There's been another Epstein document dump — and this one mentions Trump

There's been another Epstein document dump — and this one mentions Trump

The U.S. Section of justness (DOJ) has released another trove of documents fastened to the caseful of the belatedly disgraced financier Jeffrey Epstein — and this batch contains emails that appear to implicate some rich and powerful people.

The first drop featured little content on U.S. President Donald Trump, despite his close friendship with the convicted sex offender, but this release includes at least one new revelation about his connection to Epstein.

U.S. Law enforcement documented at least eight occasions where Trump flew on Epstein's private jet between 1993 and 1996, including on a flight where the only listed passengers are Trump, Epstein and a 20-year-old, whose identity has been redacted.

Under the law that prompted the release of the files, the department was ordered to conceal details that could identify Epstein's many alleged victims.

Four of those flights also included Ghislaine Maxwell, Epstein's co-conspirator, who has been convicted of child sex crimes.

On two other flights with Trump, two of the passengers "were women who would be possible witnesses in a Maxwell case," an unnamed federal prosecutor said in a January 2020 email to colleagues — sent before the British socialite's case went to trial.

"For your situational awareness, wanted to let you know that the flight records we received yesterday reflect that Donald Trump travelled on Epstein's private jet many more times than previously has been reported (or that we were aware)," the prosecutor said.

Trump has long denied any wrongdoing and has never been charged of crimes in relation to Epstein. Appearing in the documents does not imply criminal wrongdoing in and of itself.

There's also a letter from someone who purports to be Epstein writing to what appears to be Larry Nassar, a doctor who worked for the U.S. Women's national gymnastics team and was later convicted of sexually assaulting hundreds of young athletes.

The handwritten card references Trump. It was sent sometime in August 2019, according to the accompanying prison mail document.

"Our president also shares our love of young, nubile girls," it reads. "When a young beauty walked by he loved to 'grab snatch,' whereas we ended up snatching grub in the mess halls of the system. Life is unfair."

However, the note was found to be fake, authorities said later Tuesday.

In a statement hours after it was included in the release, a DOJ spokesperson said on social media, "The FBI has confirmed this alleged letter from Jeffrey Epstein to Larry Nassar is FAKE. The fake letter was received by the jail, and flagged for the FBI at the time."

"The writing does not appear to match Jeffrey Epstein’s. The letter was postmarked three days after Epstein's death out of Northern Virginia, when he was jailed in New York," they said in an unsigned post on X. "The return address did not list the jail where Epstein was held and did not include his inmate number, which is required for outgoing mail."

Trump himself isn't happy with what the department has released, saying it unfairly implicates some past associates of Epstein who, according to him, did nothing wrong.

"What this whole thing is with Epstein is a way of trying to deflect from the tremendous success that the Republican Party has," Trump said at an unrelated press conference on Monday, before the latest release.

"So a lot of people are very angry that this continues," Trump said, insisting he kicked Epstein out of his Palm Beach, Fla., club years ago and cut ties with him.

This batch of files also includes an email from someone with the name "the Invisible Man" and initialed "A" — widely believed to be Andrew Mountbatten-Windsor, the former prince — addressed to Maxwell.

In the August 2001 email, "A" recounted being tired after a full day of summer activities with his daughters at Balmoral, which is the Royal Family's Scottish estate.

He quickly pivoted to asking Maxwell if she has found him any "new inappropriate friends."

Maxwell responded that she was only able to find him what she called "appropriate friends."

"So sorry to [disappoint] you, however the truth must be told," she wrote in an August 2001 email.

Hours later, A responded: "Distraught!"

In another February 2002 email, the person believed to be Mountbatten-Windsor again corresponded with Maxwell about an upcoming trip to Peru.

Maxwell relayed that a contact in that country was asking about what kind of "girls" he wanted while in the country.

"About the girls ... How old is he?" the Peruvian asked Maxwell. "I doubt it that he will find someone."

Later, A told Maxwell, "As for girls well I leave that entirely to you and" the contact.

According to a document prepared by the U.S. DOJ and sent to U.K. Authorities in April 2020, law enforcement was pursuing disgraced Canadian fashion mogul Peter Nygard for his involvement in a possible international sex trafficking ring when they found a royal connection.

Nygard wasn't explicitly linked to Epstein in the document.

"On at least one occasion, Prince Andrew travelled to Nygard Cay in the Bahamas, a location where Nygard is believed to have trafficked minor and adult female victims," the American agent responsible for the report wrote to a British counterpart.

"U.S. Authorities seek to question Prince Andrew regarding his visit(s) to Nygard Cay during the time period under investigation, and other information he may have about Peter Nygard and related individuals."

A Canadian jury convicted Nygard of sexual assault in 2023.

U.S. Authorities also sought to question Andrew in connection with the Epstein investigation.

This document states that there is "evidence that Prince Andrew engaged in sexual conduct involving one of Epstein's victims."

Mountbatten-Windsor has never agreed to be interviewed by U.S. Law enforcement — and documents in this tranche reveal frustration with how the then-prince was publicly characterizing how supposedly co-operative he was with the Americans pursuing Epstein.

King Charles stripped his brother of his remaining royal titles, military ranks and patronages earlier this year amid continuing controversy over revelations Mountbatten-Windsor stayed friends with Epstein longer than he previously disclosed.

The ex-prince was in touch with Epstein well after he served time in a Florida prison for procuring sex with a minor.

Still, Andrew Lownie, a British historian and the author of the recent book Entitled: The Rise and Fall of the House of York about Andrew's troubles, said the latest revelations are problematic for the King, as he has to grapple with more unsavoury details about what his brother was allegedly up to with his sex-trafficking friends.

"This new material coming out does add to the arguments for him to be properly investigated by law enforcement" in Britain, he said.

Mountbatten-Windsor previously settled a U.S. Sexual abuse lawsuit for millions of dollars with Virginia Roberts Giuffre, who died by suicide in April at 41. Giuffre said she was 17 when she was trafficked by Epstein and sexually assaulted by the former prince in London.

He has repeatedly denied meeting or having sexual contact with Giuffre or committing any crimes.
