US authorities have released a fresh set of documents, emails and official correspondence linked to legal proceedings connected to Jeffrey Epstein. Made public through court disclosures and government releases, the records add to the growing body of material now available in the long-running case. The latest batch includes several mentions of US President Donald Trump, largely through clippings, plus a prosecutor’s email flagging Trump’s flights on Epstein’s private jet in 1990. The Justice Department has stated that some records include “untrue and sensationalist claims” related to Trump that surfaced soon before the 2022 election. Here is a look at some of the documents that have recently entered the public domain. (Image source: Twitter)

The latest release of Jeffrey Epstein investigation records has made some fresh images and documents available to the public, although it has added little in terms of major revelations. Among these files is an email from January 2020, in which a federal prosecutor in New York wrote that newly received flight records “reflect that Donald Trump travelled on Epstein’s private jet many more times than previously has been reported (or that we were aware)”.

The documents also revealed emails between prison officials discussing Epstein’s first suicide attempt in July 2019. Officers said they found Epstein with a “makeshift noose around his neck,” but a prison psychologist initially questioned if the incident was a suicide attempt, the emails showed.

The highly redacted emails said there were about 10 people who needed to be contacted. All the names were redacted except three: Ghislaine Maxwell, who was convicted of sex trafficking and other charges in 2021; Jean-Luc Brunel, a former French modeling agent who was found dead in his Paris jail cell in 2022 and was suspected of scouting girls for Mr. Epstein; and Leslie Wexner.

President Trump’s name surfaced in the recently released files in connection with Ghislaine Maxwell in 2021, as part of an unrelated federal inquiry into whether Steve Bannon defrauded donors who supported a border wall between the U.S. and Mexico. (Bannon ultimately pleaded guilty.) Investigators found a photograph of Trump with Maxwell on Bannon’s phone and sent it to a federal prosecutor in Manhattan.

A new batch of released transcripts include emails that appear to show Andrew asking Epstein’s long-time partner Ghislaine Maxwell to find him “inappropriate friends.” In one August 2001 email sent from an address labelled “The Invisible Man,” the sender wrote that he was at Balmoral Summer Camp for the Royal Family and asked Maxwell, “Have you found me some new inappropriate friends?” The correspondence, dating to August 2001 and early 2002, was signed by someone identified only as ‘A’ and includes details that strongly suggest the sender was Andrew, such as references to Balmoral, the British royal family’s Scottish estate, according to multiple reports.

The latest files also included subpoenas to Mar-a-Lago seeking employment records related to a person whose name was redacted. It’s unclear how prosecutors used any information they received. In response to the subpoenas, Mar-a-Lago appeared to provide a letter dated several years earlier in which the club’s director of human resources seemed to confirm employment. Trump has said that he ended his relationship with Epstein because the financier had “hired away” spa attendants at Mar-a-Lago. (Image Source: DoJ documents accesed by NYT)

The first email that was released by Democrats earlier in November is from 2011 and is between Epstein and Maxwell. In it, Epstein writes to Maxwell: “I want you to realize that that dog that hasn’t barked is Trump.. [VICTIM] spent hours at my house with him”. The victim’s name was redacted in the email the Democrats released, although the unredacted version is in the tranche released by the committee. That shows the name “Virginia”. The White House said it refers to the late Virginia Giuffre, a prominent Epstein accuser who died by suicide earlier this year. (Image Source: DoJ documents accesed by NYT)
