New York Times Uncovers 5,300+ Epstein Files Mentioning Trump in Exhaustive Analysis

Source: MEDIAite

Feb 1st, 2026, 6:10 pm


The New York Times did a deep dive into the latest files tied to pedophile Jeffrey Epstein on Sunday and found that President Donald Trump’s named appeared in more than 5,300 of the documents.

The Times piece said reporters used a “propriety search tool,” and found “more than 38,000 references to Mr. Trump, his wife, his Mar-a-Lago club in Florida, and other related words and phrases in the latest batch of emails, government files, videos and other records released by the Justice Department.”

The Times added, “Previous installments of the Epstein files, which the department released late last year, included another 130 files with Trump-related references.”

“The files are peppered with references to Mr. Trump, who had been a close friend of Mr. Epstein’s until the early 2000s. While Mr. Trump has repeatedly downplayed the relationship, the two men bonded over their pursuit of young women. Mr. Trump has denied any wrongdoing in connection to Mr. Epstein,” the report continued.

Trump is named in “unverified tips” received by the F.B.I. — Trump appears in “more than a dozen tips submitted through the F.B.I.’s National Threat Operations Center in West Virginia,” the report said. “Some of the tips include accusations of sexual abuse by Mr. Trump and Mr. Epstein. F.B.I. officials last summer compiled the tips into a summary, which was among the files released on Friday.”

The Times gave examples of some of the mentions, including “handwritten notes from one interview in September 2019 — about a month after Mr. Epstein died by suicide in a Manhattan jail — say that a victim, whose name has been redacted, recalled being transported in a dark green car to Mar-a-Lago to meet Mr. Trump.”

“’This is a good one, huh?’ the victim recalls Mr. Epstein saying to Mr. Trump. The notes do not suggest misconduct by Mr. Trump.”


The files include emails from a woman named “Melania.” — Three years before Trump married Melania Knavs, “a woman named Melania wrote a warm email to Ghislaine Maxwell, Mr. Epstein’s longtime associate who is now serving a 20-year prison sentence after being convicted of participating in his sex-trafficking operation.”

So is the big grin he carefully plasters on his face for these photo ops. All of it is an act. Ever since the carefully posed mug shot, I can't help noticing that he has a repertoire of poses and acial expressions that he uses when he's being photographed. This is one of them.

There's also the "serious business" pose (standing up as straight as he can + a fake solemn face), the angry tough guy one (the mug shot was shot was a classic example), the "shake hands with a world leader and pull them as close to him as possible while (fake) beaming genially" pose, and no doubt more that I haven't thought off. All of them make me want to hurl.🤢

What those 6 piles of shit on the SC and all those stupid racist voters allow that fat orange imbecile to get away with. Mind-numbing. Literally a strategy of hatred and payback and supported by countless millionaires and billionaires. To me, it always seems like our party is just taking the first steps up a tall mountain to overcome this madness. Just need to vent a bit. Press onward!

Putin added to the list to show the scale of the pedophilia empire. Another source (I can't relocate) put it almost as high as Trump and listed Musk heavily as well, including extensive communication between Musk and Putin. They all have Kompromat on one another.

it makes sense. money laundering, blackmail and extortion, human sex trafficking of children, the whole nasty bit.

would explain why he has so much support: he's got kompramat on half the republicans in government.

the last 3 million or so documents probably, along with revealing the extent of the depravity, also contain the financial documents that would provide evidence.

that's my theory and as I said, it makes sense.

It could be programmed to perform redaction tasks, making everything legal with the files, though photo's could be a challenge, as well as email addresses.
