DOJ sitting on secret Epstein email account that could expose Trump ties: report

Despite the Justice Department’s claim that it released every document related to Jeffrey Epstein as required by law, three million remain unpublished – including those from a lesser-known Epstein email account that may contain references to Epstein's relationship with President Donald Trump, CBS News reported Friday.A significant share of files released by the Justice Department (DOJ) are communications from Epstein’s “jeevacation@gmail.com” email address. However, Epstein maintained several email accounts, such as “jeeproject@yahoo.com” – the contents of which were not released by the DOJ but have since leaked – and “littlestjeff@yahoo.com,” the latter of which could hold new details on Trump’s past ties with Epstein.“A batch of documents raises questions about what the DOJ does have; a series of screengrab images of Epstein's inbox for an email account littlestjeff@yahoo.com from the early 2000s – notably a period of time when Epstein was in touch with Donald Trump, whom he knew through New York and Palm Beach social circles,” the CBS News analysis reads.“The sender and recipient fields on those records are heavily redacted. Mr. Trump has repeatedly claimed he has never used email, but those communications could potentially have references to Epstein's relationship with Mr. Trump and others. This was also the period in which Epstein was found to have been recruiting underage girls for sexual massages, and would likely have been of high interest to investigators.”Trump has consistently denied any wrongdoing as it relates to his past ties with Epstein and is not facing any criminal charges. However, serious but unverified accusations against the president have emerged with the DOJ’s publication of Epstein-related files.Regarding communications from Epstein’s littlestjeff@yahoo.com email account, the DOJ has published screengrabs of the email account’s inbox page, albeit with significant redactions and in limited quantities. However, the mere publication of the screengrabs suggests that the DOJ “apparently has access” to that email account, CBS News' report reads, raising questions as to why “only a handful of emails from that account” have been published.
