- Nearly 30,000 pages released Tuesday include prosecutor email detailing Trump's flights between 1993-1996
- Documents show 10 potential co-conspirators investigated, with only Maxwell charged to date
- Senate Democrats demand full transparency as controversy over redactions continues
WASHINGTON, DC (TDR) — The Justice Department released approximately 30,000 pages of documents from the Jeffrey Epstein investigation on Tuesday, including a January 2020 email from a federal prosecutor indicating President Donald Trump flew on Epstein's private jet at least eight times in the 1990s, more than previously reported.
The email, sent by an assistant U.S. attorney from the Southern District of New York, states that flight records showed Donald Trump traveled on Epstein's private jet "many more times than previously has been reported" during the period prosecutors expected to charge in the Ghislaine Maxwell case, according to documents reviewed by multiple news outlets.
Flight Records Show Frequent Trips
Trump is listed as a passenger on at least eight flights between 1993 and 1996, including at least four flights on which Ghislaine Maxwell was also present, according to the prosecutor's email. Maxwell is currently serving a 20-year prison sentence for helping Epstein sexually abuse underage girls.
"For your situational awareness, wanted to let you know that the flight records we received yesterday reflect that Donald Trump traveled on Epstein's private jet many more times than previously has been reported (or that we were aware)," the assistant U.S. attorney wrote.
On one flight in 1993, Trump and Epstein are listed as the only two passengers. On another flight, the only three passengers were Epstein, Trump and a then-20-year-old whose name is redacted in the documents, according to the email.
The email also notes that Trump traveled with his ex-wife Marla Maples, his daughter Tiffany and his son Eric on various flights. On two other flights, passengers included women who would be possible witnesses in the Maxwell case, the prosecutor wrote.

The Department of Justice stated on social media that some documents contain "untrue and sensationalist claims made against President Trump that were submitted to the FBI right before the 2020 election." The department emphasized the claims are "unfounded and false" and would have been used against Trump if they had any credibility.
Co-Conspirator Investigation Remains Opaque
The document release also included emails discussing 10 potential co-conspirators in Epstein's crimes. A July 2019 email from the DOJ's Crimes Against Children Human Trafficking Unit indicated that investigators served grand jury subpoenas to three individuals in Florida, with one person each in Boston, New York City and Connecticut also served.
The email stated that four of the 10 potential co-conspirators were "outstanding with attempts having been made," including one described as a "wealthy business man in Ohio." The remaining three were "currently out of pocket," according to the document.
To date, Maxwell remains the only co-conspirator to face charges. The DOJ said in a memo in July it did not have evidence to charge any other parties in the case.
Schumer Demands Full Transparency
Senate Minority Leader Chuck Schumer called on the Justice Department to release more details about the potential co-conspirators following Tuesday's document release.
"The Department of Justice needs to shed more light on who was on the list, how they were involved, and why they chose not to prosecute," Schumer said in a statement. "Protecting possible co-conspirators is not the transparency the American people and Congress are demanding."
Schumer has introduced a resolution directing the Senate to initiate legal action against the DOJ for not releasing all documents by Friday's deadline as required under the Epstein Files Transparency Act, which Trump signed into law in November.
The initial release on Friday contained heavy redactions, angering both Democrats and some Republicans. Over a dozen Epstein survivors lambasted the DOJ on Monday for what they called "abnormal and extreme redactions with no explanation."

Trump has denied any wrongdoing and said he cut ties with Epstein in the early 2000s. In a 2024 social media post, Trump stated he "was never on Epstein's Plane, or at his 'stupid' Island." The prosecutor's email contains no allegations of criminal conduct by Trump.
Will the Justice Department face consequences for failing to meet the full transparency requirements of the Epstein Files Transparency Act?
