The identities of more than 170 Jeffrey Epstein associates, likely including former President Bill Clinton and the disgraced Prince Andrew, are scheduled to begin being published in court documents to be unsealed Wednesday, officials confirmed.
“The opening should begin today,” Manhattan Federal District Court Executive Edward Friedland confirmed to the Post on Wednesday.
The long-awaited revelation is part of a since-resolved 2015 defamation case that accuser Virginia Giuffre, also known as Virginia Roberts, brought against Ms. Epstein and convicted sex trafficker Ghislaine Maxwell.

Manhattan federal Judge Loretta Preska said in December that the names of about 177 people would begin to emerge in Giuffre’s case in the new year.
Clinton is expected to appear more than 50 times in court documents, although she is not accused of any crime.

Two women named to be unmasked from Epstein’s list asked the judge to keep their identities anonymous.

Epstein, 66, hanged himself in 2019 while locked in a lower Manhattan cell awaiting trial on sex trafficking charges.
The businessman and hedge fund manager left behind a fortune of $634 million. Much of that money was paid to his victims through a compensation fund in the years after his death.
