Donald Trump in Jeffrey Epstein files published by Pam Bondi repeatedly named

President Donald Trump flew repeatedly with Jeffrey Epstein's private jets, files published by Attorney General Pam Bondi Show in the 1990s.

The files have not disclosed new information as a flight protocol, which Trump had been published as a passenger in Epstein's aircraft at least seven times in a separate legal proceedings. There is no proposal in the documents that the President participated in illegal acts.

Newsweek Contacted Trump for a comment by e -mail to the press office of the White House, outside of regular working hours.

Why is it important

In September, Trump said in September, when he fought for the presidency, Podcaster Lex Fridman said that he had “no problem” to publish more documents related to Epstein, a convicted sex dealer who died in 2019, if he secured a second term in the White House.

Prominent members of Trump's Make America Great Again Movement called for the declassification of documents related to Epstein, of which they believe that they could disclose details that combine top -class people with sexual exploitation of children. However, the files published on Thursday did not contain much new information and were first handed over to a series of conservative influencers, causing a setback to trigger online.

What to know?

On Thursday, the Ministry of Justice published what Bondi referred to as the “first phase” of the classified files that were obtained with Epstein. The documents – many of which were already publicly available by court files – were flying protocols, a document book and a partially reduced contact book.

An analysis of People The magazine found that Trump was listed seven times in the flight protocols, including the trips he undertook on October 11, 1993 and May 15, 1994 in Epstein's Jet. Marla Maples, Trump's wife and daughter Tiffany, reported to him in May.

One “ever”, which was assumed that he is an epic, was also listed as a passenger both on the flights October 1993 and May 1994.

Flight protocols that were previously published by court files also showed that Trump undertook at least seven trips to Epstein's aircraft in the nineties, sometimes accompanied by members of his family.

In 2002 Trump described Epstein as a “great type”. After Epstein had been charged in 2019 due to the sexual abuse of dozens of minor girls, the president said that he was not a fan, and the couple had not spoken for 15 years after a failure.

Trump said that he never visited Epstein's infamous private island, and nothing in the files published on Thursday suggests that he was involved in a criminal misconduct.

In August 2019, Epstein was found dead in the New York Metropolitan Correctional Center while waiting for the process. Although his death was ruled as suicide, conspiracy theories have questioned this judgment.

What people say

Attorney General Pam Bondi said In a statement published on Thursday: “This Ministry of Justice pursues President Trump's commitment to transparency and the lifting of the veil on the disgusting actions of Jeffrey Epstein and his co -diverse. The first phase of the files published today throws aufleuder on Epstein's comprehensive network and begins to offer the publication with an overdue accountability.”

The FBI Director Kash Patel said in an explanation: “The FBI enters a new era – one that is defined by integrity, accountability and the unshakable striving for justice.”

In a letter to Patel on Thursday, Bondi wrote: “At the end of yesterday I found out from a source that the FBI field office in New York was in the possession of thousands of documents in connection with the examination and indictment against Epstein. Despite my repeated inquiries, the FBI never disclosed the existence of these files.

“Until 8:00 a.m., tomorrow, February 28, the FBI delivers the complete and complete Epstein files to my office, including all records, documents, audio and video recordings as well as materials that relate to Jeffrey Epstein and its customers, regardless of how such information was obtained.

What happens next

As Bondi referred to the publication on Thursday as the “first phase”, the government will probably publish more files in connection with Epstein.

Some conservative activists have criticized the introduction of the documents and made it clear that they expect future publications to include important revelations with prominent people. There can be further counter -reactions if such files do not occur.
