UPDATE: Former President Donald Trump is calling for the names of prominent Democrats linked to convicted sex offender Jeffrey Epstein to be publicly released, stating they should be “embarrassed” by their associations. This urgent demand comes as thousands of files related to Epstein’s estate were released by the Department of Justice (DoJ) on December 23, 2025.
In a post on his Truth social media platform, Trump characterized the release as part of a “witch hunt” and a “Democrat-inspired hoax.” He claimed, “The Dems are the ones who worked with Epstein, not the Republicans. Release all of their names, embarrass them, and get back to helping our Country!”
The latest trove of information includes almost 30,000 pages of documents, some of which contain heavily redacted evidence concerning various high-profile individuals. Critics have accused prosecutors of drip-feeding this information and missing the December 19 deadline for a full release. The DoJ stated this redaction is necessary to protect victims’ anonymity.
As part of the release, the DoJ confirmed that some documents included “untrue and sensationalist claims” made against Trump, stating these were submitted to the FBI right before the 2020 election. Among these claims is an email revealing Trump traveled on Epstein’s private plane “many more times than previously reported,” with records showing he was a passenger on at least eight flights between 1993 and 1996.
Images released from the files include former President Bill Clinton interacting with Epstein’s former associate, Ghislaine Maxwell, suggesting a connection that has drawn intense scrutiny. Clinton was photographed swimming with Maxwell and dining alongside Mick Jagger of the Rolling Stones. Importantly, the DoJ clarified that an individual’s presence in these images does not imply wrongdoing.
In a dramatic turn, U.S. authorities announced on Christmas Eve that they uncovered over a million additional documents potentially relevant to the investigation. The origin of these files remains unclear, but the DoJ has been informed.
The Department reiterated its commitment to compliance with federal law, stating, “We have lawyers working around the clock to review and make the legally required redactions to protect victims, and we will release the documents as soon as possible.” However, they cautioned that due to the sheer volume of material, this process may take several more weeks.
The implications of these developments are significant, as they not only impact the reputations of prominent political figures but also raise critical questions about transparency and accountability in high-profile cases. As the situation evolves, all eyes are on how the DoJ will handle these sensitive disclosures and the fallout they may provoke.
