50th Vice President of the United States (2025-present) and former U.S. Senator from Ohio. His name appears in the released Epstein files in the context of news reporting and political commentary.
Vance was a private citizen and venture capitalist before entering politics in 2022, well after Epstein's death in 2019. During the 2024 campaign, Vance publicly said ‘we need to release the Epstein list.’ Since the files were released, Vance commented that they showed ‘an incestuous nature to America's elites’ that was ‘pretty gross.’ Named on the DOJ's February 2026 list of 305 politically exposed persons.
