Leaked Epstein Files Reference Trump, First Lady, and Key Administration Figures

Newly leaked documents related to convicted sex offender Jeffrey Epstein reportedly reference President Donald Trump, First Lady Melania Trump, and at least 11 individuals associated with the Trump administration, including campaign donors and top officials.

The documents, which reportedly contain more than 5,300 censored files, include over 38,000 mentions of Trump, his wife, and his Mar-a-Lago resort in Florida. Congressman Jamie Risken, who has access to uncensored files, claims the complete Epstein archives contain more than 1 million references to Trump. Some individuals are accused of inappropriate behavior, while others are noted for misrepresenting their relationships with Epstein.

Key references from the files include:

  • Howard Latnick, US Commerce Secretary, listed as Epstein’s business partner until 2014.
  • Dr. Mehmet Oz and his wife, who reportedly invited Epstein to a Valentine’s Day party at their home in 2016 and corresponded with him via coded email.
  • Tom Barrack, US ambassador to Turkey and special envoy for Syria, referenced over 500 times.
  • John Flynn, US Navy Secretary, recorded in flight logs traveling on Epstein’s private plane before Epstein’s indictment.
  • Robert F. Kennedy Jr., named by Epstein co-defendant Ghislaine Maxwell.
  • Kevin Warsh, Trump’s potential Federal Reserve chairman pick, listed as a guest at a 2010 Christmas party with Epstein.
  • Zampoli, Trump’s special envoy for global partnerships, reportedly continued inviting Epstein to events until 2010.

Other figures referenced include billionaire tech leaders Elon Musk and Peter Thiel. Musk has publicly claimed Epstein files were not released due to Trump’s involvement; his name reportedly appears over 1,000 times. Thiel’s discussions on the 2016 election and Trump-Silicon Valley meetings are also documented.

The files reportedly include evidence linking Melania Trump, then Melania Knauss, to Epstein and Maxwell, including a 2002 email to Maxwell and photographs showing interactions with Epstein and Trump.

While the documents reveal social, political, and business connections, there is no conclusive evidence of criminal wrongdoing for all individuals referenced. Investigators and reporters are continuing to analyze the files to determine the context and validity of these associations.

The leaked Epstein files underscore the extensive network of social, political, and financial ties surrounding Epstein, raising questions about accountability, influence, and access among high-profile figures during his lifetime.
