“I Called Everyone in Jeffrey Epstein’s Little Black Book…”

That’s an article written by Leland Nally for Mother Jones and it’s all about what he learned making almost 2,000 calls to everyone in Epstein’s infamous address book.

But the internet wants names, and here is the thing: Names are not actually that hard to find.

This little black book listing Epstein’s associates and contact information–a literal phone book–has been circulating in the media and courts for years. (We reported this back in 2020!)

So here are some brief and big takeaways:

🚨It’s long. It’s 97 pages, over 1500 names, and about 5,000 phone numbers.”

🚨It’s cryptic. There are stars next to certain entries, arrows pointing toward others, and the names of at least 38 people are circled—including Donald J. Trump.

🚨Many conversations were with obscure and relatively normal characters you’d keep in an address book: a car cleaner and a salon worker—who had a shared distaste for Epstein in his circle.

But that’s not all.

Watch for the full breakdown.
