Overview
- The Justice Department says it has identified more than one million additional Epstein‑related documents for potential publication in the coming weeks.
- Roughly 11,000 files released on December 23 include a 2020 investigator email noting eight Trump flights on Epstein’s jet between 1993 and 1996, more than previously documented.
- The DOJ and FBI say a handwritten letter attributed to Jeffrey Epstein that references Donald Trump is fake and caution that some claims in the trove are uncorroborated or false.
- Internal communications reference ten presumed Epstein accomplices in the United States and show a 2021 request to Mar‑a‑Lago for potentially relevant records.
- Lawmakers criticize heavy redactions and missed deadlines under the disclosure law, and Trump has not been charged in connection with the Epstein case.
