Another former president, Donald Trump, is also referenced in the newly-unsealed trove of documents linked to the Epstein investigation.

Among the 40 documents unsealed this week is a 2016 deposition given by Epstein accuser Johanna Sjoberg, who claimed Epstein called up Trump personally before visiting one of his casinos.

“Jeffrey said, 'Great, we'll call up Trump and we'll go to' — I don't recall the name of the casino, but — 'we'll go to the casino,'" according to testimony given by Sjoberg.

She also said the two visited a Trump casino in Atlantic City, adding that fellow Epstein accuser Giuffre was prohibited from entering the casino because of her age.

When asked whether she provided massages for Trump, Sjoberg twice said “no.”

Like Clinton, Trump is not accused of any wrongdoing or illegal activity in the documents.

During the 2021 Maxwell trial, flight logs showed Trump flew multiple times on Epstein’s private jet, referred to as the “Lolita Express,” during the 1990s.
