Alan Dershowitz, a professor emeritus at Harvard Law School, publicly called for transparency in matters related to his former client Jeffrey Epstein. Speaking on Newsmax, Dershowitz said he wants the House Oversight Committee to invite him to testify in a public hearing.
He emphasized that all documents connected to Epstein’s case should be released, including the names of individuals who have made accusations. According to Dershowitz, withholding accusers’ identities prevents those accused from defending themselves and contributes to ongoing uncertainty surrounding Epstein’s life and death. He argued that without full transparency, key questions—especially about Epstein’s 2019 death in custody—may never be fully resolved.
Dershowitz’s remarks followed news that Tova Noel, a prison guard charged with failing to properly monitor Epstein before his death, would testify before the committee. He also referenced mentions of Bill Clinton in Epstein-related records, noting that while Clinton’s name appears, the identities of accusers linked to such claims remain redacted.
Addressing allegations against himself, Dershowitz strongly denied any wrongdoing. He pointed to a claim in which an unnamed woman alleged she gave him a massage on Epstein’s plane, stating the accuser was not a minor. Dershowitz firmly rejected the accusation, calling it “defamation” and a “total lie,” and insisted he was never on Epstein’s plane with a young woman. He added that he cannot directly refute the claim without knowing the accuser’s identity.
He also called for open investigations into Epstein’s properties, including his New Mexico estate, Zorro Ranch. The discussion comes amid renewed public scrutiny of Epstein’s network and calls for broader disclosure of information related to the case.
