PEOPLE reviewed the flight logs and found Trump’s name a total of seven times. He was mentioned on page 24 of the first flight log, dated Oct. 11, 1993. He was also mentioned twice on page 27, along with his then-wifeMarla Maples, their daughterTiffany Trumpand a nanny on May 15, 1994. All three of those dates had “JE” (Jeff Epstein) listed on the same flights as Trump. GM, possiblyGhislane Maxwell, was listed as a passenger on the October 1993 flight.
The release of the files related to the financier accused of sex trafficking came a day after Attorney GeneralPam Bondisaid onFox Newsthat the Justice Department was set to release flight logs and names of people associated with Epstein.
“What you’re going to see … is a lot of flight logs, a lot of names, a lot of information,” Bondi told Jesse Watters. “But, it’s pretty sick what that man did, along with his co-defendant.”

Bondi said Epstein had more than 250 alleged victims.
“The first phase of files released today sheds light on Epstein’s extensive network and begins to provide the public with long overdue accountability,” Bondi said in astatement, in part, on Thursday.
The first materials released included flight logs, an evidence list, redacted pages from a contact book and redacted pages of a masseuse list. Much of the files had been previously disclosed through court cases or otherwise.
The appearance of a person’s name on the flight logs is not an indication of wrongdoing; most of the individuals listed were presumably on Epstein’s plane for legitimate business, political, or social reasons.
