What were the dates of Trump's flights on Jeffrey Epstein's plane?

1. What the flight logs actually say — seven entries in the 1990s

Publicized flight manifests and DOJ document releases list Donald Trump as a passenger on Epstein’s planes on multiple occasions, and several outlets summarize the released material by saying Trump appears on at least seven flights in the early 1990s ^{[1] [2]}. Those flight-log entries are the principal, contemporaneous evidence frequently cited in coverage; outlets including the BBC and Times of India reported the same basic count after the February 2025 release of documents ^{[2] [1]}.

2. What recent email releases add — coordination and monitoring, not necessarily new flights

A November 2025 tranche of emails from Epstein’s estate and staff shows Epstein’s team tracked Trump’s travel and in some cases coordinated Epstein-related flights around Trump’s schedule — for example, pilot Larry Visoski’s messages describe aligning timing and airports for movements tied to Trump’s itinerary ^{[3] [4]}. Reporting emphasizes these emails reflect Epstein’s interest in Trump’s whereabouts and logistics rather than supplying a comprehensive, newly discovered list of Trump flights ^[3].

3. Disputed or unproven claims — Thanksgiving 2017 and other media assertions

Some commentators asserted that emails show Trump spent Thanksgiving 2017 with Epstein; fact-checking outlets and reporting found no conclusive proof that the two met that Thanksgiving, and contemporaneous flight records and schedules do not corroborate that particular claim ^[5]. In short, the emails spurred political claims that are not yet substantiated by the flight manifests or other official schedules released so far ^[5].

4. What the DOJ releases covered and what remains redacted or unresolved

The Justice Department’s phased releases in 2025 included flight logs, a redacted contact book and related materials — but many documents remain redacted or were released piecemeal, and the DOJ said some material could be withheld to avoid jeopardizing ongoing matters ^{[6] [7]}. Reuters and other outlets noted that later legislation and executive action pushed further releases, but also allowed carve-outs for items tied to active investigations ^[7].

5. How different outlets frame the significance — caution vs. sensationalism

Mainstream outlets including The New York Times, BBC and Reuters have reported the simple facts: Trump is listed on Epstein logs and Epstein’s team tracked Trump’s travel ^{[8] [2] [7]}. Other reporting and opinion pieces—some less scrupulous—have amplified implications or repeated unverified claims; readers should distinguish direct documentary evidence (flight logs, emails) from inferences and political spin that the documents have enabled ^{[9] [10]}.

6. Limitations of the record — presence on a log is not proof of activity on board

Flight manifests record a name, date and route but do not alone document what happened during a flight or whether alleged criminal conduct occurred; reporting and the DOJ releases make clear the logs are a piece of the record, not a full dossier of behavior ^{[6] [2]}. Where sources do not mention specifics — for instance, exact dates for all seven entries in a single, authoritative list — that granular compilation is not found in the current batch of reporting provided here (not found in current reporting).

7. What to watch next — ongoing releases and political uses of the files

Congress and the White House moved in November 2025 to accelerate and broaden releases of Epstein-related material, and media outlets continue to mine newly posted emails and logs ^{[11] [7]}. Expect more document-driven stories and continued fact-checks; readers should track primary-file releases and reputable outlets’ syntheses rather than social posts or single-source claims ^{[11] [6]}.

Bottom line: available, publicly released flight logs and contemporaneous reporting say Trump appears on multiple Epstein flight manifests — commonly summarized as at least seven flights in the 1990s — while later email releases show Epstein’s operation kept tabs on and sometimes aligned travel with Trump, but the documents released so far do not independently establish broader allegations beyond presence on manifests and email interest ^{[1] [3]}.
