周五发布的三百万份杰弗里·爱泼斯坦相关文件中，唐纳德·特朗普总统被提及超过1000次，尽管总统最初一直抵制这一公开文件的要求。其中一些提及是无关痛痒的，但也包括新披露的未经证实的针对特朗普的性侵指控，以及一些爱泼斯坦受害者描述与这位未来总统互动的新细节。
最值得注意的是，新发布的文件包含一份由联邦调查局（FBI）官员去年汇编的、针对特朗普的未经证实的袭击指控清单。此外，还有FBI关于一名女性在诉讼中指控特朗普在她13岁时对其实施强奸的记录，以及FBI对爱泼斯坦一名受害者的采访记录，该受害者称爱泼斯坦的同谋吉斯莱恩·麦克斯韦曾在一次派对上“将她介绍给”特朗普。
目前没有公开证据表明新文件中针对特朗普的任何指控被FBI认定为可信。司法部周五表示，文件中针对特朗普的指控是虚假的。特朗普长期以来一直否认与爱泼斯坦有任何不当行为或性不当行为指控。

这些披露提醒人们，尽管特朗普在就职时承诺会公开这些文件，但他最初强烈抵制这一要求。
国会最终不顾特朗普的反对，通过了一项法律，要求司法部在12月中旬前公布所有爱泼斯坦相关文件。司法部副部长托德·布兰奇表示，司法部周五“迟来地”完成了这一法律义务，发布了350万份文件，但他同时指出，根据法律例外情况，部分文件被扣留。
这些新细节也再次提醒人们，特朗普与性犯罪者爱泼斯坦（2019年自杀身亡）以及爱泼斯坦长期同伙麦克斯韦（目前因涉嫌性交易正在监狱服刑）有着数十年的友谊。
由于此次披露的文件数量极其庞大，目前很难全面梳理这些数百万份文件的全部内容。
在司法部爱泼斯坦网页上搜索“唐纳德·特朗普”，结果超过1800条，这一数字在周五白天因司法部网站似乎在索引更多文件而有所上升。其中许多提及是新闻文章，内容涉及爱泼斯坦在其任内期间提及特朗普的言论，以及他与记者和其他同伙（如史蒂夫·班农）就特朗普发表的评论。
布兰奇周五表示，白宫“未对爱泼斯坦调查相关文件的审查进行监督”。
“我要明确说明——他们与此审查无关，”布兰奇说，“他们没有对此次审查进行任何监督，没有告诉司法部如何进行审查、寻找什么内容、如何编辑或不编辑哪些内容。”
司法部在文件发布声明中称：“部分文件包含在2020年大选前提交给FBI的针对特朗普总统的不实和耸人听闻的指控。需要明确的是，这些指控毫无根据且是虚假的，如果它们有丝毫可信度，早就被用来攻击特朗普总统了。”
一份最引人注目的涉及特朗普的文件，是FBI官员今年8月汇编的一份包含十多项与特朗普有关指控的清单，其中许多指控似乎来自通过FBI国家威胁行动中心收到的未经证实的公众举报。
这些文件被收录在FBI纽约外勤局儿童剥削与人口贩卖特别工作组官员的电子邮件中。一名官员在解释如何分类这些指控时写道：“黄色高亮部分是‘低俗耸人听闻’的内容。”
目前尚不清楚为何这些指控在去年夏天被汇编。7月，FBI和司法部发布的一份备忘录称，没有证据表明爱泼斯坦拥有一份包含参与其所谓性交易和恋童癖地下网络的权贵名单。
这些指控似乎未经证实，且官员们指出其中一些是二手信息。FBI文件称，在许多情况下，没有与提出指控的个人取得联系，或者没有提供联系信息。
文件中还包含针对前总统比尔·克林顿的未经证实的指控，克林顿否认与爱泼斯坦有任何不当行为。
在特朗普两届白宫任期之间，他的许多盟友成为了右翼影响者和播客主。其中许多人，如现任FBI局长卡什·帕特尔，紧紧抓住爱泼斯坦事件，暗示司法部在保护民主党人和自由派名人，而在很大程度上忽视了特朗普与爱泼斯坦有据可查的关联。
在煽动共和党基础选民之后，去年对特朗普政府施加了压力，要求其利用对司法部和FBI的新权力，从档案中释放与爱泼斯坦相关的材料。司法部长帕姆·邦迪的早期尝试适得其反，她吹捧的新材料结果只是对已有公开文件的整理。
这导致共和党议员们纷纷呼吁全面公开爱泼斯坦文件。他们与民主党人合作，后者急于将这一问题作为打击特朗普的工具——此前已有十多名女性指控他性骚扰，而他在2023年的民事诽谤案中被E.让·卡罗尔起诉并被陪审团裁定对其进行性虐待（他否认所有指控，且从未被执法部门指控与爱泼斯坦有关的任何不当行为）。
特朗普竭力阻止国会通过该法律，并亲自在白宫游说共和党议员。但他最终被两党议员和公众的支持浪潮击败，放弃了反对。该法案几乎全票通过，特朗普于11月签署成为法律。
第一批文件于12月19日发布，即全部文件公开的最后期限。尽管只是部分发布，特朗普的名字却无处不在。
文件显示，联邦检察官在2020年收集的证据表明，特朗普在20世纪90年代多次乘坐爱泼斯坦的私人飞机。这一证据与特朗普此前的否认（包括2024年声称“我从未乘坐过爱泼斯坦的飞机”）相矛盾。
12月发布的文件还显示，司法部在2021年麦克斯韦刑事审判前传票传唤了特朗普的海湖庄园俱乐部。俱乐部的回应情况尚不清楚，但传票要求提供一名前海湖庄园员工的信息。
与周五发布的内容类似，特朗普任命的官员们再次强调这些披露包含针对特朗普的未经证实的举报，并发布了相同声明，称这些文件包含“2020年大选前提交给FBI的针对特朗普总统的不实和耸人听闻的指控”。
大量新材料进一步揭示了爱泼斯坦与众多民主党人士、名人及商人的关联。文件还显示，爱泼斯坦密切关注有关特朗普的新闻报道，并且与前特朗普顾问史蒂夫·班农的联系比之前已知的更加频繁。
周五发布的数百万页文件中，还包含FBI对爱泼斯坦受害者采访记录的新细节。尽管没有许多特朗普批评者期望的“实锤证据”，但这些文件让人们重新关注特朗普与性犯罪者之间长期存在的关联。
FBI的一份文件记录了一名爱泼斯坦受害者的陈述，称麦克斯韦曾在纽约的一次派对上将她“介绍给”特朗普，并随后向特朗普明确表示她“随时可用”，还说“哦，我想他喜欢你。你真幸运。这太棒了。”该女子告诉联邦调查局调查人员，她与特朗普之间“没有发生任何事情”。
另一份FBI备忘录包含了对2021年对爱泼斯坦最直言不讳的幸存者之一弗吉尼亚·吉弗尔的采访记录，吉弗尔于2025年4月自杀身亡。这份部分内容被编辑的备忘录显示，吉弗尔向调查人员讲述了她十几岁时在特朗普的海湖庄园俱乐部工作的经历，以及她如何从那里被招募为爱泼斯坦工作，还描述了她后来遭受爱泼斯坦性虐待的经历。
文件中还包含FBI表格，详细记录了一名女性指控唐纳德·特朗普在她13岁时对其实施强奸的投诉。
这位匿名原告简·多伊（Jane Doe）此前曾起诉特朗普并撤诉，最后一次撤诉是在2016年大选前。
FBI文件详细描述了她多次指控特朗普虐待的情况，包括强奸。文件还称，爱泼斯坦据称“对特朗普夺走多伊的贞操感到愤怒”，并且自己也实施了对多伊的强奸。这些描述与简·多伊在2016年诉讼中提出的指控一致。
特朗普此前否认了该女子的指控。
2016年诉讼撤诉后，爱泼斯坦向多名同伙发送了关于这一进展的邮件，这些邮件也出现在周五发布的文件中。此外，2016年4月，当路透社记者在诉讼提起后联系爱泼斯坦寻求评论时，爱泼斯坦还将相关邮件转发给了特朗普的朋友汤姆·巴拉。
“这很荒谬，但我想你们应该知道，”爱泼斯坦写道。
除了FBI的记录外，爱泼斯坦相关文件还包含多封电子邮件，让人们得以窥见这名性犯罪者在2016年当选总统后对其前朋友的看法。
爱泼斯坦与包括记者、高管和其他人士在内的多个同伙之间有大量电子邮件往来，其中不乏对特朗普的评论。
2018年12月，爱泼斯坦请求记者兼作家迈克尔·沃尔夫帮助反击一篇报道。这一交流发生在《迈阿密先驱报》发表深度调查文章几天后，该文章采访了数十名声称是爱泼斯坦虐待受害者的女性。
“我在想特朗普会怎么做，”爱泼斯坦在与沃尔夫交换想法时写道。
“他从不试图解释。他否认，指责媒体，贬低他人，”沃尔夫回应道，他当年出版了一本关于特朗普白宫的耸人听闻的书籍。
“全是关于唐纳德·特朗普，真正的反派，”沃尔夫补充道。
爱泼斯坦与前美国财政部长、哈佛大学校长拉里·萨默斯之间有多封电子邮件，讨论特朗普的总统竞选和第一任期。萨默斯此前告诉CNN，他对与爱泼斯坦的通信“深感羞愧”，并于11月从哈佛休假离职。
2016年10月，萨默斯问爱泼斯坦：“特朗普真的是可卡因使用者的说法有多可信？”
“毫无可能，”爱泼斯坦回复。
2017年7月讨论特朗普外交政策时，萨默斯写道：“我认为你的朋友精神有问题。”
“不是我的朋友，”爱泼斯坦回应，“我之前就告诉过你。”

What 3 million new documents tell us about Trump’s ties to Jeffrey Epstein
2026-01-31T15:07:38.061Z / CNN
President Donald Trump is mentioned more than 1,000 times in the three million Jeffrey Epstein documents released Friday, after the president initially resisted the effort. While some of the references are benign, others include newly disclosed unverified sexual assault claims against Trump as well as fresh details about how some of Epstein’s victims described their interactions with the future president.
Most notably, the newly released documents contain a list of unverified assault allegations against Trump compiled by FBI officials last year. There are also FBI notes about a woman who accused Trump in a lawsuit of raping her when she was 13, and an FBI interview with one of Epstein’s victims who stated that Epstein’s accomplice Ghislane Maxwell once “presented her” to Trump at a party.
There’s no public evidence that the any of the allegations against Trump contained in the new documents were deemed credible by the FBI, and the Justice Department said on Friday that the allegations against Trump in the documents were false. Trump has long denied any wrongdoing related to Epstein or any allegation of sexual misconduct.

The revelations serve as a reminder of Trump’s initial resistance against releasing the files, despite pledging to do so when he took office.
Congress ultimately bucked Trump and passed a law forcing the Justice Department to release all of the Epstein files by mid-December. Deputy Attorney General Todd Blanche said the Justice Department belatedly completed that duty on Friday with its release of 3.5 million documents, though Blanche said some documents were withheld under exceptions to the law.
The new details are also a reminder of Trump’s decades-long friendship with Epstein, a convicted sex offender who died by suicide in 2019, and Maxwell, Epstein’s longtime associate who is currently in prison for sex trafficking.
It’s hard to capture at this point the full scope of what’s contained in the millions of documents that were put online Friday morning, due to the sheer enormity of the release.
A search of the Justice Department’s Epstein website for “Donald Trump” yielded more than 1,800 hits, a number that rose during the day Friday as the DOJ website seemingly indexed more files. Many of those references are news articles mentioning Trump during his presidency that Epstein shared with others, as well as his commentary about Trump with a mix of journalists and other associates, like Steve Bannon.
Blanche said Friday the White House had “no oversight” of the review of documents related to the Epstein investigation.
“Let me just be clear — they had nothing to do with this review,” Blanche said. “They had no oversight over this review. They did not tell this department how to do our review, what to look for, what to redact, what to not redact.”
The Justice Department said in its release that “some of the documents contain untrue and sensationalist claims against President Trump that were submitted to the FBI right before the 2020 election. To be clear, the claims are unfounded and false and if they have a shred of credibility, they certainly would have been weaponized against President Trump already.”
One of the most intriguing documents involving Trump was a list officials at the FBI compiled this past August with of more than a dozen allegations related to Trump , many of which appear to have come from unverified tips through the FBI’s National Threat Operations Center, which takes tips from the public.
The documents were included in emails that were sent by officials in the FBI’s New York field office on the Child Exploitation & Human Trafficking Task Force. “Yellow highlighting is for the salacious piece,” one official wrote to explain how the allegations were being sorted.
It’s not clear why the allegations were compiled last summer. In July, the FBI and DOJ released a memo claiming there was no evidence that Epstein had a list of powerful men who participated in his alleged underworld of sex trafficking and pedophilia.
The allegations appear to be unverified, and officials note that some are secondhand information. The FBI document says that in many instances, there was no contact made with the individuals who sent in the allegations, or no contact information was provided.
There are also unverified allegations made in the document against former President Bill Clinton, who has denied wrongdoing related to Epstein.
Between Trump’s stints in the White House, many of his allies became right-wing influencers and podcasters. And many, like now-FBI Director Kash Patel, latched onto the Epstein saga and suggested that the Justice Department was protecting Democrats and liberal celebrities – while largely ignoring Trump’s well-documented ties to Epstein.
After whipping up activists in the GOP base, pressure built last year on the Trump administration to use its new powers over the DOJ and FBI to release Epstein-related materials from the vault. One early attempt by Attorney General Pam Bondi backfired when new materials she touted ended up being a curation of already public filings.
This led to a drumbeat of Republican lawmakers calling for the full release of the Epstein files. They worked with Democrats who were eager to use the issue as a cudgel against a man that many of them saw as a sexual predator, after more than a dozen women accused him of assault and harassment and he was found liable by a jury in 2023 for sexually abusing E. Jean Carroll in a civil defamation case. (He denies all of these allegations and hasn’t ever been accused by law enforcement of any wrongdoing related to Epstein.)
Trump fought hard to stop Congress from passing the law and personally lobbied individual GOP members at the White House. But he was outmaneuvered by a bipartisan groundswell of support from lawmakers and the public, and eventually dropped his opposition. The bill passed nearly unanimously and Trump signed it into law in November.
The first wave of releases began on December 19, which was the deadline to release everything. Even though it was only a partial release, Trump’s name was all over it.
The documents revealed that federal prosecutors collected evidence in 2020 that Trump flew on Epstein’s private plane multiple times in the 1990s. This blew a hole in Trump’s previous denials, including a 2024 statement that “I was never on Epstein’s Plane.”
The December documents also revealed that the Justice Department subpoenaed Trump’s Mar-a-Lago club before Maxwell’s criminal trial in 2021. It’s unclear how the club responded. But the document requested information about a former Mar-a-Lago employee.
Just as they did on Friday, Trump appointees went out of their way to make clear that these disclosures also contained unverified tips about Trump, releasing the same statement that the files contained “untrue and sensationalist claims made against President Trump that were submitted to the FBI right before the 2020 election.”
A lot of the new material further enhanced the public’s understanding of Epstein’s ties to a wide array of Democratic figures, celebrities, and businesspeople. The files also made clear that Epstein closely followed news stories about Trump – and that he was in much more regular contact with former Trump adviser Steve Bannon than previously known.
Included among the millions of pages of documents released Friday were new details from the FBI’s interview notes with Epstein’s victims. While there was no smoking gun that many of Trump’s critics had hoped for, the documents brought new attention to Trump’s longstanding ties to a sexual predator.
One FBI memo from an Epstein victim contained allegations that Maxwell once “presented” her to Trump at a party in New York and later made clear to Trump that she was “available,” telling her, “Oh I think he likes you. Aren’t you lucky. This is great,” according to the document. The woman told federal investigators that “nothing happened” between her and Trump.
Another FBI memo contained notes from an apparent 2021 interview with Virginia Giuffre, one of the most outspoken Epstein survivors, who died by suicide in April 2025. The partially redacted memo indicates that Giuffre told investigators about working as a teenager at Trump’s Mar-a-Lago club, how she was recruited from there to work for Epstein, and about the sexual abuse she says she was later subjected to by Epstein.
The files also included an FBI form that details a complaint from a woman who accused Donald Trump of raping her when she was 13 years old.
This anonymous accuser, Jane Doe, previously launched lawsuits against Trump and dropped them, the last right before the 2016 election.
The FBI document details multiple instances where she alleged abuse by Trump, including rape. It also says Epstein was allegedly “angry that Trump was the one to take Doe’s virginity” and also raped Doe. These descriptions mirror the allegations that Jane Doe made in her 2016 lawsuit.
Trump had previously denied the woman’s allegations.
When the lawsuit was dropped in 2016, Epstein emailed stories about the development to multiple associates, which were included in the files released Friday. There are also emails Epstein forwarded to Trump’s friend Tom Barrack in April 2016 when a Reuters reporter reached out to Epstein for comment after the lawsuit was filed.
“Nuts but i thought you guys should know,” Epstein wrote.
Beyond the FBI notes, the Epstein documents contain multiple emails that offer a glimpse into the convicted sex offender’s view of his former friend after he was elected president in 2016.
Epstein emails with a range of associates, including journalists, executives and others, with plenty of commentary about Trump.
In December 2018, Epstein asked journalist and author Michael Wolff for help pushing back against a story. Their exchange came just days after the Miami Herald published a deep investigation with interviews with dozens of women who said they were victims of Epstein’s abuse.
“Im thinking what would trump do,” Epstein wrote to Wolff as they bounced ideas off one another.
“He never tries to explain. He denies, blames media, denigrates someone else,” responded Wolff, who had written a salacious book about Trump’s White House that year.
“All about Donald Trump, the real villain,” Wolff followed up.
There are multiple emails between Epstein and Larry Summers, the former US treasury secretary and Harvard University president, discussing Trump’s presidential campaign and first term. Summers previously told CNN he is “deeply ashamed” of his correspondences with Epstein and took leave from teaching at Harvard in November.
In October 2016, Summers asked Epstein: “How plausible is idea t=at trump is real cocaine user?”
“Zero,” Epstein replied.
While discussing Trump’s foreign policy in July 2017, Summers wrote to Epstein: “I think your friend is mentally ill.”
“Not my friend,” Epstein responded, “and i ve told you that before.”
