Donald Trump’s name reported to feature in DoJ files about Jeffrey Epstein
President Donald Trump’s name reportedly appears multiple times in Justice Department (DoJ) files related to convicted sex offender Jeffrey Epstein. Attorney General Pam Bondi informed Trump in a briefing to the White House in May 2025 that his name was included in these Epstein investigation files. Several other high-profile individuals were also reportedly named in these documents, although investigators found no concrete evidence such as a client list or wrongdoing directly linked to Trump. The context of Trump’s name in the files remains unclear, and the Justice Department deemed the allegations involving him as unverified and not credible for further investigation or prosecution.
Trump had a known association with Epstein in the 1990s and early 2000s, including records of his name appearing in Epstein’s contact book and flight logs. Despite this, Trump has denied involvement in any illegal activities connected to Epstein and has stated their relationship ended long before Epstein’s legal issues emerged. The White House has pushed back on the reports, calling some of the coverage “fake news,” although it has not denied that Trump’s name appears in some files.
This revelation has caused political controversy, especially since the Trump administration has resisted releasing more Epstein-related documents, leading to criticism from various supporters and lawmakers. Trump has also sued the Wall Street Journal over a disputed birthday note supposedly sent to Epstein, which the journal reported as containing suggestive language.
Donald Trump’s name appears in Justice Department files about Jeffrey Epstein, no evidence from those files has implicated him in criminal behavior, and the exact nature of the references remains vague. The administration’s handling of Epstein records and the disclosure of Trump’s name have stirred political backlash and media attention.
