President Trump’s name comes up or he’s referenced in the more than 30,000 files of investigator emails, FBI reports, pictures, and prison records connected to the Jeffrey Epstein investigation. One of the files drawing attention is *** letter addressed from Epstein postmarked three days after his suicide sent to convicted women’s gymnastics doctor Larry Nassar. The letter references, our president. And his shared love of young girls, but the letter was postmarked in Virginia, not New York, where Epstein was being held, and the DOJ posted online this afternoon that the FBI confirms the letter is fake, pointing out it lacks information that would have been required on the envelope if it was mailed from Epstein’s jail. Another file mentioning President Trump is an FBI tip line report of *** call from *** limo driver the week. Before the 2020 election, the driver claimed he gave Trump *** ride in 1995 and overheard him referencing Epstein and abuse of girls, but it was unclear who the alleged abuse was tied to. The same tip included *** rape accusation involving both Trump and Epstein. The accuser’s name is redacted, but the Justice Department says some of the claims against the president in these files are unfounded and. False. There are more mentions of President Trump, including him riding on Epstein’s plane more times than previously reported, although there’s no mention of where exactly they flew. Also, there are various meetings and interactions with Trump and alleged Epstein victims. But again, President Trump has never been charged with any wrongdoing connected to the Jeffrey Epstein investigation. Reporting at the White House, I’m Amy Liu.

The Justice Department released a second batch of files Tuesday related to the Epstein investigation, which included several references to President Donald Trump. The DOJ has publicly questioned the authenticity of some claims.
The Justice Department released a second collection of files related to the Jeffrey Epstein investigation Tuesday, which included over 30,000 documents with several references to President Donald Trump. While Trump’s name appears more than a handful of times in the files, the Justice Department openly questioned many of the claims and evidence provided in Tuesday’s release. “Some of these documents contain untrue and sensationalist claims made against President Trump that were submitted to the FBI right before the 2020 election,” a statement from the department’s X account read. “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. Nevertheless, out of our commitment to the law and transparency, the DOJ is releasing these documents with the legally required protections for Epstein’s victims.”Trump has never been charged with any wrongdoing connected to the Epstein investigation.In the release, one file included a letter allegedly from Epstein, postmarked three days after his suicide and addressed to convicted women’s gymnastics doctor Larry Nassar. The letter references “our president” and a “shared love of young girls.” However, the Justice Department later pointed out the letter was postmarked in Virginia, not New York where Epstein was held and lacked an inmate number, which is required for outgoing mail.”The fake letter was received by the jail, and flagged for the FBI at the time,” the Justice Department said. “This fake letter serves as a reminder that just because a document is released by the Department of Justice does not make the allegations or claims within the document factual. Nevertheless, the DOJ will continue to release all material required by law.”Another file mentioning President Trump includes an FBI tip line report from a limo driver who claimed to have given Trump a ride in 1995.
