Donald Trump, 11-year-old son Eric once flew with Jeffrey Epstein: records – Business Insider

Donald Trump brought his son Eric then 11 years old onto a flight with Jeffrey Epstein and Ghislaine Maxwell, according to flight logs revealed on Monday as part of Maxwell's child-sex-trafficking trial.

The Trumps flew with Epstein and Maxwell aboard a Grumman Gulfstream II private jet from Palm Beach, Florida, to Teterboro Airport in New Jersey on August 13, 1995, the flight logs showed.

These flight logs show that Trump traveled on Epstein's private jets far more frequently than previous sets of records associated with Epstein's aircraft had indicated. According to the logs, Trump also flew on one of Epstein's planes four times in 1993, twice in 1994, and again in 1997.

A spokesperson for the Trump Organization did not immediately respond to Insider's request for comment.

The 118-page collection of flight records was kept by one of Epstein's two pilots, David Rodgers, and made public on Monday as evidence in Maxwell's trial.

Along with citing who was traveling with Epstein on the flights, the records include the date, aircraft make and model, points of departure and arrival, number of landings, and the pilot's signature.

Rodgers testified during the trial that he was sometimes vague in listing who was traveling on Epstein's plane and would include descriptions of people like "single female" instead of their names.

Earlier this year, the Federal Aviation Administration accidentally sent Insider a set of over 2,000 flight records associated with Epstein.

The records held data for four private jets registered to Epstein between 1998 and 2006. Other notable passengers on Epstein's jets, according to the flight records, included former President Bill Clinton, lawyer Alan Dershowitz, and Prince Andrew all of whom were previously revealed to have traveled with Epstein.

The flights with Trump occurred over a decade before Epstein, a billionaire Wall Street financier, would plead guilty to child-prostitution charges in Florida in 2008. Epstein was investigated by the FBI as early as 2006 and had been accused of abusing girls in the early 2000s.

Epstein was granted immunity from federal prosecution at the time of his conviction in a deal with then-US attorney Alexander Acosta. The convicted sex offender only served 13 months and was allowed to leave jail six days a week as part of a work-release program one that Epstein should not have qualified for.

Epstein would later be arrested in 2019 and accused by prosecutors of trafficking dozens of young girls for sex.

Epstein died by suicide while awaiting trial in a Manhattan jail that year.

Maxwell, on trial in Manhattan federal court this month, is being accused of sex-trafficking girlswith Epstein and participating in sexual abuse herself.

Prosecutors in Maxwell's trial used the flight records to try to demonstrate that some of the accusers in the case traveled on Epstein's planes with Maxwell.

She has pleaded not guilty to the charges.
