Donald Trump was listed as a passenger on eight flights aboard Jeffrey Epstein’s private jet, according to newly released U.S. Justice Department documents.
The information appears in internal records that became public as part of a large document release related to the Epstein investigation. The documents indicate that the flights took place during the 1990s, a period when Epstein maintained connections with several high-profile figures.
Officials have clarified that appearing in flight records does not automatically imply wrongdoing. The Justice Department has stated that some material in the released files includes unverified or second-hand claims and should not be interpreted as proof of criminal activity.
Trump has previously acknowledged knowing Epstein socially but has said that their association ended long before Epstein’s legal troubles became public. The release of these documents has renewed public discussion around Epstein’s network and the scope of his relationships with influential individuals.
The documents are part of broader efforts aimed at transparency in the handling of the Epstein and Ghislaine Maxwell cases, though many sections remain redacted to protect privacy and legal considerations.
