DOJ drops thousands more Epstein files, some including Trump’s name

Published



The Department of Justice said it released over 30,000 more files related to Jeffrey Epstein on Tuesday, but warned that some included “sensationalist claims” about President Donald Trump and his relationship to the late disgraced financier.

“Some of these documents contain untrue and sensationalist claims made against President Trump that were submitted to the FBI right before the 2020 election,” the DOJ wrote in the announcement Tuesday morning. “To be clear: the claims are unfounded and false, and if they had a shred of credibility, they certainly would have been weaponized against President Trump already.”
