What the Newly Released FBI Files Reveal About Trump and the Epstein Investigation (2/10/26)

Newly released FBI documents included in the Department of Justice’s public release of the Epstein files reveal that in 2006 then-businessman Donald Trump called the Palm Beach, Florida, police chief investigating Jeffrey Epstein to express support for the probe. According to a summary of a 2019 FBI interview with former Palm Beach Police Chief Michael Reiter, Trump told him, “thank goodness you’re stopping him,” saying that “everyone has known he’s been doing this” and that Epstein was “disgusting.” He additionally urged investigators to “focus on” Ghislaine Maxwell, referring to her as “evil” and Epstein’s operative. Trump also claimed to have distanced himself from Epstein after seeing teenagers around him and said he had thrown Epstein out of his Mar-a-Lago club.

The disclosure comes as Maxwell, who is serving a 20-year sentence for her role in Epstein’s trafficking network, recently invoked her Fifth Amendment right during a closed-door deposition before the House Oversight Committee, declining to answer questions about her involvement or about others. Her attorney suggested she might cooperate if granted clemency, a notion the White House has dismissed. The timing of the document release and Maxwell’s deposition spotlights ongoing scrutiny of the Epstein case and Trump’s past connections with Epstein and Maxwell, even as Trump has repeatedly denied wrongdoing or knowledge of Epstein’s crimes.
