The TOI correspondent from Washington: The email tranche in the newly disclosed govt files on Jeffrey Epstein, released by the US justice department on Friday, appear to have been drafted for his own records or potentially on behalf of third parties; they are not corroborated by independent evidence.
References to President Trump appear hundreds of times across emails, FBI memoranda and media clippings included in the release. A 2025 FBI email chain summarises over a dozen anonymous tips accusing Trump of sexual abuse connected to Epstein, with sordid parties and activities too graphic to describe. Trump has long denied any involvement in Epstein’s abuses and has said his social ties with the latter ended in the mid-2000s after a falling out.
