Donald Trump Picks Fed Chair, Then Epstein Files Reveal “St. Barth’s 2010” Guest List
Donald Trump’s move to nominate Kevin Warsh to run the Federal Reserve is landing amid a new document release that is already fueling questions in Washington.
The friction point is timing: Warsh’s nomination dropped the same day the U.S. Department of Justice released a massive new tranche of records connected to Jeffrey Epstein, a case that continues to trigger political fallout.
Reuters reported the DOJ published a new and “final” cache consisting of millions of documents, with extensive redactions, under a law passed in late 2025 requiring release of Epstein-related records.
Several outlets then reported a specific detail drawing attention: Warsh’s name appears in the newly released material on a guest list email referencing “St. Barth’s Christmas 2010,” though the email is heavily redacted and the context is limited.
Deputy Attorney General Todd Blanche said, “We did not protect President Trump.”

The key unresolved issue is what the mention actually signifies, because a name in a document can reflect anything from a draft list to an invitation or third-party chatter, and it does not confirm attendance or misconduct.
That uncertainty matters because a Fed chair nomination is a credibility test on markets and on Capitol Hill, and this development adds a new line of questioning before confirmation even begins.
The next steps are likely two-track: more reporting and document review around the email list, and Senate scrutiny of Warsh’s background as the nomination advances.
For now, the story is moving fast, and the paper trail is still being parsed in public.
