The U.S. Department of Justice has released thousands of new documents related to Jeffrey Epstein, including references to former President Donald Trump. This latest batch, containing nearly 30,000 pages, reveals a note allegedly sent by Epstein shortly before his death and an email indicating that Trump may have flown on Epstein's private jet more frequently than previously reported. According to a 2020 email from an assistant U.S. attorney, flight records show that Trump was a passenger on at least eight flights aboard Epstein's private jet from 1993 to 1996, with Ghislaine Maxwell present on at least four of those flights. The email suggests that Trump traveled on Epstein's jet more often than has been documented in the past. Additionally, the files include a 2019 letter allegedly written by Epstein to convicted sex offender Larry Nassar, in which Epstein purportedly commented on their shared interest in young women. This letter was postmarked just three days after Epstein's death in a New York City jail cell. The Justice Department has stated that some of the claims against Trump included in the documents are false and sensationalist, asserting that these allegations were submitted to the FBI shortly before the 2020 election. In a social media post, the department clarified that if the claims had any credibility, they would have been used against Trump during his presidency. The release of the documents has drawn criticism for the piecemeal approach taken by the Justice Department, which has not fully complied with a legal mandate to release all files by mid-December. The law, signed by Trump, requires the agency to make all unclassified records related to the Epstein investigation publicly available. U.S. Senate Minority Leader Chuck Schumer has called on the Justice Department to disclose more details about potential co-conspirators associated with Epstein, indicating that the DOJ is investigating at least ten individuals linked to Epstein's activities. Schumer stressed the importance of transparency regarding the involvement of these individuals and the reasons for their lack of prosecution.
