New Jeffrey Epstein Document Is Worst One for Trump Yet

Former President Donald Trump's name has been included in a new court document relating to Jeffrey Epstein.

The document released on Monday contains emails that were sent by Sarah Ransome, who has accused Epstein of sexual assault, to columnist Maureen Callahan, regarding incidents that involved Epstein and others, including Trump.

"[A]nother friend...was one of the many girls that had sexual relations with Donald Trump...She confided in me about her casual 'friendship' with Donald. Mr. Trump definitely seemed to have a thing for her and she told me how he kept going on about how he liked her 'pert nipples,'" the document said. "I also know she had sexual relations with Trump at Jeffery's NY mansion on regular occasions as I once met Jen for coffee, just before she was going to meet Trump and Epstein together at his mansion."

In response to the release of the documents, Steven Cheung, a spokesperson for Trump, told Newsweek on Monday, "These baseless accusations have been fully retracted because they are simply false and have no merit."

Ransome had later retracted all of her claims made about Epstein and others.

"I have spoken to my family at some length this morning and I would like to retract everything I have said to you and walk away from this," she said in one of the emails included in the document.

The former president has not been charged with any crimes relating to Epstein, who was convicted of sexual abuse and later found dead in his Manhattan jail cell in 2019. The New York City Medical Examiner's Office later ruled that Epstein committed suicide by hanging himself with a bedsheet, but Epstein's lawyers have challenged the ruling.

The documents released on Monday also include an email that Ransome sent where she spoke about having alleged video footage "implicating," former President Bill Clinton, Prince Andrew and Richard Branson.

"My friend had sexual intercourse with Clinton, Prince Andrew and Richard Branson, sex tapes were in fact filmed on each separate occasion," the email said. However, the documents did not state the ages of any of the girls allegedly involved with the incidents.

Ransome said in 2019 with an interview with the New Yorker that she "invented the tapes to draw attention to Epstein's behaviour."

Last week, dozens of other Epstein documents were released, some of which contained the former president's name. In one of the documents, Johanna Sjoberg, an Epstein accuser, testified that the convicted sexual abuser said he planned to call Trump and go to one of his casinos. However, Sjoberg later testified that she never massaged Trump. In a statement last week, Cheung said that any claims involving Trump and Epstein were "thoroughly debunked."

In 2002, Trump spoke about Epstein during an interview with New York magazine saying, "I've known Jeff for 15 years. Terrific guy." However, in 2019 following Epstein's arrest, Trump said he had not communicated with Epstein in several years due to "a falling out."
