The prosecutor’s email was sent on 7 January 2020 and is part of an email chain which includes the subject heading: “RE: Epstein flight records.”
The sender and recipient are redacted, but the bottom of the email says assistant US attorney, Southern District of New York – with the name redacted.
The email states that Trump “is listed as a passenger on at least eight flights between 1993 and 1996, including at least four flights on which [Epstein’s associate Ghislaine] Maxwell was also present. He is listed as having traveled with, among others and at various times, Marla Maples, his daughter Tiffany, and his son Eric.”
“On one flight in 1993, he and Epstein are the only two listed passengers; on another, the only three passengers are Epstein, Trump, and then-20-year-old…” – the rest of the sentence has been redacted.
It continues: “On two other flights, two of the passengers, respectively, were women who would be possible witnesses in a Maxwell case.”
The email says Trump flew on Epstein’s jet “including during the period we would expect to charge in a Maxwell case”.
In 2022, Maxwell was sentenced to 20 years in prison for crimes including conspiracy to entice minors to travel to engage in illegal sex acts and sex trafficking of a minor. The DOJ at the time said, external she committed the crimes from at least 1994 to up to, and including in or about, 2004.
Epstein died in a New York prison cell in 2019 as he awaited his trial on sex trafficking charges.
