This claim is true, but it is important to note that lack of evidence does not mean proof of innocence. Donald Trump and Jeffrey Epstein had a social relationship in the 1990s and early 2000s, including attending events together and Trump flying on Epstein’s private jet multiple times. However, according to court documents and expert analysis, there is no evidence that implicates Trump in any criminal wrongdoing related to Epstein. While Trump is mentioned in several unsealed documents, including accusations that were later retracted, Politico confirmed that legal experts emphasize that these records neither incriminate nor exonerate him. Politico reported, "Although Trump is mentioned in some of these documents, the records provide neither a smoking gun that he was involved in wrongdoing nor that he was, as his supporters have claimed, 'cleared.'"
