Actor Kevin Spacey is pushing for the unsealing of all documents and names tied to Jeffrey Epstein’s sordid legacy, joining a growing number of voices demanding accountability from the U.S. government.
In a post shared Tuesday morning on X, the embattled Academy Award winner urged full transparency in the Epstein case, challenging the official narrative put forward by federal authorities.
“Release the Epstein files. All of them,” Spacey wrote. “For those of us with nothing to fear, the truth can’t come soon enough.”
Spacey, 65, acknowledged the scrutiny surrounding his own name’s appearance in previously released court documents.

“I hate to make this about me — but the media already has,” he added.
His remarks followed renewed outrage over the Trump administration’s recent affirmation that Epstein’s 2019 death was a suicide and that no “client list” ever existed—a conclusion that has prompted backlash from across the political spectrum.
Back in January of last year, a court filing from a long-running civil suit against Ghislaine Maxwell included more than 150 names tied to Epstein.
Those listed included political figures, royalty, and celebrities, which included Spacey himself.
Many of the famous people named, including Spacey, have denied having any involvement in Epstein’s alleged trafficking operation or any knowledge of wrongdoing.
Maxwell was convicted in 2021 and sentenced to 20 years for her role in what prosecutors described as a decades-long scheme to recruit and exploit underage girls for Epstein and his powerful associates.
The renewed calls for transparency have gained traction particularly among those disillusioned with the Department of Justice’s public handling of the case.
Comedian Jon Stewart blasted the Trump White House on Monday night’s episode of “The Daily Show,” accusing it of deflecting attention with outlandish theatrics.
“Surprisingly, MAGA World, for the first time in memory, isn’t just slavishly acquiescing to Trump’s reality distortion field,” Stewart remarked.
“So, MAGA World is now in open revolt,” he added. “You want to know how bad it’s getting out there? They’re literally burning their MAGA army uniforms.”
Stewart pointed to a Truth Social post from the president in which he downplayed Epstein’s relevance and urged his base to “not waste time and energy on Jeffrey Epstein, somebody that nobody cares about.”
The Comedy Central host scoffed at what he called a classic Trump misdirection.
“He’s gonna try something big,” Stewart said. “Don’t look at our inaction at prosecuting a sex trafficking ring to the rich and powerful.”
“We must focus on the real issue: The denaturalization of the co-star of ‘Riding the Bus with My Sister,'” he quipped in reference to Trump’s renewed feud with actress Rosie O’Donnell.
Stewart also suggested that the president was losing control of his base.
“They cannot believe what they’re seeing. Trump is lying? Dismissing reasonable concerns as bad-faith whining? Attacking anyone who disagrees?”
“The Trump that you’re just experiencing now, to your deep disappointment and dismay, is the dude we’ve been dealing with the whole f‑‑‑ing time,” Stewart continued. “You just didn’t realize it because he’s been nice to you.”
“The Daily Show” host claimed that despite the issue, “Trump’s MAGA base always benefits from favorable treatment.”
“Except now, they’re finally understanding what it’s like to be the target of his hostility,” he concluded.
Meanwhile, conservative commentator Tucker Carlson questioned the White House’s treatment of journalists who dare to broach the Epstein topic.
During a press briefing last week, a reporter was admonished by the president after asking about a DOJ memo reaffirming Epstein’s death as a suicide and denying the existence of a client list.
Trump dismissed the question, citing the urgency of the Texas floods.
“You’re asking — we have Texas, we have this, we have all of the things, and are people still talking about this guy? This creep? That is unbelievable,” Trump said at the time.

Carlson was quick to challenge the response. “Why is it not a fair question? There’s tons of evidence this is happening. Like, are you joking?” the former Fox News anchor said.
“You’re not going to shout me down, by the way, at this point. I spent four years being shouted down by the Left for asking, I thought, pretty reasonable questions,” Carlson continued.
“I have always felt very moderate, I’m not a hater at all, and I don’t—I’m not gonna become one. And I don’t think my questions are insane.”
He added that questions about Epstein “may be stupid” but are “not crazy.”
“And if they are, tell me how,” Carlson said. “Attacking critics for their questions is not going to work.”
Spacey’s renewed call for transparency comes as he attempts a quiet return to the entertainment industry following years of legal battles.
He was acquitted in a 2023 U.K. trial where multiple men accused him of sexual assault.
He was also cleared in a civil lawsuit brought by actor Anthony Rapp in the U.S.
