Files Reveal Broader Investigations
- The new DOJ release is the most substantial batch of Epstein-related records so far and reveals deeper investigative work and new names.
- Records show prosecutors flagged President Trump's flight records and probed possible accomplices early on.
Flight Records Contradict Public Claim
- Flight logs reviewed by prosecutors show Donald Trump traveled on Epstein's plane eight times in the mid-1990s.
- Trump had publicly claimed he was "never on Epstein's plane," a claim these records complicate.
Agents Sought Suspected Co-Conspirators
- FBI agents were seeking updates on the "status of the 10 co-conspirators" the day after Epstein's 2019 arrest.
- The DOJ later said it lacked evidence to prosecute others, but early probes targeted multiple associates.
