Overview
- The Justice Department released tens of thousands of pages of Epstein investigative materials along with videos.
- A January 2020 New York prosecutor email says passenger lists show Trump on Epstein’s plane at least eight times from 1993 to 1996, with some flights including Ghislaine Maxwell and a then‑20‑year‑old woman.
- The disclosures contradict Trump’s 2024 statement that he never flew on Epstein’s jet; he acknowledges a past friendship, denies wrongdoing, and says they fell out about two decades ago.
- The DOJ cautioned that some released items are false, highlighting a 2019 letter purportedly from Epstein that the FBI determined was fabricated.
- House Democrats are expected to intensify oversight as the department reversed a temporary removal of Trump photos from the release, which it said was done to protect victims.
