The Department of Justice released a massive new tranche of Jeffrey Epstein documents, including allegations about Donald Trump's past travel on Epstein's jet and an alleged letter mentioning Trump's 'love of young girls.' Trump has publicly complained the files are a distraction from his agenda and could 'ruin' reputations, while the DOJ warned of 'untrue and sensationalist claims' against him.
The Department of Justice (DOJ) has published its largest release of Jeffrey Epstein documents to date, comprising 30,000 pages of materials. These files include a warning from the DOJ about 'untrue and sensationalist claims' against President Donald Trump, though specifics were not provided. Previous releases contained an allegation from an assistant U.S. attorney that Trump flew on Epstein’s private jet 'many more times than previously has been reported,' and an alleged 2019 letter from Epstein to Larry Nassar stating Trump 'shares our love of young, nubile girls.' Trump addressed the files, asserting they are a distraction from his policy agenda and could 'ruin' reputations. Despite the allegations and persistent questions about their past friendship, Trump himself has not been accused of wrongdoing in relation to Epstein. Further details from the documents reveal a redacted list of 'child victims,' emails from Bureau of Prisons officials discussing how to manage media criticism following Epstein's death (including an official drafting a letter taking responsibility before being advised against it), and an email about Epstein making a phone call to his girlfriend, Kristina Schuliak, shortly before his death. A memo from a prison official also suggests the FBI may have 'corrupted' camera footage after Epstein's death by mishandling hard drives. Investigators also complained about the FBI's handling of evidence, describing a disorganized process. The files additionally contain photos of a fake Austrian passport belonging to Epstein under the name 'Marius Robert Fortelni,' an undated letter from a victim alleging rape by Epstein and 'other men' in the Virgin Islands, and revelations that prosecutors identified 10 co-conspirators in Epstein’s sex trafficking case in 2019. A photo of Ghislaine Maxwell and Donald Trump was also included in the latest release.
