The Trump administration’s claim that there are no more Jeffrey Epstein files to be released has been contradicted by previously shared documents from the Department of Justice.

Numerous pages of flight records, which have been disclosed publicly, list the individuals who were passengers on Epstein’s private aircraft, famously known as the ‘Lolita Express’, between 2010 and 2019.

However, the extensive collection of records, acquired by Daily Mail via a Freedom of Information Act (FOIA) request, have significant redactions to shield the identities of those who traveled to Epstein’s residences in the Caribbean, New Mexico, and other undisclosed places.

This is despite the fact that other flight logs that have been previously released – some during Epstein-related court cases – were done so without redactions and included the names of passengers. 

US Rep. Tim Burchett, who has long called for transparency in the Epstein case, told Daily Mail that the redactions should be removed.

‘It should all be made public,’ the Tennessee Republican said. ‘I’m especially interested in anything that relates to activity on Epstein’s island as that’s where most of the criminality took place.

‘But I worry that we’re never going to know the truth. I think there’s been a cover up’.

Passengers who flew on Jeffrey Epstein’s infamous private jet have long drawn scrutiny in the ongoing investigation

The disgraced financier traveled frequently with friends and associates such as his so-called madame Ghislaine Maxwell on his plane, dubbed the ‘Lolita Express’ to his homes in the Caribbean, New Mexico and other locations.

The White House’s recent handling of documents related to Epstein’s sex trafficking case triggered a civil war within the MAGA world this week, after a memo drafted by the Department of Justice and the FBI announced there was no need to review the files any further. 

Attorney General Pam Bondi, FBI Director Kash Patel, and Deputy Director Dan Bongino now say there is nothing left to release to the public regarding the case.

This is after Bondi had said earlier this year that she had Epstein’s list of high-profile clients on her desk ready for review and release.

Even President Trump was forced to address the outrage during a cabinet meeting this week when he told his supporters to move on from it.

A visibly irate Trump said: ‘Are you still talking about Jeffrey Epstein? This guy’s been talked about for years. Are people still talking about this guy? This creep? That is unbelievable’.

The 1,506 pages obtained by DailyMail.com show Epstein’s name, but nearly every other name is blacked out. 

While flying on Epstein’s jet does not prove criminal conduct, the identities of his passengers could reveal the scope of his network as well as who had access to his properties. 

Unsealing the names would also be consistent with policy in the 2021 trial of Epstein’s so-called madame, Ghislaine Maxwell, during which previously-redacted names were released, revealing a who’s who of his inner circle. 

A newly released trove of Epstein flight logs, obtained by DailyMail.com through a Freedom of Information Act request, is heavily redacted, protecting the identity of passengers, despite some having been already unsealed in the past 

The redacted list that the Daily Mail obtained goes right up to Epstein’s final flight to Teterboro Airport in New Jersey in July 2019, which ended with his arrest and incarceration.

They covered a period between 1991 to 2005 and included powerful friends who flew on the jet, including Bill Clinton, Prince Andrew, Health Secretary Robert F Kennedy Jr. as well as many of the pedophile’s victims.

Those records had already surfaced in previous legal cases, including the 2008 lawsuit filed against the Department of Justice in Palm Beach in 2008.

They had also been released separately as part of a defamation case brought by Epstein victim and Prince Andrew’s accuser, Virginia Giuffre, in 2016.

Among those who are known to have been on the plane are Epstein’s much-younger girlfriend, a dentist from Belarus called Karyna Shuliak.

Yet her name was withheld under an exemption which states it would be a ‘clearly unwarranted invasion of personal privacy’, an excuse which is used dozens of times in the files.

In the records there are 501 pages of TECS reports, referring to the system used by DHS to screen travelers arriving in the US, and hundreds more showing other records – many of which include the names of Epstein’s passengers.

There are numerous trips to New York, Palm Beach, London, and Paris, where Epstein had residences, and the US Virgin Islands, where he had his own private island.

Previously unsealed logs showed Trump flew on the plane at least seven times, including one trip between New York and Florida when he was accompanied by his then-wife Marla Maples and their daughter, Tiffany

Epstein and Trump were known to be friendly in the late 1990s and early 2000s when they ran in the same circles of New York and Palm Beach society

Flight crew are also listed in some records. One Epstein flight attendant had claimed she was raped by him dozens of times. 

Another known Epstein victim, Nadia Marcinko, was a certified pilot – as was Ghislaine Maxwell, who could fly a helicopter, yet none of their names appear due to redactions. 

Other redactions in the documents cite an exemption which is designed to ‘protect information compiled for law enforcement purposes that, if disclosed, would reveal techniques, procedures, or guidelines used in law enforcement investigations or prosecution’.

Often multiple examples are highlighted including privacy and law enforcement techniques.

In a bizarre twist, the same files had previously been requested by Darren Indyke, a lawyer who has worked for Epstein for decades.

Indyke resubmitted the request in 2014, when Epstein was still alive and the files were handed over – with the same redactions given to Daily Mail when our reporters made their request.

It is unclear why Epstein would be seeking details of who flew on his plane, however, his victims have claimed that he often used information as leverage against people he knew.

Burchett defended Trump and said that if Trump was on any of Epstein’s flight logs then it could have been just him ‘hitching a ride’ on his plane.

Attorney General Pam Bondi and President Trump have faced questions over their handling of the Epstein files after a memo confirmed the administration was concluding its review 

The logs that have been made public reveal that Trump flew on the plane at least seven times, including one trip between New York and Florida when he was accompanied by his then-wife Marla Maples and their daughter, Tiffany. 

Another flight listed Trump’s son Eric as a passenger.

Burchett said: ‘I think Trump is innocent. He’s on record saying Epstein was a dirtbag’.

Rather than blame Attorney General Pam Bondi, who has become the focus of criticism for the handling of the Epstein case, Burchett blamed Washington bureaucrats.

He said: ‘Law enforcement have to go with what they have in front of them.

‘I think the material is gone, they destroyed it or somebody did and somebody in the Justice Department did it.

‘When a president comes in he fires the top guy but not the career bureaucrats, they know where all the skeletons are buried’.
