DOJ releases 3rd batch of Jeffrey Epstein files, including some that mention Trump

The Justice Department on Tuesday released a large trove of records related to Jeffrey Epstein, including allegations about the late financier's ties to President Donald Trump

The Justice Department on Tuesday released a large trove of records related to Jeffrey Epstein, including allegations about the late financier's ties to President Donald Trump.

The release, by far the Justice Department's largest in its effort to comply with the Epstein Files Transparency Act, included the most new information, along with claims about Trump that the department said are "unfounded and false."

One of the newly released emails published Tuesday claimed that flight logs show Trump flew on Epstein’s plane at least eight times in the 1990s, including once with an unnamed 20-year-old woman.

The email, which a federal prosecutor in New York sent in January 2020 to an undisclosed person, says, “For your situational awareness, wanted to let you know that the flight records we received yesterday reflect that Donald Trump traveled on Epstein’s private jet many more times than previously has been reported (or that we were aware), including during the period we would expect to charge in a [Ghislaine] Maxwell case.”

Maxwell, Epstein’s accomplice, was indicted in July 2020 on federal sex trafficking charges. She was found guilty in December 2021 and is serving a 20-year prison sentence.
