According to Reuters, the U.S. Justice Department on Tuesday released a new tranche of Jeffrey Epstein-related records—described as roughly 30,000 pages—that contains multiple references to President Donald Trump, including a prosecutor email summarizing flight-log information from the 1990s.
The Reuters report says the prosecutor note flagged that Trump appeared in the records more than officials expected, and it describes flight logs listing Trump on Epstein’s plane multiple times in the 1990s, including entries where Ghislaine Maxwell was also listed as a passenger. Reuters notes the documents do not accuse Trump of committing a crime.
In the same release, DOJ cautioned that not every item in the archive should be treated as verified fact, describing some submissions as “untrue or sensationalist.” In a separate Reuters report, the department also said a Trump-referencing ‘card’ purportedly sent from Epstein to Larry Nassar was determined to be fake, citing FBI review findings.
Other outlets covering the same development—including The Associated Press and PBS NewsHour—said the new dump adds volume and context but relatively little confirmed, newly revelatory evidence, while NPR highlighted DOJ’s warning about disputed items and a subpoena mentioned in the files.
