The document drop comes after hundreds of thousands of documents were released on Friday that included photos of former President Bill Clinton with Epstein. The latest document drop included claims about Trump and Epstein submitted to the FBI before the 2020 election, the Justice Department said.
“The Department of Justice has officially released nearly 30,000 more pages of documents related to Jeffrey Epstein. 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 Justice Department said Tuesday.
“To be clear: the claims are unfounded and false, and if they had a shred of credibility, they certainly would have been weaponized against President Trump already. Nevertheless, out of our commitment to the law and transparency, the DOJ is releasing these documents with the legally required protections for Epstein’s victims,” the department added.
The documents can be viewed here. The release includes a wide variety of documents, including news article clippings, emails, and court filings. One of the documents includes an email from a federal prosecutor alleging that Trump had been a passenger multiple times on Epstein’s private plane.
“In particular, he is listed as a passenger on at least eight flights between 1993 and 1996, including at least four flights on which Maxwell was also present,” the email said. “On one flight in 1993, he and Epstein are the only two listed passengers; on another, the only three passengers are Epstein, Trump, and then-20-year-old [redacted]. On two other flights, two of the passengers, respectively, were women who would be possible witnesses in a Maxwell case.”
Another document included allegations leveled against Trump by a Dallas limousine driver, who claimed that Trump made “very concerning” remarks in his limo in 1995. According to the FBI document, the driver “noted Trump continuously stated the name ‘Jeffrey’ while on the phone, and made references to abusing some girl.” The claims made by the driver were not substantiated, according to the Justice Department.

Trump has characterized questions about the Epstein case as a “hoax” perpetrated by Democrats to derail his administration. No evidence has been produced that the president ever engaged in illegal behavior during his previous encounters with Epstein, whom he banned from Mar-a-Lago.
“Nobody cared about Jeffrey Epstein when he was alive and, if the Democrats had anything, they would have released it before our Landslide Election Victory,” Trump said in a post last month calling for Republicans to support legislation requiring the Justice Department to release the documents.
After signing the disclosure legislation, Trump took aim at Epstein’s connections with major Democrats.
“Perhaps the truth about these Democrats, and their associations with Jeffrey Epstein, will soon be revealed, because I HAVE JUST SIGNED THE BILL TO RELEASE THE EPSTEIN FILES!” Trump said on Truth Social. “This latest Hoax will backfire on the Democrats just as all of the rest have!”
