   They should rename the Epstein Files to The Trump Files.   
      
      
   Every member in or linked to Trump's administration mentioned in Epstein   
   files   
   Donald Trump is mentioned thousands of times in documents related to the   
   crimes of sex offender Jeffrey Epstein   
      
      
   Following the news that several high-profile Brits will face renewed   
   investigation into their association with Jeffrey Epstein, questions have   
   been raised over the possibility that some US officials could endure the   
   same fate.   
      
   A number of American politicians, media executives, businessmen, tech gurus   
   and health officials were featured in the latest release of federal files   
   related to the crimes of the late sex offender.   
      
   The Department of Justice claimed the 3,000,000 documents, 180,000 images   
   and 2,000 videos released on 30 January - an alarming number of which   
   featured explicitly or briefly mentioned A-listers - formed the 'final'   
   collection of Epstein files.   
      
   Police raided the home of Lord Peter Mandelson, formerly the UK ambassador   
   to the US, in light of damning new revelations over his relationship with   
   Epstein.   
      
      
   Despite consistently denying any criminal wrongdoing, the Metropolitan   
   Police are currently assessing claims that the politician leaked market-   
   sensitive government information to the late paedophile between 2009 and   
   2010, and gave Epstein advance notice of a €500bn EU bailout.   
      
   Andrew Mountbatten-Windsor is also facing fresh scrutiny following the   
   release of a questionable image which shows him on all-fours over someone   
   who appears to be a young woman.   
      
   Buckingham Palace officials said yesterday (10 February) that King Charles   
   III is ready to support the police, as they assess new sexual abuse claims   
   and investigate claims of suspected misconduct and breach of official   
   secrets while Andrew was in public office.   
      
   Key political figures from across the pond are also facing new lines of   
   interrogation after featuring in the latest federal release, including many   
   former and currently-serving members of Trump's administration.

   Donald Trump   
      
   The President himself is mentioned extensively in the Epstein files.   
      
   According to reports, his name, his Mar-a-Lago, Florida residence, and   
   terms related to the ex-businessman appear thousands of times, including in   
   social interactions and flight logs.   
      
   The 79-year-old also featured in a handful of photos contained within the   
   files, several of which see him posing alongside Epstein, who took his own   
   life in jail whilst awaiting trial on sex trafficking charges in 2019.   
      
   By Trump's own admission, he and Epstein had previously been associates,   
   but had fallen out in the early Noughties - long before the latter's   
   heinous crimes against young women were exposed.

   According to the BBC, many mentions of the right-wing leader - who'd   
   previously backed the November passing of the Epstein Files Transparency   
   Act - appear to be unverified and without evidence.   
      
   The Justice Department also previously said: "Some of the documents contain   
   untrue and sensationalist claims against President Trump that were   
   submitted to the FBI right before the 2020 election.   
      
   "To be clear, the claims are unfounded and false, and if they have a shred   
   of credibility, they certainly would have been weaponised against President   
   Trump already."   
   Melania Trump   
      
   Whilst not an indication of criminal conduct, the current First Lady is   
   also mentioned frequently in the Epstein files.   
      
   A 2002 email allegedly sent from Melania to Epstein's now-jailed associate   
   Ghislaine Maxwell also hears the former express a desire to meet the latter   
   after paying her a compliment.

   The director of Melania's titular documentary film, Brett Ratner was also   
   photographed embracing a young woman in images released. In another, he is   
   seen sitting on a sofa beside Epstein and two women whose identities have   
   been obscured.   
   Donald Trump Jr and Eric Trump   
      
   The president's two eldest sons are also referenced briefly in the Epstein   
   files.   
      
   In one instance, Epstein says he is in Palm Beach 'all the Trump boys' on   
   Christmas Day 2016.   
      
   In another, Epstein is understood to have expressed a desire to meet with   
   'Don Jr' shortly before his 2019 suicide, via an email to real estate   
   executive Andrew Farkas.

   Steve Bannon   
      
   Former right-wing advisor to Trump, Steve Bannon also features several   
   times in the Epstein files.   
      
   It is understood that Bannon exchanged hundreds of text messages with   
   Epstein about politics and a proposed documentary following the latter's   
   initial conviction, and prior to his death.   
      
   According to PBS, Bannon had told Epstein he hoped a documentary would help   
   salvage his reputation.   
      
   In terms of politics, the two are understood to have gossiped about Trump   
   and his policies frequently, including during a specific email exchange   
   about the president's prior threat to oust Federal Reserve Chairman Jerome   
   Powell.   
   John Phelan   
      
   The current Secretary of the Navy is named in the latest file release as a   
   passenger on one of Epstein's private jets, flying from JFK International   
   Airport in New York to London Luton Airport in 2006.

   Authorities have not accused Phelan of any wrongdoing.   
   Howard Lutnick   
      
   Since featuring in the files, Trump-appointed Commerce Secretary Lutnick   
   has confessed to meeting with Epstein several times in the past, including   
   on his private island following the latter's 2008 conviction against a   
   minor.   
      
   Like Trump, Lutnick claims he cut ties with the disgraced financier in the   
   mid-Noughties, but the files show that as late as 2012, he, his wife and   
   their children accepted an invitation extended by Epstein to Little St   
   James in the Virgin Islands.   
      
   Lutnick has confessed he did have lunch with Epstein in 2012 in Little St
