US President Donald Trump reportedly travelled on Jeffrey Epstein's private jet more frequently than previously believed, according to an email from the US Department of Justice (DOJ). The email, dated 7 January 2020, lists Trump as a passenger on Epstein's jet eight times between 1993 and 1996. Despite the revelation, Trump has consistently denied any wrongdoing related to Epstein, and he previously claimed, "I was never on Epstein's plane."

 

This disclosure emerged as part of a trove of documents the DOJ released, following legal obligations to publish what’s known as the Epstein files. These documents, totalling over 30,000 pages, have come under scrutiny for potentially containing "untrue and sensationalist claims" against Trump. The DOJ confirmed that some claims lacked credibility and reiterated their commitment to transparency while safeguarding Epstein’s victims.

 

In response to the revelations, legal experts stress the listing of Trump's name does not imply misconduct. The documents detail that Trump flew with Epstein and other individuals, including Ghislaine Maxwell, during the specified period, noting one particular flight where Trump and Epstein were the sole passengers.

 

The latest document dump is part of a continued release process delayed beyond a Congressional deadline last Friday. Deputy Attorney General Todd Blanche acknowledged the delay, citing the need to protect victims’ identities and promising further releases in the coming weeks, reported the BBC.

 

 

Key Takeaways:

• Trump reportedly flew on Epstein's jet eight times in the 1990s, a DOJ email reveals.
• The DOJ documents claim "untrue and sensationalist" allegations against Trump.
• Further releases of the Epstein files are expected, pending victim protection.

So as usual he has been exposed, and as usual, you try to deflect.

The core claim about the eight flights and the 2020 DOJ email is correct and substantiated by official releases. However, it does not prove any wrongdoing—it's historical social association from the 1990s, similar to many other public figures who flew on the jet before Epstein's crimes became public. The releases emphasize transparency but highlight no new incriminating evidence against Trump.

Major outlets (NPR, NYT, Reuters, NBC, etc.) all report the flights as historical context, not evidence of criminality.

Exposed doing what? Was he being controlled by Epstein like DEMOCRAT Plaskett during the ANTI TRUMP lawfare witch hunts? Was he painted in a blue dress and high heels like DEMOCRAT Bill Clinton?

Trump flew on a plane. Not exactly another "skip trial just execute" moment. Is it?

OMG and he denied it!

The videos showing him naked having sex with underage girls is the only definitive evidence but Justice won't release them and will continue to deflect. 

Look! Over there, Bill Clinton!

US President Donald Trump was listed as a passenger on the private jet of late convicted sex offender Jeffrey Epstein eight times between 1993 and 1996, a new email released by the US Department of Justice (DOJ) says.

 

"Donald Trump traveled on Epstein's private jet many more times than previously has been reported (or that we were aware)," reads the 7 January 2020 email from an assistant US attorney.

 

In 2024, Trump wrote: "I was never on Epstein's Plane". He has denied any wrongdoing in relation to Epstein.

 

Ha. Busted. Trump is such a pathological liar it's just natural for him to deny, obfuscate, deflect and lie about anything and everything. 

 

"On one flight in 1993, he and Epstein are the only two listed passengers; on another, the only three passengers are Epstein, Trump, and then-20-year-old..." - the rest of the sentence has been redacted.

 

Trump is guilty as sin, he was best friends with Epstein for two decades, he likely engaged in countless acts of underage sex, and he likely engaged in countless acts of coercive sex, the man is a deviant and he's utterly depraved and he himself is on record as saying you can grab a complete stranger by the pus++, no problems, no consequences, nothing. Now when you're super rich and consider yourself the king of the world!

Agreed. All we will see throughout is confirmation of what we already know he is ... including a serial liar.  "Despite the revelation, Trump has consistently denied any wrongdoing related to Epstein, and he previously claimed, "I was never on Epstein's plane."

Well, aside from photos he already has been held accountable in court in other cases without the necessity of photos.

I'm trying to find the actual video of Donald saying he never flew on Epstein's plane and never visited his island...

 

So you're saying he wasn't telling the truth? Shocking! Shocking, I tell ya....

Right now at the Trump vs. Wall Street Journal et al defamation suit, all the motion to dismiss filings and an oral hearing have been completed.

 

And the dominant theme in all that from Mr. Trump is:

 

I NEVER wrote and never signed that birthday message. It is a fraud.

 

As per the flight log issue above, per the motion, still under the judge's consideration, what Trump says is is not necessarily what is.

You Trump sycophants really crack me up -- he really COULD shoot someone in cold blood on 5th Avenue, and you’d find some reason to applaud it! He was on Epstein’s plane at least eight times, although he lied earlier saying he’d never done that. Why would he lie, and who knows whether he’s lying now, when he says he did nothing wrong? (He is documented as having lied more than 30,000 times during his first term in office.)

 

But more than that, during his long association with Epstein and witnessing of Epstein’s lifestyle for more than a decade, including all those flights to Epstein’s island, either he was blind to the point of imbecility in not noticing Epstein’s closeness to child trafficking, or he was OK with it. I’ll go with the latter, given Trump’s many comments on Epstein’s fondness for young girls. Granted, until there’s evidence that Trump himself engaged in child rape, there’s no crime here, but are *you* OK that Trump was OK with it? That would suggest that you, too, don’t see child trafficking and child rape as such a big deal. If you did, you wouldn’t want such a cretin to be president.

The DOJ can't release them because they don't exist. I suggest it would be in your best interests to refrain from making such baseless comments.

It shifted to "so what" when it was revealed Epstein was controlling democrats in real time during the Get Trump charade. A real scandal which oddly was ignored by the Trump haters here.

Epstein was feeding questions for Plaskett to ask in real time. Democrats were political puppets of Epstein, yet the forum woke obsess over Trump merely flying in a plane. No rhyme or reason to this latest faux outrage

The more you let it out, the more you will hear yourself, it will take time, but you are welcome to come back to reality anytime.
