The release of new documes from the Epstein case; New trouble for Trump’s allies – Mehr News agency RCO News Agency
According to RCO News Agency, citing CNN, the US Departme of Justice announced on Friday the release of a very large collection of Jeffrey Epstein’s files, including more than three million pages; According to this ministry, this action was taken in line with the obligations arising from the transparency law approved by the Congress last year.
The sheer volume of documes related to this sex offender means that it will take a long time to fully review them.
The name of Donald Trump, the preside of the United States of America, is seen many times in the new docume collection; Documes that range from research reports to emails and news clippings.
First, there is a chain of emails from August 2025 in which a person purporting to be an FBI employee provides a list of apparely unverified reports about Trump and Epstein, many of which are coroversial and scandalous in nature.
So far, Trump has never been accused by law enforceme agencies of committing any wrongdoing related to Epstein and has denied any involveme in such actions.
It’s not clear why authorities compiled a list of allegations linked to Trump last year. But the political sensitivities surrounding Trump’s closeness to Epstein, who was with him for years and is said to have broken up in the mid-2000s, were revealed last year; When Trump at one poi mistakenly said his name was not meioned in the files.
One of the main reasons for the long wait for the files to be released was the hope of ideifying others who may have been involved in Epstein’s crimes. Only Gillian Maxwell (Epstein’s partner) was charged, but many Americans believe others were involved.
A draft indictme from the U.S. Attorney’s Office for the Southern District of Florida in the 2000s charged Epstein, along with three others (whose names have been redacted); People who have been described mainly as facilitators of dating between Epstein and the teenage girls.
The docume states that they all conspired to “encourage, encourage and deceive persons under the age of 18 to eer prostitution.”
CNN wrote: The release of the new documes may be problematic for some figures, including promine Trump allies who have tried to distance themselves from Epstein.
The documes show that Trump administration Secretary of Commerce Howard Lutnick was planning a trip to Epstein Island in 2012, years after he said he had cut ties with Epstein.
Lutnick said on a podcast last year that he and his wife decided around 2005 to no longer have anything to do with Epstein. But the 2012 email shows her asking where Epstein was so they could meet for a meal.
Another email shows Lutnick inviting Epstein (via an assista) to a fundraiser for Democratic presideial candidate Hillary Clion in 2015. It is not clear whether Epstein was prese at the ceremony or not.
The documes also show that Elon Musk, the tech billionaire, tried to make trips to Epstein’s island in 2012 and 2013, despite having previously said that he had declined Epstein’s invitations.
On November 24, 2012, Epstein emails Musk and asks, “How many people will you have for the helicopter flight to the island?” Probably just him and his then-wife, Musk replies.
The documes still coain significa references to Bill Clion; Including Epstein’s testimony in 2016, where he repeatedly invokes the Fifth Amendme (right to refuse to answer) when asked about Clion.
Clion’s spokesperson has repeatedly said that she cut ties with Epstein before he was accused in 2006 and had no knowledge of his crimes, and also denied traveling to Epstein’s island.
The documes also reveal an extensive relationship between Epstein and former Trump adviser Steve Bannon, which could increase pressure to explain the relationship.
