Congressman Khanna Calls for Full FBI‑302 Release After New Epstein File Batch

Updated (12 articles)

DOJ Unveils Largest Epstein Document Tranche to Date The Justice Department disclosed nearly 30,000 pages of records across several batches between December 23‑24, 2025, including thousands of photos, flight logs, and investigative emails, fulfilling a congressional deadline for full public access [2][3][4][6][7][8][9]. Redactions remain extensive, with officials saying they protect victims and ongoing investigations, while critics argue they obscure key details [2][4][9]. The releases also contain the first public references to a handwritten letter to Larry Nassar, which the FBI has identified as a forgery [4][6][8][9].

Flight Logs Show Trump Boarded Epstein Jet Eight Times Email correspondence from a Southern District of New York prosecutor dated 7 January 2020 confirms Donald Trump flew on Epstein’s private aircraft at least eight times between 1993 and 1996, with Ghislaine Maxwell listed on four of those trips [8][9][6][5]. Passengers on the flights included Marla Maples, Tiffany Trump, and Eric Trump; one flight recorded only Trump and Epstein as occupants [8][6]. The DOJ has warned that some documents in the batch contain “untrue and sensationalist” claims about Trump, but the flight‑log entries are considered verified [5][8].

Documents Reference Ten Possible Co‑Conspirators, Including Maxwell and Wexner FBI emails from 2019 cite ten potential co‑conspirators, noting six subpoenas served and four pending, with the only unredacted names being Ghislaine Maxwell and Les Wexner [2][4][5][9]. Maxwell, already serving a 20‑year sentence since 2022, may or may not be among the ten referenced in a newly released internal document discussed by Rep. Ro Khanna [1][2]. Wexner’s lawyers have repeatedly denied any co‑conspirator status, stating he fully cooperated with investigators [2][4][5].

Lawmakers Intensify Calls for Full FBI‑302 Disclosure Rep. Ro Khanna and Rep. Robert Garcia have urged the Justice Department to release the complete FBI‑302 interview files, arguing they could reveal the identities of the unnamed co‑conspirators and explain prior investigative gaps [1][3]. Senate Minority Leader Chuck Schumer criticized the partial releases as leaving “more questions than answers” and demanded a broader probe into Epstein’s network [6][7]. Survivor Haley Robson publicly called for President Trump’s impeachment over the handling of the file releases, targeting officials she says mishandled the investigation [3].

Fake Letter to Larry Nassar and Other Forged Materials Exposed Among the newly released items is a purported handwritten letter from Epstein to former teamster‑doctor Larry Nassar, which the DOJ and FBI have declared a fake due to mismatched handwriting, an incorrect return address, and a post‑mortem postmark [4][6][8][9]. A similarly fabricated prison‑cell video was traced to a 2020 YouTube upload, underscoring the need for careful verification of materials emerging from the dump [4][9]. These findings illustrate the challenges investigators face in separating authentic evidence from fabricated content within the massive archive [4][9].

Jan 7 2020 – A Southern District of New York prosecutor’s email states “Donald Trump was listed as a passenger on Epstein’s private jet on at least eight flights between 1993 and 1996,” and adds “I was never on Epstein’s plane,” quoting Trump’s denial of involvement [3][10].

2021 – Manhattan prosecutors issue at least two subpoenas to Mar‑a‑Lago seeking employment records tied to a redacted individual as part of the Maxwell trial preparation, and the club responds with a letter from its HR director, expanding the scope of Trump‑related material in the investigation [7][5][8][12].

Dec 24 2025 – In the largest single batch of 11,000 documents, prosecutors highlight eight Trump flights, note many Trump‑related items are “media clippings” and label some claims “untrue and sensationalist”; the batch also flags a handwritten letter to Larry Nassar as fake, citing handwriting and postmark inconsistencies [2].

Dec 25 2025 – Rep. Ro Khanna tells MSNBC, “It would be irresponsible to speculate,” while urging the release of FBI 302 interview files that list the ten co‑conspirators, arguing that full disclosure would settle survivor questions; he notes additional Epstein‑related files are expected in the coming weeks [6].

Future (weeks after Dec 2025) – DOJ announces it will release “hundreds of thousands more pages” of Epstein‑related material in the coming weeks, promising further transparency despite ongoing redactions and survivor calls for full disclosure of co‑conspirator identities [1][6].
