The newly unsealed Jeffrey Epstein documents have Donald Trump's name all over them. He had been secretly disguised as 'Doe 174.'
The documents name about 170 people who have come up in a legal battle between
Virginia Giuffre, one of his accusers, and
Ghislaine Maxwell, his former girlfriend who in 2021 was convicted of trafficking girls to him for sex.
Before now, the documents had been either fully under seal or partially redacted. Each of those roughly 170 people — a mix of Epstein's wealthy friends, his victims, and other people merely mentioned in passing — had been
identified as a "J. Doe" in arguments over whether the documents should be made public.
Donald Trump is one of them. But until now, it wasn't clear which of the nearly 200 Does — as enumerated by US District Judge Loretta Preska in a 50-page list — he actually was.
Former President Donald Trump may have fought to keep his name redacted in court documents before a judge ordered it unsealed.
