Donald Trump is mentioned more than 3,000 times in the latest release of Epstein files, shedding light on the pedophile financier’s movements within elite circles.

More than three million pages of documents were published on Friday, including than 2,000 videos and 180,000 images. They are expected to be the last of the releases.

One message, with both the sender and the recipient redacted, asked what Epstein thought of visiting Trump’s Mar-a-Lago resort instead of his island in 2012, years after Trump said they had stopped socializing.

Being named does not imply wrongdoing, or suggest someone participated in Epstein’s crimes or knew of them. The president has denied wrongdoing and has never been accused of a crime associated with Epstein.

The new files also suggest the former prince Andrew Mountbatten-Windsor invited Epstein to Buckingham Palace years after the financier was convicted of sex crimes.

And an email exchange from 2013 showed Elon Musk and Epstein coordinating a time for the tech CEO to visit Little Saint James, Epstein’s island in the U.S. Virgin Islands. It’s unclear if the visit ever materialized.
