Harvard Law School Professor Emeritus Alan Dershowitz on Thursday told Sean Spicer that he had seen the Epstein client list and that the government had suppressed documents to protect powerful individuals.

"Documents are being suppressed to protect individuals. I know the names of the individuals. I know why they're being suppressed. I know who's suppressing them. But I'm bound by confidentiality," Dershowitz said.

"I know the names of people whose files are being suppressed in order to protect them, and that's wrong," he added.

When Spicer asked if the people on the list were politicians or business leaders, to which he replied "they're everything."

Dershowitz asserted he had seen the relevant materials due to the accusations he faced from the late Epstein accuser Virginia Giuffre and that he was bound to secrecy by court order.

Giuffre recanted her accusations against Dershowitz prior to her death and settled the case.
