Prosecutor Reveals Trump Took More Flights on Epstein’s Plane Than Known
Recent documents released by the U.S. Department of Justice (DOJ) reveal that former President Donald Trump was listed as a passenger on Jeffrey Epstein’s private jet more times than previously known. The records indicate Trump took at least eight flights between 1993 and 1996. An email from an assistant U.S. attorney dated January 7, 2020, highlighted that this information was unknown until now.
Donald Trump’s Flights on Epstein’s Jet
The DOJ email confirms Trump’s name appeared on flight records linked to Epstein, who was a convicted sex offender. Notably, the email stated that this does not imply any wrongdoing on Trump’s part. In a 2024 statement, Trump maintained he was never on Epstein’s plane and has denied any involvement in Epstein’s criminal activities.
Details of the Flights
The document release is part of a larger batch concerning Epstein, with over 30,000 pages made public recently. The DOJ clarified that while some documents contain sensational claims against Trump, these assertions are unfounded. The email specified that:
- Trump was listed on flights with notable figures, including his ex-wife Marla Maples and their daughter Tiffany.
- On one flight, only Trump and Epstein were listed as passengers.
- Two flights included women who could potentially be witnesses in the Ghislaine Maxwell case.
Legal Context and Ongoing Investigations
In 2022, Ghislaine Maxwell received a 20-year sentence for her role in sex trafficking. Epstein died in prison in 2019 while awaiting trial for similar charges. The recent release has faced criticism for not meeting a Congress-imposed deadline for disclosing all files related to Epstein. The DOJ’s Deputy Attorney General Todd Blanche emphasized the need for careful review of documents to protect victims’ identities.
This ongoing investigation into Epstein’s associates continues to generate significant public interest and scrutiny as more documents are expected to be released in the upcoming weeks.
