DOJ Releases Epstein Files Including Trump References
The US Justice Department has released new documents about Jeffrey Epstein, a man who did bad things.
These documents include emails and flight records that mention Donald Trump.
One email was from someone called 'The Invisible Man' to Ghislaine Maxwell, Epstein's friend.
The email talks about being tired from activities and asks for new friends.
Maxwell replied that she couldn't find any 'inappropriate' friends.
The documents also show that Trump flew on Epstein's private jet eight times in the 1990s.
The DOJ says there are no allegations that Trump did anything wrong.
The documents are part of an effort to be open about the investigation.
Maxwell is now in prison for 20 years because of her involvement in Epstein's crimes.
The documents are heavily edited to protect people's identities.
