What We Know About Science and Tech Figures Named in the Epstein Files

The U.S. DOJ release exposed prolonged Epstein ties with European elites, causing political resignations and investigations in several countries, including Norway, Sweden, and Poland.

  • On February 10, 2026, the U.S. Department of Justice released a huge trove of Epstein documents that sent shock waves through Europe, naming royals, political leaders, billionaires and academics and prompting resignations and censure.
  • The documents were published after public and bipartisan congressional pressure forced release and include millions of pages of emails, schedules and correspondence naming Elon Musk, tech billionaire, and Reid Hoffman, LinkedIn co-founder.
  • A New York Times review found over 5,300 files with more than 38,000 references to Trump, while Nature reported Epstein kept contact with roughly 30 scientists and academics and left $10 million to a diplomat's children.
  • Peter Mandelson, former U.K. ambassador to the U.S., was fired and faces prison inquiries, British Prime Minister Keir Starmer faces a leadership crisis as Morgan McSweeney, chief of staff to Keir Starmer, resigned on Sunday, and Miroslav Lajcak, national security advisor to Slovakia's prime minister, quit.
  • Latvia, Lithuania and Poland have set up investigations, with Poland's Prime Minister Donald Tusk saying teams will search for victims and links to Russian services, while authorities note being named does not mean accusations.
