Hold onto your hats, folks—Harvard Law School Professor Emeritus Alan Dershowitz just dropped a bombshell about the latest Jeffrey Epstein files, calling out what he sees as a cesspool of fake documents and baseless accusations, as Just the News reports.

The Justice Department’s eighth release of Epstein-related records, a hefty stack of nearly 30,000 pages, has reignited controversy over the late convicted sex offender’s connections to powerful figures, with Dershowitz stepping in to challenge the credibility of some claims and the media’s rush to judgment.

This all kicked off overnight when the Justice Department unveiled the massive trove of documents, part of an ongoing probe into Epstein’s activities mandated by Congress under the Epstein Files Transparency Act.

Dershowitz Slams Media’s Hasty Labels

Dershowitz, who once served as Epstein’s legal counsel, didn’t mince words on Tuesday night when he publicly questioned the authenticity of certain allegations within these files.

He specifically took aim at mainstream media for slapping the “victim” or “survivor” label on anyone who’s ever lodged a complaint against Epstein, regardless of whether they even crossed paths with the man.

As Dershowitz put it, “The media refers to everybody who ever filed a complaint against Epstein as a victim or as a survivor. Many of them never met Epstein.”

False Claims and Retracted Stories Surface

Adding fuel to the fire, Dershowitz highlighted instances where accusers backtracked on their stories, including one woman who claimed to have video evidence tying high-profile names like Donald Trump and Bill Clinton to illicit acts, only to later retract her assertions.

The Justice Department itself noted that the files contain “untrue and sensationalist claims” against Trump, submitted to the FBI at a suspiciously timed moment, raising eyebrows about political motives behind some accusations.

Dershowitz didn’t stop there, likening the current frenzy over these unverified claims to a modern-day witch hunt, reminiscent of the McCarthy era’s reckless smear campaigns.

Concerns Over Accuser Anonymity Raised

He also expressed frustration over a troubling double standard, where accusers push out damaging information about others while shielding their own identities from scrutiny.

“These survivors want to put out the accusations, but they want their names to be redacted so that you can't face your accuser,” Dershowitz argued, pointing to a lack of fairness in the process.

It’s a valid concern—how can accountability work when the scales are tipped so heavily toward anonymity over transparency?

A Rare Bipartisan Moment Emerges

In a surprising twist, Dershowitz commended President Trump for defending former President Bill Clinton after the release of redacted images showing Clinton with unidentified women in casual settings like a hot tub.

Trump called the portrayal “unfair,” a sentiment Dershowitz hailed as a rare flicker of bipartisanship in an otherwise polarized landscape, noting that even adversaries can agree on basic decency.

With more documents expected to drop in the coming weeks, this saga is far from over, and if Dershowitz is right, we’re in for more separating fact from fiction in a story that’s already murky enough. Let’s hope the pursuit of truth doesn’t get lost in the rush to sensationalize—because justice, not headlines, should be the endgame here.
