U.S. DOJ cautions latest Epstein file release contains false and unverified allegations involving Trump

Sensationalist and unverified Epstein Trump claims, say DOJ

The U.S. Department of Justice has warned that portions of its newly released cache of Jeffrey Epstein-related documents include false and unsubstantiated claims about President Donald Trump, saying the material should not be treated as factual.

In a public statement, the Department of Justice said the files contained “untrue and sensationalist” allegations received by the FBI ahead of the 2020 election, stressing that the claims were ‘unfounded’ and ‘lacked credibility’.

Among the documents is a 2020 email from an unnamed federal prosecutor alleging Trump flew multiple times on Epstein’s private jet in the 1990s—an assertion the DOJ says was never verified or corroborated.

The document dump also includes untested tips provided to investigators, as well as a questionable letter purportedly written by Epstein to convicted sex offender Larry Nassar, whose authenticity remains unknown.



The disclosures form part of a broader release under the Epstein Files Transparency Act, following the convictions of Epstein associate Ghislaine Maxwell and renewed scrutiny of figures including former president Bill Clinton, as the DOJ faces criticism over redactions, delays, and the handling of politically sensitive material.

  1. So much of what has been released is redacted meaning very little has been released
    Now the waters are being muddied to obfuscate the rest

    • Exactly this.

      All they have to do is bide time until their voting machines swing those mid terms in their favour. Gridlock Trump’s government and impeach for the fiftieth time.

      Thereafter it’s on to the next election shenanigans

  2. Why then is everything ‘redacted’?
    There is no State Security apparatus that can legally be exploited, especially when human / child sex trafficking is underway…
