President Donald Trump's name was mentioned nine times across the hundreds of pages in the “phase one" release of the Epstein files.

US President Donald Trump ordered his attorney general to release documents on Jeffrey Epstein, as more evidence of the president’s alleged links to the deceased sex offender appeared. The Wall Street Journal said Trump sent Epstein a “bawdy” letter in 2003; Trump said it was fake and threatened to sue.

President Trump's loyal base and Democrats alike are now calling for the entire Department of Justice file of Epstein material to be released, an appeal so far rejected by Trump and his aides.
