The updated full list of the names mentioned in the Jeffrey Epstein files was handed down to the Congress. According to officials it includes “305 prominent figures,” including celebrities, politicians, and A-list stars. However, just being mentioned in the files doesn’t immediately suggest any wrongdoing or involvement in the Epstein crimes, officials say.
The fact that Golden Age actress Marilyn Monroe, who died decades before Epstein’s crimes, is on the list shows just how broad the archive’s references are.
One of the names that appears on the list is that of actress and The View host Whoopi Goldberg.
Following the release of the records, she decided to speak out and explain her mention in the files.
“In the name of transparency, my name is in the files, yes!” Goldberg, 70, shared on the Tuesday, February 17, episode of The View . “And what does it say? ‘Whoopi needs a plane to get to Monaco. John Lennon’s charity is paying for it.’ It should say Julian’s Charity ‘They don’t want to charter, so they are looking for private owners Here’s the info,’ and they give all the information and they are saying do you want to offer your G2?”
Joy Behar, co-host, asked, “So, basically anyone could end up on the list?” Goldberg then went on to explain that before any publications wrote of her alleged connections to Epstein, she wanted to make it clear that the two were not friends.
“I wasn’t his girlfriend. I wasn’t his friend,” she said. “I’m speaking about me because I’m getting dragged. People actually believe that I was with him. Honey, come on. Every man I’ve been with, you’ve known about him because either the Enquirer wrote about it. People wrote about this stuff.”
She also added that she has never been on a plane because she’s afraid of flying.
