The U.S. Department of Justice released a video recorded during a 2009 FBI sting operation. The footage showed Jeffrey Epstein’s former butler Alfredo Rodriguez trying to sell the convicted sex financier’s “little black book” to an undercover FBI agent.
The Telegraph reported that Rodriguez said the recording contained “addresses of victims and clients” and called Epstein’s convicted partner Ghislaine Maxwell a “very influential British woman.” Rodriguez is seeking up to $50,000 for the book, which includes an extensive list of names of prominent figures in politics, business and entertainment.
The book, published in the 1990s and compiled primarily by Maxwell, contains hundreds of entries, including multiple phone numbers and addresses, copies of which have been made available to the public in recent years.
Shocked by Epstein’s inner circle
This unreleased version offers a glimpse into the late financier’s inner circle in the late 1990s, revealing the extent to which some of the world’s elite were connected to Epstein long before his criminal activities became public.
The book includes prominent figures such as Presidents Bill Clinton and Donald Trump, Prince Andrew, Naomi Campbell and Tony Blair, but the repeated appearances of these names do not necessarily imply direct involvement in the crimes, but often reflect social or professional relationships with Epstein before the scandal was exposed.
Notable people on Epstein’s list
The book features prominent figures in finance, entertainment, and politics, including: Investor Carl Icahn, businessman John Castimatidis, actress Morgan Fairchild, Woody Johnson’s wife Susan Asha, former auto executive Stephen Ratner, and former New Republic owner Martin Peretz. The entries also provide addresses and phone numbers for properties owned by Epstein or his associates, and map out the social networks he operated.
The new video revelations come in the context of the continued release of the Epstein Files, which contain millions of pages of documents since 2025, and have brought the issue to the forefront of public debate, raising questions about the comprehensiveness of the investigation so far and why more actors have not been held accountable.
The Ministry of Justice confirmed that these materials are part of ongoing transparency efforts, but observers believe such leaks put pressure on the aforementioned figures to reveal or deny any real link to the crime.
