Following the release of what the Department of Justice claims are the ‘final’ round of Epstein files, one politician accused Donald Trump’s name of appearing more times than Jesus’ features in the Bible.he allegation was made recently by Democratic Rep, Jared Moskowitz of Florida during a congressional hearing about the handling of federal files related to the crimes of the late sex offender.A similar comparison was also made by senior Democrat on the House Judiciary Committee, Jamie Raskin, following his review of parts of the un-redacted documents that feature the US President, claiming the 79-year-old is mentioned ‘over a million times’.The staggering claim has since spread like wildfire across social media – though, many spectators have questioned whether it’s actually a fact, or a piece of rhetoric being used by Trump’s opponents to emphasise just how frequently he is referenced in the files.

It was that reportedly made the comparison (Jemal Countess/Getty Images for Congressional Integrity Project)What we do know, is that Donald Trump’s name comes up a lot in the 3.5 million files dropped on 31 January, following the November passing of the Epstein Files Transparency Act.This release – which Deputy Attorney General Todd Blanche insists is the last of many – consists of 3,000,000 documents, 180,000 images and 2,000 videos, an alarming number of which featured explicitly or briefly mentioned A-listers, including the Republican front-man himself.The exact amount of mentions Trump receives across all of the staggered release remains unknown.Sky News reports that a search for the right-wing leader in the files returns 5,176 results, with over 38,000 varied mentions of his name. The New York Times, meanwhile, claims to have identified a surplus of 5,300 references to Trump in the publicly released files that reference, including mentions of his Mar-a-Lago, Florida property, and his wife, Melania Trump (as cited by ABC).
