The United States Department of Justice (DOJ) has made public a massive new batch of documents related to the late financier and convicted sex offender, Jeffrey Epstein. This latest release, which occurred on the morning of Tuesday, December 23, 2025, adds nearly 30,000 pages to the public record, following an initial heavily redacted release the previous Friday.
Trump's Name and Travel Records Detailed
Among the newly unveiled documents are records that mention former US President Donald Trump. Specifically, an email dated January 8, 2020, from a US attorney in the Southern District of New York, notes that Trump "traveled on Epstein’s private jet many more times than previously has been reported." The email details that flight logs list Trump as a passenger on at least eight flights between 1993 and 1996.
On four of those flights, Epstein's associate, Ghislaine Maxwell, was also present. Intriguingly, on a 1993 flight, Trump and Epstein were the only two listed passengers. Another flight listed just three passengers: Epstein, Trump, and a then-20-year-old individual. The documents also note that on two other flights, passengers included women who could have been potential witnesses in a case against Maxwell.
DOJ Denounces "Unfounded and False" Claims
In a statement accompanying the document dump, the Justice Department was quick to address certain allegations within the files. The DOJ stated that some documents contain "untrue and sensationalist claims" against President Trump that were submitted to the FBI just before the 2020 election. The department emphatically labeled these claims as "unfounded and false," adding that if they had any credibility, they would have already been used against him.
Despite the dubious nature of some content, the DOJ proceeded with the release, citing its "commitment to the law and transparency." The release is part of a mandate following Congress's passage of the "Epstein Files Transparency Act" last month, which requires all Epstein-related materials to be made public, with legally required protections for the victims.
Royal Connections and Cryptic Emails
The documents also shed further light on Epstein's high-profile connections, including within British royalty. One email exchange from August 16, 2001, involves a message to Ghislaine Maxwell from an address titled "The Invisible Man." The sender, who signs off as "A," claims to be at the Balmoral Summer Camp for the Royal Family and requests "some new inappropriate friends."
Maxwell's reply on the same day was, "So sorry to disappoint you; however, the truth must be told. I have only been able to find appropriate friends." This release follows actions taken by King Charles III in October, who stripped his brother, Prince Andrew, of his remaining royal titles and evicted him from his royal residence over his ties to Epstein.
The trove also includes never-before-seen photos, such as one featuring former US President Bill Clinton with Epstein, and a 1996 criminal complaint from a former employee. The ongoing document releases continue to fuel global interest in the sprawling network of the late financier.
