The U.S. Department of Justice has released new documents related to the Jeffrey Epstein case, sparking widespread discussion. The released files include prosecutor correspondence, official records, flight logs, and documents concerning Epstein's death in prison.
The editorial, citing The New York Times, reports that an analysis published by the newspaper indicates hundreds of references to U.S. President Donald Trump's name in the documents. According to the analysis, while some of these references are from media materials, certain records directly pertain to flights conducted on Epstein's private plane, named “Lolita Express.”
According to the information, U.S. President Donald Trump flew as a passenger on Epstein's Boeing 727-100 aircraft eight times between 1993 and 1996. The documents show that Ghislaine Maxwell, who was later convicted of sex trafficking, was also on some of these flights, and possible witnesses were on board some of the trips.
The newspaper's analysis emphasizes that although a large portion of the documents have been verified by U.S. official bodies, no criminal charges have been brought against U.S. President Donald Trump or other influential individuals to date. Despite this, the released materials continue to cause political and legal disputes both within the U.S. and internationally.
