Overview
- The Justice Department said the FBI and SDNY identified more than one million additional documents potentially tied to the Epstein case, warning the review and release process could take weeks.
- The latest public tranche posted December 23 totals roughly 30,000 pages and about 11,000 links, including hundreds of videos and audios and surveillance images from August 2019.
- Newly posted materials include multiple references to President Trump, with flight-record emails listing him on at least eight Epstein jet trips from 1993 to 1996, some alongside Ghislaine Maxwell, plus photo references.
- DOJ stated that some newly released items contain untrue, sensational claims about Trump submitted to the FBI just before the 2020 election; Trump has not been charged and criticized the releases as harming innocent people.
- Authorities are scrutinizing a handwritten letter attributed to Epstein and sent to Larry Nassar, which officials have questioned and described as false, and an October 27, 2020 FBI record logs a witness recounting a woman’s rape allegation involving Trump and Epstein, with details heavily redacted.
