Over the past week, thousands of pages of court documents in a Jeffrey Epstein-linked lawsuit have been unsealed. The documents identify about 170 people whose names have come up in a legal battle between Virginia Giuffre, one of his accusers, and Ghislaine Maxwell, his former girlfriend who in 2021 was convicted of trafficking girls to him for sex.
Those roughly 170 Epstein associates had names under seal for different reasons some were his wealthy friends, some were his victims, and some were people whose names were merely mentioned in passing. They were identified as a "J. Doe" in arguments over whether their names should be made public or remain redacted.
Donald Trump is one of them. But until now, it wasn't clear which of the nearly 200 Does as enumerated by US District Judge Loretta Preska in a 50-page list he actually was. An exhaustive review of the documents by Business Insider points to one no-longer-anonymous Doe who checks all the boxes: Doe 174.
In deciding whether to make the names on the list public, Preska weighed any privacy rights the Does might have against the public's right to access judicial documents. The newly unsealed documents include new excerpts of deposition transcripts and other legal filings where Trump's name is now revealed. Preska's list identifies Doe 174 as a person whose "association with Epstein and Maxwell has been widely reported in the media already, and his or her name came up during Maxwell's public criminal trial."
