Goldman Reveals Unredacted 2009 Epstein Email Contradicting Trump’s Mar-a-Lago Claim

The disclosure has sharpened congressional scrutiny of Justice Department redactions in the Epstein files.

Overview

  • Representative Dan Goldman displayed an unredacted October 2009 email in which Trump's lawyer Alan Garten said Jeffrey Epstein was never asked to leave Mar-a-Lago and may have been a guest.
  • The email summarizes a call involving Trump, Garten, and victim counsel, and records Trump acknowledging he may have flown on Epstein’s plane and visited his residence.
  • Goldman accused the Justice Department of improperly withholding material and noted DOJ figures showing about 3.5 million of roughly 6 million identified files have been publicly disclosed.
  • Former Florida Attorney General Pam Bondi has been subpoenaed by the Republican-led House Oversight Committee to sit for a deposition on April 14 regarding the handling of the files.
  • Additional records in the released materials include photos and flight logs showing Trump socializing with Epstein and appearing on his aircraft, with documents indicating Epstein held Mar-a-Lago membership until October 2007.
