New Epstein Files Mention Trump, Allegations Not Verified
Newly released Jeffrey Epstein files from the U.S. Department of Justice include documents that mention President Donald Trump in connection with people and events tied to Epstein’s social circle. The release is part of a large batch of records made public under a transparency law, but the contents have not been independently verified and do not represent proven facts.
Mentions, Allegations and Context
The documents include summaries of unverified allegations received by investigators over the years, some of which refer to events and individuals linked to Epstein. Certain entries mention Trump’s name alongside claims of parties and social gatherings. However, officials have stressed that these reports are uncorroborated, comprise a mixture of tips and summaries, and do not constitute evidence of wrongdoing by any individual named in the material.
Official Responses
U.S. authorities, including the Department of Justice, have emphasised that the files contain unverified allegations and that many claims lack supporting evidence. The White House has denied misconduct by President Trump and noted that no charges have arisen from these documents.
On Epstein and Trump’s Past
Donald Trump’s historical social association with Jeffrey Epstein in the 1990s and early 2000s is well documented, and Trump has publicly stated that he distanced himself from Epstein long before Epstein’s later criminal convictions. The newly released records reflect calls and tips received by investigators rather than judicial findings.
