Overview
- Newly posted DOJ materials include a January 2020 email from a New York prosecutor stating Donald Trump appeared on Epstein jet passenger lists at least eight times between 1993 and 1996, including flights with a 20-year-old woman and Ghislaine Maxwell.
- Trump has repeatedly said he never flew on Epstein’s plane, including a 2024 social media post denying any such flights.
- The Justice Department says it has identified more than one million additional potentially related documents and is reviewing them for authenticity and privacy, indicating further delays to the rolling release.
- DOJ and FBI officials say some posted items are false, citing a 2019 handwritten letter they determined was a forgery as an example of inauthentic material in the files.
- The department briefly removed and later restored multiple Trump photographs citing victim-protection concerns, while the White House highlighted images featuring Bill Clinton to shift public focus.
