Demand Full Investigation of Trump's Epstein Connections

The recent Justice Department document release under the Epstein Files Transparency Act reveals deeply troubling connections between President Trump and convicted sex offender Jeffrey Epstein that demand a comprehensive criminal investigation. An email dated January 8, 2020, from an assistant US attorney in the Southern District of New York shows flight records documenting Trump traveled on Epstein's private jet at least eight times between 1993 and 1996, including at least four flights where Ghislaine Maxwell was present. On one 1993 flight, Trump and Epstein were the only two passengers listed. On another flight, the only three passengers were Epstein, Trump, and a then-20-year-old. These revelations contradict Trump's public claims about his relationship with Epstein. While Trump has characterized Epstein as merely an acquaintance he banned from Mar-a-Lago, the flight records demonstrate repeated private travel together during the same period Trump praised Epstein in a 2002 New York Magazine profile as "a terrific guy" who "likes beautiful women as much as I do, and many of them are on the younger side." Additional documents show a 2021 subpoena to Mar-a-Lago demanding employment records related to the Maxwell investigation. Virginia Giuffre, a prominent Epstein accuser, stated Maxwell recruited her from Mar-a-Lago where she worked at age 16 or 17. Furthermore, a handwritten letter signed by J. Epstein and sent to convicted sex offender Larry Nassar in August 2019 stated "Our president also shares our love of young, nubile girls," referring to Trump who was president at the time. These documents raise serious questions about Trump's knowledge of and potential involvement in Epstein's criminal enterprise. I urge you to call for a full criminal investigation into Trump's relationship with Epstein and Maxwell, including testimony under oath about his flights on Epstein's jet, his knowledge of Epstein's activities, and any connections between Mar-a-Lago employees and Epstein's trafficking operation. No one, regardless of position, should be above accountability for potential involvement in sex trafficking.
