New Epstein Documents Mention Trump's Travel on Private Plane

Release of Epstein Documents

• ⚖️ The U.S. Justice Department has released tens of thousands of new documents related to Jeffrey Epstein.
• 📄 Despite the volume, the release contained little revelatory information not already in the public domain.

Mentions of Donald Trump

• ✈️ The documents include multiple mentions of President Donald Trump, who was formerly friends with Epstein.
• 📧 One mention was in an email from a prosecutor flagging that Trump had traveled on Epstein's private plane eight times between 1993 and 1996.
• ⚠️ The prosecutor sent the email in January 2020 to avoid the information being a surprise before a criminal case against Epstein's co-conspirator, Ghislaine Maxwell.

White House Response and Trump's Reaction

• 🏛️ The White House, when asked for comment, pointed to a Justice Department statement that the release included false claims about Trump submitted to the FBI before the 2020 election.
• 🗣️ Trump himself expressed frustration, stating the controversy was distracting from the successful work Republicans were doing.
