Epstein Files, the email that disproves Trump: the US president at least 8 times on the private plane of the pedophile financier

The intricate and controversial web of relationships surrounding Jeffrey Epstein continues to fuel public debate in the United States, particularly regarding the alleged connections of the pedophile financier with former U.S. President Donald Trump. The latest document is an email dated January 8, 2020, drafted by an Assistant U.S. Attorney for the Southern District of New York aimed at providing colleagues with a "situation awareness" ahead of the proceedings against Ghislaine Maxwell, which sheds new light on the movements of Epstein and Trump. 

The email meticulously documents numerous movements of Trump aboard the pedophile financier's jet, a factor that complicates the narrative put forth by former President Trump, who has consistently downplayed his ties to Epstein and denied visits to the island. However, the email does not explicitly confirm direct flights to Epstein's private island, Little St. James, one of the locations where Epstein conducted his nefarious sex trafficking.

The emerged email states that the flight logs obtained by authorities indicate Trump's presence on Epstein's jet "many more times than previously reported" or known to the prosecutors themselves.

According to the analysis by the prosecutors, who reviewed over one hundred pages of detailed logs, Trump is indicated as a passenger on at least eight flights between 1993 and 1996 (thus before the first conviction, which would only come in 2008). This data, combined with the fact that the trips occurred "during the period when we would expect to be formulating charges in a Maxwell case," contradicts the image of a merely casual acquaintance between Trump and Epstein.

Particularly significant is the composition of the travelers. In at least four of the eight trips, Ghislaine Maxwell is also present. Maxwell is the former partner and main accomplice of Jeffrey Epstein. She was sentenced to 20 years for helping him recruit and sexually abuse underage girls for over a decade.

The logs also confirm that Trump used Epstein's aircraft while traveling with his family members: among the passengers are Marla Maples, his daughter Tiffany, and his son Eric. The use of the aircraft in family circumstances suggests a high degree of familiarity.

Details about some occupants are prompting the prosecutor to issue a further warning. On a flight in 1993, only Epstein and Trump were on board. On another occasion, the three passengers were Epstein, Trump, and a young woman whose identity is obscured, described as “a then-twenty-year-old.” Additionally, on two different flights, two women appear who are considered by the magistrates to be “possible witnesses in a Maxwell case.”

Although this email does not contain direct references to Little St. James, the document holds historical and judicial significance. The fact that the prosecutor deemed it appropriate to alert colleagues so that these elements would not constitute “a surprise in the future” indicates the sensitivity of the revealed connections. Trump's denials thus contrast with the evidence from the logs, which outline a more frequent presence, at least aboard the private jet, with sensitive passengers compared to what has been admitted so far.
