The New York Times did a deep dive<\/a> into the latest files<\/a> tied to pedophile Jeffrey Epstein on Sunday and found that President Donald Trump\u2019s named appeared in more than 5,300 of the documents.<\/p>\n

The Times piece said reporters used a \u201cpropriety search tool,\u201d and found \u201cmore than 38,000 references to Mr. Trump, his wife, his Mar-a-Lago club in Florida, and other related words and phrases in the latest batch of emails, government files, videos and other records released by the Justice Department.\u201d<\/p>\n

The Times added, \u201cPrevious installments of the Epstein files, which the department released late last year, included another 130 files with Trump-related references.\u201d<\/p>\n

\u201cThe files are peppered with references to Mr. Trump, who had been a close friend of Mr. Epstein\u2019s until the early 2000s. While Mr. Trump has repeatedly downplayed the relationship, the two men bonded over their pursuit of young women. Mr. Trump has denied any wrongdoing in connection to Mr. Epstein,\u201d the report continued.<\/p>\n

Highlights of The Times\u2019s findings \u201cso far\u201d:<\/p>\n

Trump is named in \u201cunverified tips\u201d received by the F.B.I. \u2014 Trump appears in \u201cmore than a dozen tips submitted through the F.B.I.\u2019s National Threat Operations Center in West Virginia,\u201d the report said. \u201cSome of the tips include accusations of sexual abuse by Mr. Trump and Mr. Epstein. F.B.I. officials last summer compiled the tips into a summary, which was among the files released on Friday.\u201d<\/p>\n

The Times gave examples of some of the mentions, including \u201chandwritten notes from one interview in September 2019 \u2014 about a month after Mr. Epstein died by suicide in a Manhattan jail \u2014 say that a victim, whose name has been redacted, recalled being transported in a dark green car to Mar-a-Lago to meet Mr. Trump.\u201d<\/p>\n

\u201c\u2019This is a good one, huh?\u2019 the victim recalls Mr. Epstein saying to Mr. Trump. The notes do not suggest misconduct by Mr. Trump.\u201d<\/p>\n

Some of the documents confirm previous reports about Trump and Epstein \u2014 \u201cSome of the new files are duplicates\u201d of files released last year, the report said, showing that \u201clong after Mr. Trump and Mr. Epstein\u2019s relationship ended, Mr. Epstein remained intensely focused on his former friend, which included looking for ways to leverage Mr. Trump\u2019s political rise for his own purposes.\u201d<\/p>\n

\u201cThere are also scattered references to the compendium of letters that was presented to Mr. Epstein on his 50th birthday in 2003. \u201d Trump is suing The Wall Street Journal for linking him to the birthday book.<\/p>\n

The files include emails from a woman named \u201cMelania.\u201d \u2014 Three years before Trump married Melania Knavs, \u201ca woman named Melania wrote a warm email to Ghislaine Maxwell, Mr. Epstein\u2019s longtime associate who is now serving a 20-year prison sentence after being convicted of participating in his sex-trafficking operation.\u201d<\/p>\n

\u201c\u2019Dear G!,\u2019 the October 2002 email begins. \u2018Nice story about JE in NY mag. You look great on the picture. I know you are very busy flying all over the world. \u2026 Have a great time!\u2019 The sender signs off: \u2018Love, Melania.\u2019 The sender\u2019s email address is redacted.\u201d<\/p>\n

On Sunday, Deputy Attorney General Todd Blanche told CNN\u2019s Jake Tapper that the DOJ looked into sexual misconduct allegations against Trump in connection with Epstein, \u201cbut did not find credible information to merit further investigation,\u201d The Times reported.<\/p>\n

Trump told reporters Saturday that the files \u201cabsolve me\u201d<\/a> of wrongdoing.<\/p>\n
