What was Jeffrey Epstein’s little black book?
ON December 29, 2021 Ghislaine Maxwell was found guilty of 5 out of 6 counts in her sex trafficking trial.
As part of Maxwell's case, several entries of the infamous "Black Book" were referenced and released as exhibit under seal. However, these were viewed only by jurors and attorneys. But what is the book and what names are listed? Here's the latest.
What was Jeffrey Epstein's little black book?
Jeffery Epstein maintained a “little black book” with the names and contact information of prominent people, including President Donald Trump, Elizabeth Hurley and Michael Bloomberg.
The individuals listed in Epstein’s book have not been accused of or associated with any of Epstein’s crimes.
In 2020, the Miami Herald tried calling many listed in the book and said they received a “lot of throat clearing, vague answers”.
Some people apparently claimed they were in Epstein’s book because of their connection with Ghislaine Maxwell.
Unredacted versions of the 92-page book have appeared online after it was reportedly leaked in 2015 by Gawker, which claimed it was found in court documents.
The Sun has previously compiled a list of which big names flew on Epstein's private jet, "the Lolita Express."

Campbell said: "What he’s done is indefensible. When I heard what he had done, it sickened me to my stomach, just like everybody else, because I’ve had my fair share of sexual predators and thank God I had good people around who protected me from this."
