A huge new trove of Epstein files have alleged that Donald Trump flew on the pedophile's private jet 'many more times than has been previously reported', including one journey with a 20-year-old woman.
Some 8,000 more documents including videos and photos related to the case of convicted sex offender Jeffrey Epstein have been released on the US Department of Justice's site (DOJ).
Among the documents is an email from a New York assistant US attorney, which states that Trump was listed as a passenger on eight flights between 1993 and 1996, including at least four where Epstein's co-conspirator Ghislaine Maxwell was also present.
Trump's presence in the Epstein files does not imply any wrongdoing. The president has not been accused of any malpractice concerning the disgraced financier.
The email says: 'For your situational awareness, wanted to let you know that the flight records we received yesterday reflect that Donald Trump travelled on Epstein’s private jet many more times than previously has been reported (or that we were aware), including during the period we would expect to charge in a Maxwell case.'
It continues: 'On one flight in 1993, he and Epstein are the only two listed passengers; on another, the only three passengers are Epstein, Trump and then-20-year-old [redacted].'
The new release follows the more than 300,000 files which were released by the DOJ on Friday.
The department has been accused of withholding information and was criticised by Democrats over the slow release and heavy redaction of records from the investigation into Epstein.
It failed to meet its deadline for complying with a 'transparency' law requiring the broad release of remaining Epstein files, sparking widespread outrage among Democrats and Republicans.

Following the latest dump of evidence from Epstein's case files, the Department of Justice issued a statement downplaying the files that included Trump's name.
'Some of these documents contain untrue and sensationalist claims made against President Trump that were submitted to the FBI right before the 2020 election. To be clear: the claims are unfounded and false, and if they had a shred of credibility, they certainly would have been weaponized against President Trump already,' the DOJ wrote on X.
'Nevertheless, out of our commitment to the law and transparency, the DOJ is releasing these documents with the legally required protections for Epstein’s victims.'

The new files include hundreds of videos and audio recordings, notably surveillance footage from August 2019, the month Epstein was found dead in his jail cell while awaiting trial on sex trafficking charges.
The DOJ posted around 11,000 links to documents online, some of which direct viewers to pictures of Epstein's old United States passport.
It was issued in February 1985 and expired in 1995. Below his signature is a black and white passport photo of Epstein dressed in a suit and tie.
Congress nearly unanimously passed the Epstein Files Transparency Act (EFTA), which mandated the complete release of the Epstein files by last Friday.
A group of victims earlier complained that only a 'fraction' of the files were released and even those were 'riddled with abnormal and extreme redactions with no explanation'.
EFTA co-sponsors Ro Khanna, a Democrat, and Thomas Massie, a Republican, threatened to bring contempt charges against Attorney General Pam Bondi for failing to comply with the law.

Senate Minority Leader Chuck Schumer introduced a resolution on Monday calling for legal action against the administration for failing to release the complete Epstein files.
Deputy Attorney General Todd Blanche blamed the delay on the need to redact the identities of Epstein's more than 1,000 victims, and on Sunday denied allegations of protecting Trump, who was formerly a close friend of Epstein's.
Trump had initially tried to block the disclosure of the files.
But the president, who cut ties with Epstein years before his arrest and faces no accusations of wrongdoing, finally bowed to mounting pressure from Congress and signed the law compelling publication of the files.
Also featured in the documents are court transcripts, FBI and DOJ records, emails and news clippings.
Friday's disclosure represented only a fraction of the total data the FBI and Justice Department have said they possess related to Epstein and was heavily redacted, including several documents or 100 pages or more that were entirely blacked out.
Also notable was the dearth of references to Trump, who had a well-publicised friendship with Epstein in the 1990s and early 2000s.
Instead, the released files extensively featured former President Bill Clinton, a Democrat and political foe.

'The DOJ needs to quit protecting the rich, powerful, and politically connected,' Representative Massie, a maverick conservative Republican from Kentucky, said in a post on X.
Clinton spokesman Angel Urena issued a statement urging Attorney General Pam Bondi to immediately release any remaining materials in the Epstein case that refer to Clinton in any way, including photographs.
'Someone or something is being protected. We do not know whom, what or why. But we do know this,' Urena said, adding: 'We need no such protection.'
Urena said there is 'widespread suspicion' the Justice Department is 'using selective releases to imply wrongdoing about individuals who have already been repeatedly cleared by the very same Department of Justice'.
He did not detail who else harbored that suspicion.
A photograph of Trump flanked by women in bikinis was mysteriously removed without explanation from the Epstein Files, before being reinstated.
The photo showing a desk with an open drawer containing the image of Trump was flagged by the Southern District of New York for review to protect potential victims.
Following furious backlash, it was reinstated on Sunday morning after it was determined that ‘there is no evidence that any Epstein victims are depicted in the photograph’, a statement posted on X said.

Deputy Attorney General Todd Blanche said earlier on Sunday his office removed the photo because of concerns about women in the photo. 'It has nothing to do with President Trump,' Blanche said during a Sunday morning appearance on NBC’s 'Meet the Press with Kristen Welker'.
During an ABC News interview on Sunday, Democratic House Minority Leader Hakeem Jeffries called for a 'full and complete investigation as to why the document production has fallen short of what the law clearly required'.
The 300,000 pages of released files on Friday largely dealt with three police investigations into the convicted paedophile. First, a Palm Beach police inquiry from 2005.
Then a probe by federal prosecutors in Florida that ended with the financier's 2008 plea deal, in which he was handed a notably soft sentence.
And finally, the 2019 inquiry by Manhattan prosecutors that was cut short when Epstein died in his cell at the Metropolitan Correctional Centre in New York City.
There was a series of never-before-seen photos of former President Clinton, including images of him relaxing in what appears to be a hot tub and smiling at parties with women.
A spokesman for the former president commented on the new photos, saying they were decades old.
'They can release as many grainy 20-plus-year-old photos as they want, but this isn't about Bill Clinton. Never has, never will be,' Ureña wrote on social media.
'There are two types of people here. The first group knew nothing and cut Epstein off before his crimes came to light. The second group continued relationships with him after.
'We're in the first. No amount of stalling by people in the second group will change that.
'Everyone, especially MAGA, expects answers, not scapegoats.'

He has never been accused of wrongdoing by survivors of Epstein's abuse, and has denied knowledge of his sex offending.
'I don't like the pictures of Bill Clinton being shown. I don't like the pictures of other people being shown. I think it's a terrible thing,' Trump told reporters on Monday.
'I think Bill Clinton's a big boy, he can handle it. But you probably have pictures being exposed of other people that innocently met Jeffrey Epstein years ago ... and they're highly respected bankers and lawyers and others.'
Another photo appears to show Andrew Mountbatten-Windsor lying across five women’s laps.

Andrew has repeatedly denied any wrongdoing in relation to Epstein, and said he did not 'see, witness or suspect any behaviour of the sort that subsequently led to his arrest and conviction'
