Overview

• Elon Musk posted on X on June 5, 2025, that President Donald Trump appears in sealed government documents connected to Jeffrey Epstein and hinted this is why the files remain undisclosed.
• Trump’s contact information was already confirmed in Epstein’s 2002 “black book,” but experts emphasize that inclusion in the list does not imply involvement in Epstein’s criminal activities.
• Records and photographs show Trump and Epstein socialized in the 1990s and early 2000s, with Trump once praising Epstein before saying in 2019 that he hadn’t spoken to him in 15 years.
• A 2016 lawsuit alleging that Trump and Epstein raped a 13-year-old was withdrawn and has never been substantiated in court.
• The Trump campaign rejects any wrongdoing as transparency advocates press the Justice Department to make all Epstein-related files public.
