"WASHINGTON (AP) - The U.S. Justice Department has released tens of thousands more documents related to Jeffrey Epstein, a tranche that included multiple mentions of President Donald Trump but added little new revelatory information to the long-anticipated public file on the late financier and convicted sex offender. The release is the most voluminous so far and comes after a massive public campaign for transparency into the U.S. government's Epstein investigations."
"Among the mentions of Trump in the latest batch of the Epstein files is a note from a federal prosecutor from January 2020 that said Trump had flown on the financier's private plane more often than had been previously known. An assistant U.S. attorney from the Southern District of New York said in an email that flight records the office received on Jan. 6, 2020, showed that Trump was on Epstein's jet "many more times than previously has been reported (or that we were aware).""
The U.S. Justice Department released tens of thousands of Jeffrey Epstein-related documents, the largest batch so far. The release included multiple mentions of Donald Trump, many derived from news clippings, and an email from a Southern District of New York prosecutor noting additional flights Trump took on Epstein's private jet in the 1990s. The documents added little new revelatory information to the public file. The Justice Department warned that some documents contained "untrue and sensationalist claims" about Trump and identified one purported letter as fake. Trump has not been accused of wrongdoing in connection with Epstein.
