Just one day before Christmas Eve, as shoppers rush for last-minute gifts and families plan holiday feasts, the U.S. Department of Justice unleashed nearly 30,000 pages of Jeffrey Epstein investigation files on December 23—packed with hundreds of mentions of President Donald Trump, including flight logs showing he boarded the convicted sex offender’s private jet at least eight times in the 1990s, some alongside Ghislaine Maxwell and family members like Marla Maples and young children.
A 2020 prosecutor’s email flags one trip with only Trump, Epstein, and a redacted 20-year-old woman aboard. Trump has long denied visiting Epstein’s island or deep involvement, and the DOJ stresses no wrongdoing charges while calling some claims “untrue and sensationalist”—yet the timing has ignited fierce debate nationwide.
With over a million more documents now uncovered, the questions are exploding: how much more is coming?
Just one day before Christmas Eve, as Americans rushed for last-minute gifts and prepared holiday feasts, the U.S. Department of Justice released nearly 30,000 pages from its Jeffrey Epstein investigation files on December 23, 2025. This third and largest batch yet—complying partially with the Epstein Files Transparency Act signed by President Donald Trump last month—includes hundreds of mentions of Trump, primarily from archived news clippings, subpoenas, and internal emails. While reviving scrutiny of his past social ties to the convicted sex offender, the documents introduce no new accusations of wrongdoing against the president.
A prominent item is a January 2020 email from a New York federal prosecutor noting that flight logs showed Trump aboard Epstein’s private jet at least eight times between 1993 and 1996—more than publicly known at the time. At least four flights included Ghislaine Maxwell, Epstein’s accomplice now serving 20 years for sex trafficking. Details include one 1993 flight listing only Trump and Epstein; another with just the pair and a redacted 20-year-old woman; and others involving Trump’s then-wife Marla Maples and young children Eric and Tiffany. All trips were domestic, such as routes between Palm Beach, New Jersey, and Washington, D.C.—with no records of Trump visiting Epstein’s private island.
Other materials feature subpoenas to Trump’s Mar-a-Lago resort for employment records, linked to Epstein’s alleged staff recruitment there, and photos of Trump with Maxwell at social events. However, federal investigators never implicated Trump in Epstein’s crimes.
The DOJ issued a statement emphasizing that some files contain “untrue and sensationalist claims” against Trump, including pre-2020 election tips and a purported Epstein jail letter to abuser Larry Nassar with crude references—deemed fake by the FBI due to inconsistencies in handwriting, postmark, and timing.
This release follows criticism of earlier tranches for limited Trump mentions and heavy redactions. Bipartisan lawmakers have questioned delays, with the DOJ announcing on December 24 the discovery of over one million additional potential documents, requiring weeks for victim-protective review.
Trump has long described his 1990s association with Epstein as superficial, ending after viewing him as a “creep,” and denied island visits or knowledge of crimes. As more files await, the timed disclosure—amid festive preparations—has sparked nationwide debate over transparency, politics, and Epstein’s elite network, with no evidence altering the narrative of Trump’s involvement.
