Epstein flight records from 1993 to 1997 predate island purchase and later allegations

Factcheck:
The Dec 23, 2025, DOJ Epstein file release includes a Jan 2020 email from an SDNY Asst US Attorney noting Trump on Epstein’s jet at least 8 times (1993-1996), more than prior reports, with some during potential Maxwell case timeline. Includes solo flight with Epstein and one with a redacted 20-year-old. DOJ labels some Trump claims “unfounded and false.” No evidence of wrongdoing. Sources: DOJ, Guardian, KATV, NY Post.
