes. This case highlights the need to carefully examine the context and details around individuals named in high-profile investigations.

The details

The Epstein Files contain several emails and communications that reference Piers Morgan, but do not accuse him of any involvement in Epstein's crimes. In one email, a publicist mentioned that Morgan would be attending an event hosted by the Hollywood Reporter. In another, a journalist suggested Morgan as a potential option for Epstein to do a TV interview amid the Prince Andrew scandal. However, the most recent email from 2023 appears to definitively clear Morgan, listing his name as 'no hit' in an exchange between FBI agents.

  • The Epstein Files were recently released by the Department of Justice in February 2026 as part of the Epstein Files Transparency Act.
  • Piers Morgan was first informed that his name appeared in the Epstein Files during a taping of his YouTube show 'Uncensored' earlier this week.

“You are in it! You're in the Epstein Files, Piers!”

— Lady Victoria Hervey, Guest on Piers Morgan's show (Uncensored)

“The only connection I've ever had to either of them, as I've said many times, is I met Ghislaine Maxwell for five minutes at a book launch in New York. She was then asked about that in her lengthy testimony. And she said under oath that that was the only time she ever met me, and I never met Epstein or anything else.”
