In the glittering, cutthroat elite social circuits of 1990s New York and Palm Beach, associates watched in quiet awe as Donald Trump and Jeffrey Epstein transformed exclusive venues into their private playground—swapping triumphant tales of deals, glamour, and women in a partnership that pulsed with competitive energy.
Yet the DOJ’s explosive December 23 release of nearly 30,000 Epstein pages reveals just how intertwined they were: flight logs show Trump aboard the jet at least eight times from 1993-1996, including four with Ghislaine Maxwell and one with only Trump, Epstein, and a redacted 20-year-old woman—far more trips than Trump has acknowledged.
Fresh photos capture Trump grinning beside Maxwell, while a 2020 prosecutor’s email flags the intimacy he now vehemently downplays as superficial. No wrongdoing alleged, no island visits noted, but the vivid records ignite fresh scrutiny.
With over a million more documents uncovered, the full depth of their bond is still emerging—what triumphs did they really share?
In the glittering, cutthroat elite social circuits of 1990s New York and Palm Beach, associates watched as Donald Trump and Jeffrey Epstein turned exclusive venues into their private playground. The two men swapped triumphant tales of deals, glamour, and women in a partnership pulsing with competitive energy, attending lavish parties and moving freely in overlapping circles of wealth and influence.
The U.S. Department of Justice’s release of nearly 30,000 pages of Epstein-related documents on December 23, 2025—the third and largest batch under the Epstein Files Transparency Act signed by President Trump last month—reveals the extent of their intertwined social lives. A key document is a January 2020 email from a federal prosecutor in New York noting that flight logs showed Trump aboard Epstein’s private jet at least eight times between 1993 and 1996, far more than previously reported.
The logs indicate Ghislaine Maxwell, Epstein’s convicted accomplice serving a 20-year sentence for sex trafficking, was present on at least four flights. One 1993 trip listed only Trump and Epstein; another included just the pair and a redacted 20-year-old woman. Others involved Trump’s then-wife Marla Maples and young children Eric and Tiffany. All flights were domestic, between Palm Beach, New Jersey, and Washington, D.C., with no records of visits to Epstein’s private island.
Freshly disclosed photos show Trump grinning beside Maxwell at events, while files include subpoenas to Trump’s Mar-a-Lago resort for employment records, linked to Epstein’s recruitment of staff there.
Trump has vehemently downplayed the intimacy as superficial, stating the relationship ended years ago after deeming Epstein a “creep.” He denies wrongdoing or knowledge of Epstein’s crimes, and no allegations of misconduct appear against him in the files. Federal authorities have never charged Trump in connection with Epstein.
The DOJ cautioned that some materials contain “untrue and sensationalist claims” against Trump, including a purported jail letter from Epstein to abuser Larry Nassar with crude references—confirmed fake by the FBI due to inconsistencies in handwriting, postmark, and timing.
On December 24, the department announced the discovery of over one million additional potential documents, requiring weeks of review to protect victim privacy.
While the vivid records ignite fresh scrutiny of their 1990s bond—shared flights, photos, and elite gatherings—they add no evidence of criminal involvement by Trump. The documents largely contextualize known details from Maxwell’s trial and media reports, yet underscore Epstein’s extensive network among the powerful.
