Three days after releasing a large tranche of Jeffrey Epstein documents that contained few mentions of President Donald Trump, the Justice Department disclosed thousands more files that included wide-ranging references to the president.

Trump is mentioned repeatedly in the new documents, including as a passenger on Epstein’s private plane for at least eight flights from 1993 to 1996. Trump is one among many famous names that have appeared in the Epstein files.

The president has not been accused of any wrongdoing in relation to Epstein, a wealthy and well-connected financier who was charged with sex trafficking girls. The Justice Department said the latest records contain “untrue and sensationalist” accusations against Trump from before the 2020 election. "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," the department said. Other documents mention 10 "co-conspirators," which has led to demands for authorities to explain why those people weren’t charged.
