  • New DOJ docs suggest deeper Trump-Epstein link

    https://freepressokc.com/new-doj-docs-suggest-deeper-trump-epstein-link/

    Published Dec 25, 2025 – Merry Christmas Donald! šŸ˜‰

     

    WASHINGTON — The U.S. Department of Justice early Tuesday released thousands more files related to theĀ late sex offender Jeffrey Epstein, with several referencing President Donald Trump.

    The latest trove — which features nearly 30,000 more pages of documents related to Epstein — includes a note implicating Trump purportedly written by Epstein that the department later declared to be fake and an email from a prosecutor claiming Trump flew on Epstein’s private jet more times than previously reported.

    In aĀ social media postĀ announcing the Tuesday release, the department issued a blanket denial that Trump was involved in Epstein’s crimes, saying the evidence included in the files was discredited.

    ā€œSome of these documents contain untrue and sensationalist claims made against President Trump that were submitted to the FBI right before the 2020 election,ā€ the post said.

    The agency added ā€œthe claims are unfounded and false, and if they had a shred of credibility, they certainly would have been weaponized against President Trump already.ā€

    The department has faced backlash for its piecemeal rollout of the files beginning Dec. 19, despite a legal mandate to release the full set on that date.

    Trump had a well-documented friendship with Epstein, but has maintained he had a falling out with the disgraced financier and was never involved in any alleged crimes.

    Flights

    AĀ 2020 emailĀ from an assistant U.S. attorney in New York says flight records indicate that Trump ā€œtraveled on Epstein’s private jet many more times than previously has been reported.ā€

    The email notes that Trump was ā€œlisted as a passenger on at least eight flights between 1993 and 1996ā€ and that this includes ā€œat least four flightsā€ on which Epstein’s accomplice Ghislaine Maxwell ā€œwas also present.ā€

    The files also include aĀ letterĀ that Epstein appeared to have sent to convicted serial sex offender Larry Nassar in 2019 but that the Justice DepartmentĀ declaredĀ to be ā€œfake,ā€ pointing to several discrepancies.

    The Justice Department said the handwriting did not match Epstein’s, noted it was postmarked after his death in Northern Virginia, not New York, and did not include Epstein’s jail name or inmate number — a requirement for outgoing mail.

    The department said the ā€œfake letter serves as a reminder that just because a document is released by the Department of Justice does not make the allegations or claims within the document factual.ā€

    The letter, which appeared to have been sent from Epstein to Nassar, a disgraced former USA Gymnastics and Michigan State University doctor, said Trump shared their interest in young girls.

    The letter was postmarked Aug. 13, 2019, just three days after Epstein died in his jail cell at the Metropolitan Correctional Center in New York City.

    Another email in the Tuesday release references more potential co-conspirators, according to U.S. Senate Minority Leader Chuck Schumer.

    SchumerĀ called on the Justice DepartmentĀ to release more information on a note he said indicates the DOJ ā€œwas looking into at least ten potential Jeffrey Epstein co-conspirators.ā€

    The New York Democrat said the department ā€œneeds to shed more light on who was on the list, how they were involved, and why they chose not to prosecute.ā€

    He added: ā€œProtecting possible co-conspirators is not the transparency the American people and Congress are demanding.ā€

    DOJ takes heatĀ 

    The Justice Department has faced heat for opting to release the files in batches instead of adhering to the congressionally mandated full release of the files by mid-December.

    The requirement comes from a bill TrumpĀ signed into lawĀ in November, whichĀ requires the agencyĀ to make publicly available ā€œall unclassified records, documents, communications, and investigative materials in DOJ’s possession that relate to the investigation and prosecution of Jeffrey Epstein,ā€ including materials related to Maxwell.

    The measure — co-sponsored by GOP Rep. Thomas Massie of Kentucky and Democratic Rep. Ro Khanna of California — gave the department 30 days after the bill was enacted into law to release the files, or Dec. 19.

     

  • Trump trips, a fake video and 10 possible co-conspirators: Takeaways from new Epstein files

    https://www.bbc.com/news/articles/c5yj4yvx80do

     

    The US Department of Justice (DoJ) released its latest – and largest – tranche of files on Jeffrey Epstein on Tuesday.

    The 11,000-plus documents continue a stream of released information that began on Friday, the deadline mandated in a law that required the department to publicly release all of its investigative files into the late convicted sex offender.

    Many of the documents released on Tuesday were redacted with names and information blacked out, including names of people who the FBI appears to cite as possible co-conspirators in the Epstein case.

    The DoJ is facing criticism from lawmakers on both sides of the political aisle over the amount of redactions in its files. The new law specifically states that redactions can only be done to protect the identity of victims or active criminal investigations.

    US President Donald Trump’s name appeared more in these new documents than in previous releases. Many were media clippings that mention him, but one notable email from a federal prosecutor indicated that Trump flew on Epstein’s jet.

    The DoJ has said that some files “contain untrue and sensationalist claims” about Trump.

    Being mentioned in the Epstein files does not indicate wrongdoing. The BBC has requested comment from individuals named in our reporting.

    Emails between ‘A’ and Maxwell about ‘girls’

    Of the thousands of pages included in this latest release, one 2001 email sent by aĀ person identified as “A”Ā stands out.

    The message, to Epstein’s accomplice and close associate Ghislaine Maxwell, says that “A” is at “Balmoral Summer Camp for the Royal Family”.

    “A” then asks Maxwell, who was sentenced to 20 years in prison in 2022 for sex trafficking of minors and other offences: “Have you found me some new inappropriate friends?”

    In another email sent later that day, Maxwell writes back: “So sorry to dissapoint [sic] you, however the truth must be told. I have only been able to find appropriate friends.”

    The “A” email was sent from the address abx17@dial.pipex.com, with the sender’s name shown as “The Invisible Man”.

    An image from a prior Epstein files release showed a different, but similar, email – aace@dial.pipex.com – listed in Epstein’s phone book under a contact titled “Duke of York”.

    Another exchange in the new files between Maxwell and “The Invisible Man” discusses a trip to Peru.

    In October, Andrew Mountbatten-Windsor lost use of his Duke of York title following scrutiny over his links with Epstein.

    He has repeatedly denied all wrongdoing, and said he did not “see, witness or suspect any behaviour of the sort that subsequently led to his [Epstein’s] arrest and conviction”.

    The BBC has contacted his team for a response.

    Live Updates: Trove of Epstein Files Includes New Photos and Court Records

    The material includes thousands of documents related to past investigations of Jeffrey Epstein, as well as hundreds of images. Some depict politicians, pop stars and royals; others show women whose faces have been redacted.

    Here’s the latest.

    An initial review of a trove of government files and photographs related to Jeffrey Epstein and released by the Justice Department on Friday produced new images, old investigative files and more questions about a scandal that has dogged the second Trump administration.

    The full significance of the latest disclosure of the Epstein files was unknown, given the volume of the material and the Justice Department’s acknowledgment that it had chosen to withhold many more documents, citing the privacy of victims and an ongoing investigation. Given the incomplete picture — as well as the huge public interest in Mr. Epstein, his crimes and those who traveled in his orbit — the release is as likely to revive the furor over the so-called Epstein files as quell it.

    New York Times reporters are sifting through the material and providing updates and analysis.

    The latest release of Epstein material was mandated by an act of Congress, which set a deadline of midnight Friday. Though Republican leaders worked for months to stop the legislation, it passed the House and Senate nearly unanimously in November and was then signed by President Trump. Mr. Trump had opposed any release of new information for months and had pressed Republicans to block the bill requiring it. But, facing a revolt among his supporters, he reversed himself and urged its passage.

    The files made public on Friday appeared to include only rare mentions of Mr. Trump, but they did feature numerous photographs of people known to have associated with Mr. Epstein, including former President Bill Clinton; Mr. Epstein’s longtime associate Ghislaine Maxwell; Prince Andrew of Britain and his former wife, Sarah Ferguson; and celebrities, journalists and musicians like Michael Jackson, Mick Jagger and Diana Ross.

    The context of the photographs, the locations where they were taken and their connection to Mr. Epstein was frequently unclear.

    Todd Blanche, the deputy attorney general, said Friday that the Justice Department had planned to release ā€œseveral hundred thousandā€ Epstein-related documents from its investigative files. But he also said the government would hold back an unknown amount of material while its lawyers continue to comb through it.

    In a letter to members of Congress obtained by The Times, Mr. Blanche said that the Justice Department had identified 1,200 names of victims of Mr. Epstein or their relatives, and that its lawyers needed more time to redact or withhold materials that could reveal their identities.

    In the letter, Mr. Blanche promised the release of more documents over the next two weeks, and said the Justice Department ā€œwill inform Congress when that review and production are complete by the end of this year.ā€

    Here’s what else to know.

    • Document review:Ā A preliminary review by Times reporters suggests that much of the Epstein materials derive from three investigations into his interactions with young women and girls: an initial inquiry opened by the police in Palm Beach, Fla., in 2005; a subsequent investigation conducted by federal prosecutors in Florida that ended in 2008 with a plea deal for Mr. Epstein; and a final inquiry by prosecutors in Manhattan in 2019 that was never resolved because he died in prison while the case was proceeding.

    • Focus on Clinton:Ā The documents appeared to focus heavily on Mr. Clinton, at a time when Republicans are trying to shift public attention from Mr. Epstein’s friendship with President Trump. Dozens of photos released on Friday include one of Mr. Clinton in a hot tub and another showing him swimming in a pool with Ms. Maxwell. Mr. Clinton is one of the few people whose faces were not redacted, along with Mr. Epstein himself and Ms. Maxwell.

    • Epstein and Trump:Ā White House officials have acknowledged that Mr. Trump appears in the Epstein files, and his name appeared inĀ a trove of emailsĀ released in November. But his name is rarely mentioned in Friday’s release, and most of the photos in which he appears wereĀ already public, including shots of him and his wife, Melania, with Mr. Epstein and Ms. Maxwell.

  • “You’re the most obnoxious reporter in the whole place.” Trump vs ABC’s Rachel Scott

    ā€œYou’re the most obnoxious reporter in the whole place.ā€ Trump vs ABC’s Rachel Scott at the Farmers’ Roundtable At a roundtable intended for discussions about agriculture, ABC’s Rachel Scott asked a question about releasing video of a military strike. What followed was… not strictly agricultural. President Trump pushed back, disputing what he had said, labeling ABC ā€œfake news,ā€ and eventually declaring Scott ā€œthe most obnoxious reporter in the whole place.ā€ The farmers in attendance appeared to learn they were now an informal focus group for media criticism. What you’ll see in this clip:

    • A routine press question turning into a debate about what was or wasn’t said
    • A sharp critique of the press from the President — delivered with full rhetorical velocity
    • An unexpected detour into drug-interdiction statistics

    Secretary of War Pete Hegseth walked into the cabinet meeting ready to explain why the Caribbean now has more sunken drug boats than working cruise ships — and somehow managed to do it with a straight face.
    In his remarks, Hegseth insists that ā€œall these white bales are not Christmas gifts from Santaā€, which, to be fair, is the kind of clarification a government only offers when things are going really well. According to him, the second strike was justified, evidence-based, and definitely not the kind of thing that keeps Pentagon lawyers awake at night whispering, ā€œplease don’t ask us about submarines again.ā€
    He praises the intel, the process, the ā€œrigor,ā€ and the fact that apparently no one is fishing on a submarine — a sentence that absolutely belongs in the Smithsonian’s exhibit on 21st-century governance.
    Whether you think this was a decisive blow against narco-terrorism or just another chapter in ā€œAmerica vs. Things That Float,ā€ Hegseth is here to assure you the strike was correct, controlled, and totally not controversial (except for the part where it sparked… the controversy).
    And now, like any responsible adult, he’d like you to know the American people are safer, the boat is definitely sunk, and Santa is officially cleared of all maritime drug-running allegations.
