Washington, D.C. 24 December (H.S.): A 2020 internal email from a Southern District of New York prosecutor, unearthed in Tuesday's massive Epstein files release, discloses President Donald Trump flew on Jeffrey Epstein's private jet at least eight times between 1993 and 1996—far exceeding prior reports—including four instances with Ghislaine Maxwell aboard.

Penned January 7, 2020, under RE: Epstein flight records, the redacted message warns colleagues: Donald Trump traveled on Epstein's private jet many more times than previously has been reported (or that we were aware), including during the period we would expect to charge in a Maxwell case. It details Trump journeying with Marla Maples, daughter Tiffany, son Eric; one 1993 flight listing solely Trump and Epstein; another with them plus a redacted 20-year-old; and two others featuring potential Maxwell witnesses.

A handwritten log corroborates an August 13, 1995, Palm Beach-to-Teterboro hop with Trump, Eric, JE, and GM.DOJ swiftly contextualized: Some of these documents contain untrue and sensationalist claims made against President Trump... unfounded and false, attributing them to pre-2020 election FBI tips, released transparently while safeguarding victims amid over 30,000 pages from eight batches—despite missing Congress's December 19 deadline.

Trump, who banned Epstein from Mar-a-Lago circa 2004 post-alleged misconduct, insisted in 2024: I was never on Epstein's Plane, denying impropriety; flight logs alone evince no crime. Deputy AG Todd Blanche cited victim protections for phased disclosures.

The tranche—part of mandated Epstein probes—spotlights 1990s overlaps predating Maxwell's 2022 20-year sentence for 1994-2004 trafficking.

Prior logs and a 2021 Mar-a-Lago subpoena for employment records surfaced earlier; Epstein perished in 2019 awaiting trial. Bipartisan lawmakers decry delays, with survivors anxious for closure.
