Prosecutors say Donald Trump traveled more on Epstein’s planes than previously thought.

US President Donald Trump was listed as a passenger on convicted sex offender Jeffrey Epstein’s private plane eight times between 1993 and 1996, according to new emails released by the US Department of Justice (DOJ).

“Donald Trump traveled on Epstein’s private jet more than previously reported (or what we knew),” a January 7, 2020 email from an assistant U.S. attorney reads.

Trump’s name on the flight record does not indicate any illegal activity. “I was never on Epstein’s plane,” Trump wrote in 2024. He has denied any wrongdoing related to Epstein.

The DOJ said some of the files released Tuesday “contain untrue and sensational claims” about Trump.

Trump has been a friend of Epstein’s for years, but the president said the two had a falling out around 2004, years before Epstein’s first arrest.

The latest release of more than 30,000 pages of documents is part of the so-called Epstein file, which the DOJ was legally required to make public in its entirety by last Friday.

“Some of these documents contain false and sensational claims about President Trump that were submitted to the FBI shortly before the 2020 presidential election,” the Justice Department said in a statement Tuesday. “To be clear, the claims are baseless and false and, if they had any credibility, would have already been weaponized against President Trump.”

“Nevertheless, in accordance with the law and our commitment to transparency, the DOJ is releasing these documents with legally required protections for Epstein’s victims,” the DOJ said of X.

The prosecutor’s email was sent on January 7, 2020, and is part of an email chain with the subject heading “RE: Epstein Flight Log.”

The sender and recipient have been redacted, but at the bottom of the email it says Assistant U.S. Attorney for the Southern District of New York, and the name has also been redacted.

The email states that Trump “is listed as a passenger on at least eight flights between 1993 and 1996, including at least four flights on which (Epstein associate Ghislaine) Maxwell was also on board. Trump is specifically listed as traveling several times with Marla Maples, her daughter Tiffany, and her son Eric.”

“On one flight in 1993, he and Epstein were the only two listed passengers. On another flight, the only three passengers were Epstein, Trump, and the then-20-year-old…” – The rest of the sentence has been corrected.

“Two of the passengers on the other two flights were women who could each be witnesses in the Maxwell case.”

The email said Trump flew on Epstein’s jet “including during the time he was expected to be indicted in the Maxwell case.”

In 2022, Maxwell was sentenced to 20 years in prison for crimes including unlawful sexual conduct and conspiracy to entice a minor to travel to engage in minor prostitution. Ministry of Justice said then She committed the offenses from at least 1994 to about 2004.

Epstein died in a New York prison in 2019 while awaiting trial on sex trafficking charges.

The prosecutor’s email did not provide further details about the flight.

The handwritten flight log released by the DOJ in February appears to have many entries that are difficult to read.

However, one person listed Donald Trump and his son Eric as flying from PBI (Palm Beach International Airport in Florida) to TEB (Teterboro Airport in New Jersey) on August 13, 1995. Also listed are JE and GM, popularly known as Jeffrey Epstein and Ghislaine Maxwell.

The file on Epstein released Tuesday is the largest to date, but many more documents held by the Justice Department have not yet been released. Since Friday, thousands of files have been published across eight batches.

The DOJ missed last Friday’s deadline set by Congress to release all files related to Epstein, including photos, videos and investigative materials.

The department has been criticized by survivors and opposing lawmakers for failing to meet the deadline.

Deputy Attorney General Todd Blanche told Deadline that not all of the files would be released immediately and that more would be released over the coming weeks.

“There are a lot of eyes watching this, so we want to make sure that we are protecting all victims when we produce the material we produce,” he said Friday.
