Does a new Epstein files release show Donald Trump visited Epstein Island 345 times? No, that's not true: The Department of Justice's Epstein Library -- the only publicly searchable database of Epstein files, last updated on Sept. 11, 2026 -- contains no record of Trump visiting Epstein Island hundreds of times. Lead Stories also found no credible news coverage of any such files.
The claim appeared ina post(archivedhere) by the @chachymonk1 account on Threads on Sept. 22, 2026. It read:
345 times!
Not counting the times Epstein visited Maro-lago [sic]
