In a bombshell December 23, 2025, Justice Department release of nearly 30,000 pages from Jeffrey Epstein’s long-hidden archive, previously unknown flight logs reveal President Donald Trump took at least eight trips on the infamous Lolita Express in the 1990s—far more than reported—including one solo flight with just Epstein and a redacted 20-year-old woman, plus others alongside Ghislaine Maxwell, his then-wife Marla Maples, and young children Eric and Tiffany.T

In a staggered rollout that has stretched into late December 2025, the U.S. Justice Department has released tens of thousands of pages from Jeffrey Epstein’s investigative files, mandated by the Epstein Files Transparency Act signed by President Trump. Initial batches on December 19 included photos and evidence, followed by over 11,000 additional documents on December 23—totaling nearly 30,000 pages—with promises of more amid the discovery of over a million extra records.

Central to the revelations are expanded private jet flight logs from Epstein’s “Lolita Express.” A 2020 prosecutor’s email highlights Donald Trump flying on the plane at least eight times in the 1990s, more than previously known, including trips with family members like Marla Maples, Eric, and Tiffany Trump, and one flight listing only Epstein, Trump, and a redacted 20-year-old woman. Four flights included Ghislaine Maxwell. Subpoenas to Mar-a-Lago sought employment records tied to victim recruitment, underscoring proximity to Epstein’s operations.

Former President Bill Clinton appears in multiple photos with Epstein and Maxwell, reinforcing his documented flights for Clinton Foundation work. Other elites surface: Bill Gates in plane photos with Prince Andrew; Woody Allen and Steve Bannon in estate images; celebrities like Michael Jackson and Mick Jagger.

Heavy redactions shield potential co-conspirators—seven names blacked out in a 2019 email tracking 10 accomplices—drawing bipartisan criticism for delaying full transparency. Victims’ advocates decry protections for the powerful, while lawmakers like Ro Khanna and Thomas Massie demand audits.

The DOJ insists releases prioritize victim privacy, dismissing some claims as false. Yet the drip-feed—delayed by newfound documents—intensifies scrutiny on elite networks that enabled Epstein’s crimes for decades, raising questions about accountability in Washington’s highest circles.
