The Department of Justice on Saturday released the largest batch of Jeffrey Epstein files to date, a giant tranche including 3 million more pages of documents and thousands of videos and images.
The documents shed new light on the disgraced financier’s relationships with several prominent figures, including Elon Musk, Bill Gates and US Commerce Secretary Howard Lutnick. They also contain a significant number of uncorroborated tips to law enforcement.
Here are what the files showed about several of those men:
President Donald Trump
The files appeared to contain at least 4500 documents mentioning Trump. One was a summary, assembled by FBI officials last summer, of more than a dozen public tips involving Trump and Epstein, according to emails released by the Department of Justice.

It is unclear why the investigators put together the summary, which includes accusations of sexual abuse by Epstein and Trump. The emails did not include any corroborating evidence, and The New York Times is not describing the details of the unverified claims.

Trump has denied any wrongdoing in connection with Epstein. In response to a request for comment, the White House referred to a public statement from the Justice Department, which said that Friday’s documents “may include fake or falsely submitted images, documents or videos”.
Many of the other documents were news articles or emails that referenced Trump.
Bill Gates
