Epstein Files Live Updates: US Justice Department has released new set of files related to deceased sex offender Jeffrey Epstein and one of the emails released in the documents show US President Donald Trump’s name as a passenger listed on Epstein’s private jet on eight flights between 1993 and 1996. The new set of files released on Sunday by the department has about 29,000 pages which includes court records, videos and emails.
Epstein Files released earlier: The latest files released by the Justice Department comes after Trump administration published a large trove of documents related to Epstein’s investigation in an attempt to comply with a new law overwhelmingly passed by the US Congress last month which mandates the Justice Department to release all the files related to Epstein.
Epstein Files in batches: The department earlier released Epstein files on Friday and Saturday which were heavily redacted but included never seen before images of former President Bill Clinton with Epstein and a 1996 criminal complaint against the late sex offender.
The Justice Department, in a post on X, stated about the letter from Jeffrey Epstein to Larry Nassar. It wrote, "The Department of Justice is currently looking into the validity of this alleged letter from Jeffrey Epstein to Larry Nassar and we will follow up as soon as possible."
Detailing about "three facts", the justice department said:
One of victims of Jeffrey Epstein, Haley Robson, who voted for Donald Trump in the 2024 presidential election, now says she wants the US president impeached over his handling of the Epstein investigation.
"I redact any support I’ve ever given to him, Pam Bondi, Kash Patel. I am so disgusted with this administration. I think that Pam Bondi and Kash Patel both need to resign, and I would love to see number 47 get impeached over this. And I’m just waiting," Robson told CNN.
House Republican Marjorie Taylor Greene has reacted to the release of latest Epstein files by the US Justice Department and termed it "horrifying".
In a post on X, Greene wrote, "This is horrifying. Trump called me a traitor for fighting him to release the Epstein files and standing with women who were raped, jailed in stalls, and trafficked to men. Only evil people would hide this and protect those who participated."
Convicted sex offender Jeffrey Epstein travelled on fake Austrian passport which was recovered from a safe during an FBI raid in 2019 at his home in Manhattan after he was arrested on sex trafficking charges.
The fraudulent Austrian passport bears the photo of Epstein along with the name Marius Robert Fortelni and it was issued on May 21, 1982.
The latest files released by the justice department contains images of deceased sex offender Jeffrey Epstein's passport which was issued by the authorities in 1985 and had expired in 1995.
The US Justice Department released nearly 30,000 documents in the latest tranche a few days after the Trump administration earlier released thousands of documents related to deceased sex offender Jeffrey Epstein.
The documents are being released as part of the new transparency law which was passed overwhelmingly by both the houses of the US Congress last month and President Donald Trump also gave his assent to it.
However, Trump has downplayed the importance of Epstein files, stating the material was "just used to deflect against tremendous success" by him and his fellow Republicans.
Among the thousands of pages released by the Justice Department related to deceased sex offender Jeffrey Epstein, there is a list of redacted pages and details. In a letter to the US Congress last week, Deputy Attorney General Todd Blanche said that justice department can black out information in the files being released.
Blanche, on Sunday, said the move to redact information in the files is “simply…to protect victims.” The department is holding back information mentioned in the Epstein files which it believes would be protected internal information.
During an interview with NBC News, Blanche said, "We’re going through a very methodical process with hundreds of lawyers looking at every single document and making sure that victims’ names and any of the information from victims is protected and redacted, which is exactly what the (Epstein Files) Transparency Act expects."
A new set of pages related to Jeffrey Epstein's investigation was uploaded by the Justice Department on its website which spans through nearly 30,000 pages and include photos, videos and court records.
The latest documents released contain:
Subpoena to Mar-a-Lago: The documents reveal that prosecutors sought employment records from President Donald Trump's club in 2021 during the Ghislaine Maxwell's investigation.
Flight Records: An email sent by an assistant US attorney of Southern District of New York stated that Trump was listed as a passenger on Epstein's private jet for at least eight times for a period between 1993 and 1996. One of the trips included Trump, Epstein and a 20-year-old woman as the only passengers.
Unverified Tips: Some leads were gathered by the FBI that Trump attended parties with Epstein, however, the files do not suggest any follow-up or corroboration on the said leads, The Washington Post reported.
The email released as part of the Epstein files by the US Justice Department on Sunday night reveal that one of the flights listed US President Donald Trump, deceased sex offender Jeffrey Epstein and a 20-year-old as the only three passengers. The name of the 20-year-old has been redacted by the department.
"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," the email states which has been authored by an assistant US attorney, Southern District of New York.
The US Department of Justice (DOJ) has said that nearly 30,000 pages have been released relating to Jeffrey Epstein and cautioned regarding some of the pages referencing President Donald Trump without mentioning which ones.
"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 in a post on X.
The department further wrote, "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."
The latest documents released by the US Justice Department has revealed an email sent by an assistant US attorney from the Southern District of New York on January 8, 2020 which states that Donald Trump “traveled on Epstein’s private jet many more times than previously has been reported (or that we were aware)."
The email further shows that Trump was named as a passenger on "at least eight flights between 1993 and 1996, including at least four flights on which (Ghislaine) Maxwell was also present."
The name of the sender and recipient of the email has been redacted by the US Justice Department.
