Kevin Spacey urges full release of Epstein Files amid renewed public scrutiny
-Reuters.
Actor Kevin Spacey has publicly called for the full release of all documents related to Jeffrey Epstein, stating that those with “nothing to fear” should have no objection to the truth coming out.
His comments follow continued social media speculation after his name, along with other high-profile celebrities such as Leonardo DiCaprio and Cate Blanchett, appeared in unsealed Epstein-related court documents earlier this year. None of the individuals named were accused of involvement in Epstein’s crimes.
Release the Epstein files. All of them. For those of us with nothing to fear, the truth can’t come soon enough.
I hate to make this about me — but the media already has.“Release the Epstein files. All of them,” Spacey posted on X. “For those of us with nothing to fear, the truth can’t come soon enough. I hate to make this about me — but the media already has.”
The actor’s remarks come amid controversy sparked by recent statements from the U.S. Department of Justice and FBI, which claimed no “Epstein client list” exists and denied allegations that Epstein was murdered in jail. The announcement contradicted earlier comments from former Florida Attorney General Pam Bondi, who stated in February she had obtained the so-called Epstein files from the FBI, emphasizing the public’s right to know.
Spacey’s name appeared in unsealed documents from a 2015 defamation suit involving Epstein associate Ghislaine Maxwell. While the documents did not accuse him of any crimes, the release reignited public interest due to past sexual misconduct allegations against the Oscar-winning actor. Since 2017, Spacey has faced multiple accusations but has been cleared in several major legal cases, including a 2022 civil trial in New York and a 2023 criminal trial in the United Kingdom.
Kevin Spacey admits that there were young girls on the Jeffrey Epstein flights he was on and that he feared them being on the plane might damage Bill Clinton in the future.

In May, he was honoured with a lifetime achievement award at Cannes and likened his situation to that of blacklisted screenwriter Dalton Trumbo, urging Hollywood to show courage in supporting him.
The renewed call for transparency in the Epstein case has intensified public scrutiny, especially among Trump supporters frustrated by the lack of released evidence.
