I've mentioned this here; I don't know if I'm completely on board for it, but I think it's a possibility:
There's a good chance there's no list as such. It was likely a convenient thing for Trump to refer to for his own benefit.
I do suspect there's an informal list of some kind. This list would range from 'very unlikely' to 'very likely' perpetrators, and many in-between. If someone was ever on a flight with Epstein, are they on the list? What if they took two flights, but never to his island? It's pretty likely that just releasing en-masse this list would endanger a great number of lives, many of which are likely innocent. Almost assuredly, Trump and others are on that kind of a list, because they've had dealings with Epstein in the past. Whatever nuance one would use in releasing the list, it would result in a witch hunt and catastrophic shit show.
So that's roughly where I'm at; it was a useful political tool for Trump to fire up conspiracy theories, and it's a whole lot more complicated than 'these people are guilty, now go lynch them'.
Typical Left Cult response... if you don't like it, you refuse to think it through. Those are absolutely two of the options on the table, but I also shared the other options... You're a closed mind.
These are our options to believe now and there is no solid evidence to confirm any of the claims at this time.
(a) Trump is on the list
(b) Trump is protecting someone(s) on the list
(c) Trump got something for withholding the list
(d) The list (information) has been so deeply corrupted by the Democrats that it cannot be trusted
(e) National Security
(f) More that one of the above...
