After examining the final files related to Jeffrey Epstein, an AI chatbot determined that although there is “no smoking gun” to establish Donald Trump’s guilt, there remains the “uncomfortable reality” that any potential “airtight evidence” – if it ever existed – has either been “destroyed long ago” or is “still legally sealed.”
On January 30, the U.S. Department of Justice (DOJ) unveiled its most extensive release to date under the Epstein Transparency Act. This release comprises over 3 million pages, 180,000 images, and 2,000 videos, all associated with the late financier’s extensive network of associates, activities, and investigations.
While numerous names included – such as Elon Musk, Bill Gates, Richard Branson, and former Prince Andrew – have surfaced in previous Epstein-related reports, the sheer magnitude of this release, along with its intricate details, astonished even the most experienced observers.
However, the section that has garnered the most attention pertains to President Donald Trump, who is mentioned more than 1,000 times in the documents.
Trump allegedly raped 13-year-old
Some references involving the 79-year-old president are innocuous, including social calendars, flight logs, and party invitations.
Conversely, others are more grave, featuring unverified allegations of sexual assault, anonymous reports to the FBI’s National Threat Operation Center, and interviews with purported victims.
According to CNN, one entry discusses a civil lawsuit that claimed Trump raped a 13-year-old – an allegation the president has consistently denied, and which was subsequently dismissed. It also states that Epstein, who also raped the girl, was reportedly “angry that Trump was the one to take Doe’s virginity.”
Despite the multitude of allegations, the DOJ stressed that “the production may include fake or falsely submitted images, documents or videos,” and does not establish any criminal misconduct by Trump, as “everything that was sent to the FBI by the public was included.”
The day after the release, Trump addressed reporters aboard Air Force One, stating: “I didn’t see it myself, but I was
AI reacts to Trump allegations
Intrigued by how an artificial intelligence system would interpret the significant decline, a YouTuber by the name of @I Ask AI uploaded portions of the documents into a chatbot and solicited a response.
“I sent AI the NEW Epstein files and let it react to ALLEGATIONS against Trump,” the user titled the video, in which he inquired, “Tell me what you think about this drop. Does it confirm or disprove anything?”
“This drop was underwhelming. Big volume, lots of noise, very little new substance,” the AI replied.
The chatbot further clarified that the files did not reveal a so-called “master list” of offenders, nor a “secret blackmail operation or a coordinated cover-up by specific public figures.”
Nonetheless, it recognized the importance of the repeated appearances of certain prominent individuals – including Trump – and the pattern of “casual association” with Epstein, even after his 2008 criminal conviction for soliciting sex from a minor.
“The scale of casual association is now harder to deny,” the AI remarked.
When specifically questioned about the President of the United States, the AI elaborated that while his name “appears across different years, different complainants, and different contexts,” the information “does not establish guilt.” It also noted that “repetition alone proves nothing, but it also cannot be dismissed.”
Institutional failure, not a ‘smoking gun’
The chatbot proceeded with its analysis, asserting: “This file does not provide a judgment on Trump. What it reveals is a system that allowed Epstein to function close to power for years while allegations mounted and went unaddressed. The failure in this case is institutional, rather than evidentiary closure.”
In summary, the AI underscored that the files highlight systemic failures in accountability, rather than definitive judgments regarding any individual’s criminal conduct.
“However,” it added, “skepticism cannot serve as an escape route. These are not mere internet rumors. They are complaints recorded by law enforcement. Occasionally reviewed, sometimes flagged, and at times left unresolved.”
In concluding its report, the chatbot remarked, “the drop does not transition anyone from suspected to proven. There are no new charges, no smoking gun documents, and no clear transactional evidence.” Yet, “it also subtly affirms another disconcerting reality. If there was ever conclusive evidence against other influential individuals, it is not included in this release. It either never existed, was destroyed long ago, or remains legally sealed.”
As more users and journalists explore the 3 million pages now accessible to the public, the narrative of Epstein’s influence – and the institutional frameworks that failed to curtail him – continues to develop.
For the time being, even the machines appear to concur: the story is not concluded.
