Justice Department Warns Against Misleading Claims as New Epstein Files Reveal Trump's 8 Private Flights
An internal email included in the files claims that Donald Trump travelled on Epstein’s private jet more frequently than had previously been reported.
The US Justice Department has released another set of documents related to the investigation into the late sex offender Jeffrey Epstein. A newly uncovered email claims that former President Donald Trump traveled on Epstein's private jet more frequently than previously reported. However, the Department of Justice has cautioned against spreading 'untrue and sensationalist' claims about the former President.
According to the email, dated January 7, 2020, Trump is listed as a passenger on at least eight flights between 1993 and 1996. The email, part of a chain discussing 'Epstein flight records,' also mentions that Trump traveled with other individuals, including his daughter Tiffany, son Eric, and Marla Maples. The email does not imply any wrongdoing on Trump's part.
It's worth noting that Trump had a complex relationship with Epstein, with whom he was friends for several years before reportedly falling out in 2004. Trump has consistently denied any wrongdoing related to Epstein. The new revelations come as the Department of Justice restored a photo of Trump to the Epstein case files, citing a review of the evidence.
The email in question is part of a larger investigation into Ghislaine Maxwell, who was sentenced to 20 years in prison in 2022 for crimes including conspiracy to entice minors to travel for sex acts and sex trafficking of a minor. While the email's claims are intriguing, it's essential to remember that merely being listed as a passenger on Epstein's flights does not necessarily imply involvement in any wrongdoing.
