President Donald Trump’s name appears several times in the flight logs of Jeffrey Epstein, which were released by his own Attorney General on Thursday, Feb. 27. However, it’s not clear how many times Trump flew with Epstein, as the FBI has not made the full report available.
According to the released logs Trump’s name was listed seven times. One mention was on page 24 of the first log, dated Oct. 11, 1993. He was also listed twice on page 27, along with his then-wife Marla Maples, their daughter Tiffany Trump, and a nanny, on May 15, 1994. On all three dates, Epstein (listed as “JE”) was also listed as a passenger. A passenger named “GM,” likely Ghislaine Maxwell, was also on the flight in October 1993.
The release of these documents, related to Epstein, who was accused of sex trafficking, came just one day after Attorney General Pam Bondi appeared on Fox News. She confirmed the Justice Department would be releasing flight logs and names of people connected to Epstein.
“What you’re going to see… is a lot of flight logs, a lot of names, a lot of information,” Bondi said. “But it’s pretty sick what that man did, along with his co-defendant.”
Bondi also commented that these files were part of the first phase of the release, shedding light on Epstein’s network and giving the public much-needed accountability.
The first set of released materials included flight logs, an evidence list, redacted pages from a contact book, and redacted pages of a masseuse list. Some of the information had already been made public through court cases or other sources.
In a letter to FBI Director Kash Patel, Bondi stated that she only received about 200 pages of documents, mostly containing flight logs, a list of Epstein’s contacts, and a list of victims’ names and phone numbers, before Patel took office. On Wednesday, she learned from a source that the FBI Field Office in New York had thousands of pages of documents related to Epstein’s investigation and indictment. Bondi has requested that the FBI deliver the remaining documents by 8 a.m. on Friday, Feb. 28, and asked Patel to investigate why the request for all documents was not followed.
Epstein died by suicide in a New York City jail in 2019 while facing sex trafficking charges. He had connections with high-profile figures, including Prince Andrew, Bill Clinton, and Trump. Neither Clinton nor Trump has been accused of wrongdoing. Trump has said that he once considered Epstein a “terrific guy,” but they later had a falling out.
Epstein was accused of trafficking girls as young as 14, according to a federal indictment. He was facing a 45-year prison sentence.
In 2008, Epstein pleaded guilty to soliciting a person under 18 for prostitution and served just over a year in prison. In 2022, Maxwell, Epstein’s co-conspirator, was convicted of sex trafficking and sentenced to 20 years in prison.
