Trump travelled on Epstein’s plane more than previously thought, prosecutor says
Former President Donald Trump reportedly flew on Jeffrey Epstein’s private jet more frequently than previously believed, according to a statement from attorney David Boies, who represented several of Epstein’s victims. Boies stated that flight logs indicate Trump flew on the plane, known as the “Lolita Express,” at least 17 times, which is more than the four times Trump had acknowledged.
Epstein, a convicted sex offender who died by suicide in 2019 while awaiting trial on federal charges of sex trafficking minors, had a high-profile social circle that included various influential figures like Trump, Bill Clinton, and Prince Andrew. Trump had previously distanced himself from Epstein after his arrest in 2019, stating that the two had a falling out years before.
The revelation of Trump’s increased presence on Epstein’s plane has sparked renewed interest in their past association and has raised questions about the nature of their relationship. Trump’s representatives have not responded to requests for comments on Boies’ statement.
The new information presented by Boies adds another layer to the complicated history between Trump and Epstein, shedding light on a connection that has been subject to speculation and scrutiny in the past.
