The Department of Justice on Tuesday released another batch of files related to deceased sex offender Jeffrey Epstein.
The latest documents appear to contain court records, emails and some heavily or completely redacted files.
In a Tuesday morning post on X, the DOJ announced the latest drop and claimed to have released “nearly 30,000 more pages of documents related to Jeffrey Epstein.” The post also refers to claims made against President Donald Trump in the latest 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,” the post states. “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.”
Trump, who was largely unmentioned in the initial batch of files released by the DOJ on Friday, is a former friend of Epstein’s and has long denied any wrongdoing related to the disgraced New York financier. Epstein died by suicide while in detention in 2019.
Included in the latest batch from the DOJ is a handwritten letter Epstein, while detained in the Manhattan Correctional Center, wrote to convicted sex offender Larry Nassar that appears to reference Trump. In the letter, which appears similar to one described in a 2023 Associated Press report, Epstein says, “Our president shares our love of young, nubile girls.” Trump was president when the letter was written.

“When a young beauty walked by he loved to ‘grab snatch,’ whereas we ended up snatching grub in the mess halls of the system. Life is unfair,” Epstein wrote.
CNBC has not independently confirmed the authenticity of the letter or the claims made in it. The envelope is stamped three days after Epstein’s jailhouse suicide. In the letter, Epstein tells Nassar, “As you know by now, I have taken the ‘short route’ home.”
Hours after the initial document release on Tuesday, the DOJ said in a statement that the Federal Bureau of Investigation deemed the letter from Epstein to Nassar to be a fake.
“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,” the statement read.
Another reference to Trump appears in the latest release, in a 2020 email from an assistant U.S. attorney for the Southern District of New York whose name is redacted.
The prosecutor wrote that Trump “traveled on Epstein’s private jet many more times than previously has been reported (or that we were aware).” Trump is listed as a passenger on at least eight flights between 1993 and 1996, according to the email.

Trump and Epstein were the only two listed passengers on a 1993 flight, according to the email, and Trump, Epstein and a then-20-year-old (whose name is redacted) were the lone passengers on a second flight.
“On two other flights, two of the passengers, respectively, were women who would be possible witnesses in a Maxwell case,” the prosecutor wrote.
Ghislaine Maxwell, a British socialite, was convicted in 2021 of procuring underage girls to be sexually abused by Epstein. Last week, Maxwell filed a long-shot petition to vacate her conviction.
When asked about Trump’s appearance in the files, a White House spokesperson referred CNBC to the DOJ’s statement.
In another email thread released with redactions in the latest batch, a person from the human trafficking division of the DOJ and an unnamed recipient appear to discuss possible Epstein co-conspirators.
The email exchange, dated July 9, 2019, states that three of 10 “co-conspirators” had been located in Boston, New York City and Connecticut, and were served grand…
