Claim by a senior US attorney about US president appears in latest batch of justice department documents
US politics live – latest updates
A newly released batch of the so-called Epstein files includes many references to Donald Trump, including a claim by a senior US attorney that the US president was on a flight in the 1990s with the now-deceased paedophile and a 20-year-old woman.
There is no indication of whether the woman was a victim of any crime, and being included in the files does not indicate any criminal wrongdoing.
The dump of files by the justice department follows a similar release last week of a section of the documents detailing its investigations into the billionaire sex offender.
