WASHINGTON — The U.S. Department of Justice early Tuesday released thousands more files related to the late sex offender Jeffrey Epstein, with several referencing President Donald Trump.
The latest trove — which features nearly 30,000 more pages of documents related to Epstein — includes a note referring to Trump that Epstein appears to have sent the same month he died by suicide in a New York City jail cell and an email from a prosecutor claiming Trump flew on Epstein’s private jet more times than previously reported.
In a social media post announcing the Tuesday release, the department issued a blanket denial that Trump was involved in Epstein’s crimes, saying the evidence included in the files were discredited.
“Some of these documents contain untrue and sensationalist claims made against President Trump that were submitted to the FBI right before the 2020 election,” the post said.
The agency added “the claims are unfounded and false, and if they had a shred of credibility, they certainly would have been weaponized against President Trump already.”
The department has faced backlash for its piecemeal rollout of the files beginning Dec. 19, despite a legal mandate to release the full set on that date.
Trump had a well-documented friendship with Epstein, but has maintained he had a falling out with the disgraced financier and was never involved in any alleged crimes.
Flight records, letter to Nassar
A 2020 email from an assistant U.S. attorney in New York says flight records indicate that Trump “traveled on Epstein’s private jet many more times than previously has been reported.”
The email notes that Trump was “listed as a passenger on at least eight flights between 1993 and 1996” and that this includes “at least four flights” on which Epstein’s accomplice Ghislaine Maxwell “was also present.”
The files also include a letter Epstein purportedly sent to convicted serial sex offender Larry Nassar in 2019.
“We shared one thing … our love and caring for young ladies and the hope they’d reach their full potential,” Epstein allegedly wrote to Nassar, a disgraced former USA Gymnastics and Michigan State University doctor.
“Our president also shares our love of young, nubile girls,” Epstein appears to have continued.
Trump was president at the time.
“When a young beauty walked by he loved to ‘grab snatch,’ whereas we ended up snatching grub in the mess halls of the system,” Epstein purportedly wrote. “Life is unfair.”
The letter was postmarked Aug. 13, 2019, just three days after Epstein died in his jail cell at the Metropolitan Correctional Center in New York City.
The Justice Department said in a social media post Tuesday afternoon it was “currently looking into the validity of this alleged letter from Jeffrey Epstein to Larry Nassar and we will follow up as soon as possible,” pointing to multiple discrepancies.
Another email in the Tuesday release references more potential co-conspirators, according to U.S. Senate Minority Leader Chuck Schumer.
Schumer called on the Justice Department to release more information on a note he said indicates the DOJ “was looking into at least ten potential Jeffrey Epstein co-conspirators.”
The New York Democrat said the department “needs to shed more light on who was on the list, how they were involved, and why they chose not to prosecute.”
He added: “Protecting possible co-conspirators is not the transparency the American people and Congress are demanding.”
DOJ takes heat
The Justice Department has faced heat for opting to release the files in batches instead of adhering to the congressionally mandated full release of the files by mid-December.
The requirement comes from a bill Trump signed into law in November, which requires the agency to make publicly available “all unclassified records, documents, communications, and investigative materials in DOJ’s possession that relate to the investigation and prosecution of Jeffrey Epstein,” including materials related to Maxwell.
The measure — co-sponsored by GOP Rep. Thomas Massie of Kentucky and Democratic Rep. Ro Khanna of California — gave the department 30 days after the bill was enacted into law to release the files, or Dec. 19.
