Summary

Donald Trump’s name appears in Jeffrey Epstein’s recently released flight logs seven times, including flights in 1993 and 1994, some with his then-wife Marla Maples and daughter Tiffany.

The documents were released by Attorney General Pam Bondi, who stated this was the first phase of disclosures regarding Epstein’s network.

Bondi requested additional FBI records on Epstein, citing thousands of undisclosed pages.

Epstein, who died in 2019, had connections to Trump, Bill Clinton, and Prince Andrew, though no wrongdoing by Trump has been alleged.

      For a second there I was thinking about the circumstances surrounding Ivana Trump’s mysterious staircase death.

        Isn’t it in a book, that trump shoved her down the stairs? Or maybe I’m confusing that with when he just beat her. IDK

      Noooo. No no no. He was inspecting the teen beauty pageant when he walked into the dressing room full of naked minors. You don’t understand. When you’re famous, they let you do it!

      Anyway, those trans people sure are bad, huh?

    “No wrongdoing by Trump has been alleged.”

    FFS

    I am alleging it now and have alleged it for years: Donald J Trump joined convicted pedophile and sexual abuser Jeffery Epstein in raping an underage girl.

      I was questioning that too. I’m certain I’ve read allegations of wrongdoing, i.e. sex with a minor, attributed to Trump. Why are they saying otherwise? (no need to answer that, I think we know)

        I think the article means court case or criminal charges. It’s been implied or stated, but no courtroom allegations or cases. Edit: I hope that’s what is meant

    Why is this a surprise? It’s undisputed that trump knew Epstein and hung out with him. He even raped a girl who was also “hanging around” Epstein for lack of a better word.

      For anyone paying attention, it’s no surprise. To the people who blindly follow him, though…well, they’ll probably never hear about this or just brush it off as some liberal shadow government conspiracy against him.

      It’s a bit surprising he didn’t have them censor all references to him before releasing the files. I’m surprised any time this administration doesn’t do the most corrupt and evil thing possible.

        Why even bother? He could rape a baby and then eat it in front of its mother and his supporters would keep supporting him.

        Fair. But they’ve already “so what if I did?” whitewashed his association with Epstein already, so releasing the passenger log seems like a non-event to me.

    No wrongdoing by Trump has been alleged.

    BECAUSE HE SETTLED THE CIVIL SUIT, A TACIT ADMISSION THAT THEY RAPED A THIRTEEN-YEAR-OLD TOGETHER.

    I wish the media would just be straight with us. Obligatory “Fuck Reagan”.

    Let’s be honest: If Epstein was still alive and in prison, he would get a pardon from Trump

    Of course he is. He has been seen and fotographed with Epstein, I think he had even called him a friend. It would be suspect if he would not appear in a number of documents in this case.

    Unless they release verifiably unredacted/unedited documents (and I’m not sure whether/if verifably unredacted/unedited documents are possible in this circumstance) I’m not going to believe they aren’t holding things back out of self preservation anyhow.

    The worst possible time for anything like this to be released is during the Trump admin, because now I have to apply an extra layer of skepticism.

    I don’t even have to go to a conservative sub to know they are or will handwave away his presence on the flight logs, and I know nothing worse is going to be released about Trump or any Trump ally, so what’s even the point aside from a witch hunt for all Trump’s enemies who somehow will be on the list?

    To be clear, I’m sure that Democrats and a disappointingly long list of non-politicians are on that list too, and they should all see the light of day.

      Well, also the flight logs alone doesn’t mean much. It’s certainly suspicious, but it’s not damning. There was more than one reason to associate with Epstein.

      You need more than just flight logs. The suspect would have to say something about “he likes them young, like me” or something similar.

        Yeah, you’d need something like Trump saying that he liked to surprise the young contestants at the Trump Beauty Pagents by opening the doors of the changing rooms while the girls were naked.

        Oh, he did say that? Oh. He also talked about flying on his private jet with Epstein and some of the girls to the pagents? Oh.

        From what I remember the last time this list was circulated, this is the entire flight log of a private pilot who flew to Epstein’s island among other places. So being on the log doesn’t even mean you knew Epstein, just that you used the same pilot.

        He’s already said that he will not release this information. I’m not sure why this is surprising anyone. They’re releasing stuff that was already out there. None of this is new and there won’t be anything new at least until the next administration if ever.

    So? You think this will change anything? Just add it to the pile of shit this cheddar-faced fuck has been involved with. It’s not like there’s a higher authority that can do anything about it. I feel like it’s still not setting in for some people just where we are in this collapse. It’s over, guys. There is only 1 path forward.
