A major new batch of thousands more files relating to Jeffrey Epstein has been released by the US Justice Department, featuring many more references to Donald Trump than earlier batches contained.
The documents were released overnight on Tuesday and include a claim that Trump was on a flight with Epstein and a 20-year-old woman in the 1990s. There is no indication that the woman was a victim of any crime and being included in the files does not indicate any criminal wrongdoing.
The US Department of Justice was legally required to publish the documents by the end of last week. The first cache of ‘Epstein Files’ were released on Friday evening after months of delay and stalling from the Trump administration.
Deputy attorney general Todd Blanche told Fox News that he expected the department to release several hundred thousand more files in the coming weeks.
We’ll bring you further updates as we go through the latest tranche.
