Who visited Epstein’s Island?
The question of who visited Jeffrey Epstein’s private island has taken on fresh urgency following the release of millions of pages of U.S. Department of Justice files in early 2026. Little St. James, the Caribbean property long associated with Epstein’s criminal activities, appears in flight manifests, boat logs, emails, and photographs that continue to surface new names and context. While presence on the island or in related records does not equate to knowledge of or participation in criminal conduct, the updated documents have expanded the known roster of visitors and clarified several high-profile associations.
Recent Document Releases Expand the Record
In January 2026 the Department of Justice made public more than three million pages of Epstein-related materials. These files include previously sealed flight manifests, boat logs, internal emails, and photographs that document travel to and from Little St. James between the early 2000s and 2019. The releases have allowed researchers to cross-reference earlier court exhibits with newer primary sources, producing a more detailed picture of who arrived on the island and when.
Tech and Business Figures with Confirmed Ties
Among the names newly highlighted or confirmed in the 2026 materials is Google co-founder Sergey Brin, whose island visits are referenced in released documents. Commerce Secretary Howard Lutnick and members of his family also visited for lunch in 2012; Lutnick acknowledged the trip during congressional testimony earlier this year, noting it contradicted his prior public statements about ending contact with Epstein in 2005. Hedge-fund executive Glenn Dubin and his wife Eva remain on the list of documented guests, as does former Victoria’s Secret head Les Wexner.
Modern Forensic Tracking Adds Precision
A 2024 WIRED investigation examined mobile-device location data from nearly two hundred visitors who traveled to Little St. James between 2016 and 2019. The analysis mapped precise movements to specific buildings and neighborhoods on the island, supplementing traditional flight logs with digital evidence of who was present and for how long. This technical layer has helped investigators distinguish brief stops from extended stays without relying solely on witness statements.
Clarifications on Prominent Political and Royal Visitors
Updated records continue to list former President Bill Clinton among those who flew on Epstein’s plane, yet flight logs and an email from Epstein himself state that Clinton never set foot on Little St. James. Prince Andrew has confirmed multiple visits; recent files add context about his security detail’s involvement in related travel. Other political figures appearing in manifests or logs include former Israeli Prime Minister Ehud Barak, former Colombian President Andrés Pastrana, former U.S. Senator George Mitchell, and former New Mexico Governor Bill Richardson.
Academics and Entertainers with Documented Visits
Physicist Stephen Hawking attended a 2006 science conference organized in part with Epstein funding; activities included a submarine excursion, and photographs from the event have reappeared in the latest file releases. No allegations of misconduct have been attached to Hawking’s presence. Other academics referenced include physicist Lawrence Krauss. On the entertainment side, the files list visits or planned visits involving Naomi Campbell, Kevin Spacey, Chris Tucker, David Copperfield, and Courtney Love, each appearing in logs or witness accounts without established claims of wrongdoing.
Operational Insiders and Facilitators
Modeling agent Jean-Luc Brunel, who died in 2022 while awaiting trial on rape charges, is documented as a frequent visitor and recruiter. Epstein’s longtime assistants Sarah Kellen and Emmy Tayler handled scheduling and logistics for many trips. Pilot Larry Visoski logged dozens of flights carrying passengers to the island, while political aide Doug Band appears in connection with Clinton-related travel arrangements.
The expanded 2026 releases have not resolved every question about activities on Little St. James, but they have supplied additional primary-source detail on who came and went. As more documents undergo review, the island’s visitor list continues to lengthen while underscoring how much remains unknown about what occurred during those visits.
