The Department of Justice (DOJ) has recently been in the spotlight for its ongoing release of documents related to the infamous Jeffrey Epstein case.
The latest batch of files, however, comes with a caveat. The DOJ has warned that some of these documents contain unfounded and sensationalist allegations against President Donald Trump, which were submitted to the FBI just before the 2020 election.
According to RedState, the DOJ stated in a post on X, "Some of these documents contain untrue and sensationalist claims made against President Trump that were submitted to the FBI right before the 2020 election. To be clear: the claims are unfounded and false, and if they had a shred of credibility, they certainly would have been weaponized against President Trump already."
The documents in question reportedly include an email from a federal prosecutor in New York to an undisclosed recipient. The email, dated January 2020, alleges that Trump had flown on Epstein's private jet multiple times during the 1990s, and on one occasion, a 20-year-old woman was also present on the flight.
The email reads, "For your situational awareness, wanted to let you know that the flight records we received yesterday reflect that Donald Trump traveled on Epsteins 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 [Ghislaine] Maxwell case."
The timing of this email coincides with the 2020 presidential election campaign, raising questions about its intent. However, the email also reveals that Trump was accompanied on these flights by various individuals, including Marla Maples, his daughter Tiffany, and his son Eric.
The latest document release also contains rehashed and debunked allegations against Trump and other Epstein associates, accusing them of heinous crimes such as rape and murder.
These claims, however, lack credibility and are based on anonymous tips.
This document release follows a previous batch of documents and photos that depicted President Bill Clinton in questionable situations with Epstein and his associate, Ghislaine Maxwell. Fortunately, the latest release does not contain any compromising images of Clinton.
In response to the document releases, a spokesperson for Clinton demanded full transparency, stating that the President does not require "protection." This sentiment was echoed by Senate Minority Leader Chuck Schumer (D-NY), who tweeted, "The law Congress passed is crystal clear: release the Epstein files in full so Americans can see the truth. Instead, the Trump Department of Justice dumped redactions and withheld the evidence that breaks the law.
