The US Justice Department on Friday published more than three million new files related to the convicted sex offender Jeffrey Epstein, a month after a law required them to release the entire files. US President Donald Trump’s name appears again, in one document, where there are several allegations about him from an FBI tip line, which investigators at the time deemed not credible.

The new files released by Deputy US Attorney General Todd Blanche include 180,000 images and 2,000 videos. Most of the documents are still heavily redacted as anything identifying victims, depicting child abuse or death have been removed. The faces of any women who appear in the files, other than Ghislaine Maxwell, have been blurred.

Blanche told Fox News that “in none of these communications, even when doing his best to disparage President Trump, did Epstein suggest President Trump had done anything criminal or had any inappropriate contact with any of his victims."

“During the course of our investigation, we seized years and years’ worth of Epstein’s personal emails," he said. “These are communications with hundreds and hundreds of individuals discussing intimate details of Epstein’s and others’ lives."

“In none of these communications, even when doing his best to disparage President Trump, did Epstein suggest President Trump had done anything criminal or had any inappropriate contact with any of his victims," Blanche said.

Where Is Trump Mentioned?

Trump is mentioned hundreds of times in the newly released files, according to the Justice Department’s website. Among the new documents is a list compiled by the FBI last year of allegations of sexual abuse made against Trump, Epstein and other high-profile figures.

One file details what appeared to be internal emails by federal investigators looking into salacious accusations involving Trump and Epstein. The emails, all from August 2025, give no indication that any claims had been substantiated, and investigators noted several of the accusers were deemed not credible.

Another message, whose sender and recipient were both redacted, reads, “What does JE think of going to Mar-a-Lago after xmas instead of his island?" referring to Trump’s Florida club. The message is from 2012, years after Trump said the two men stopped socialising. The files also included what appeared to be a 2002 email from Melania Trump to Ghislaine Maxwell, Epstein’s partner and co-conspirator, about a New York Magazine piece on Epstein.

Trump has consistently denied any wrongdoing in relation to Epstein and has not been accused of any crimes by Epstein’s victims. When asked about the latest allegations, the White House and the Department of Justice denied the claims.

“Some of the documents contain untrue and sensationalist claims against President Trump that were submitted to the FBI right before the 2020 election,," the White House said in a statement. “To be clear, the claims are unfounded and false, and if they have a shred of credibility, they certainly would have been weaponised against President Trump already."
