In defense of 𝘛𝘩𝘦 𝘗𝘳𝘪𝘯𝘤𝘦, a Renaissance-era treatise by Italian diplomat Niccolò #Machiavelli, think of it less as a manual for tyrants and more as simply an explanation for the nature of politics, in which only the greatest seek to maximize their power, regardless of the morality of how they do it. It is not an ethic I endorse, yet it is the only valid theory, I believe, that explains most politicians' behavior. Welcome to the world of cynicism.

The president, the plane and the prince: Top takeaways from the 3rd Epstein files release

The Justice Department released 30,000 pages of documents related to Jeffrey Epstein on Tuesday.

Dec. 23, 2025, 4:25 PM PST / Updated Dec. 24, 2025, 6:40 AM PST

By Dareh Gregorian

The Justice Department on Tuesday released a third batch of records related to Jeffrey Epstein, a wide array of documents that shed light on alleged co-conspirators and the late sex offender’s ties to the former Prince Andrew.

Among the records, released in accordance with the law passed by Congress last month, were several references to President Donald Trump. Trump, who was friends with Epstein for years and has said they had a falling-out because Epstein was a “creep,” has denied any wrongdoing in relation to Epstein.

The White House on Tuesday referred NBC News to a statement the Justice Department made earlier in the day.

“The Department of Justice has officially released nearly 30,000 more pages of documents related to Jeffrey Epstein. Some of these documents contain untrue and sensationalist claims made 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 had a shred of credibility, they certainly would have been weaponized against President Trump already,” it said on X.

An NBC News review confirmed that the Justice Department released roughly 30,000 records.

Here are the top takeaways from the files.

Epstein’s plane

An email sent in January 2020 by a New York federal prosecutor who appeared to be involved with the criminal case against Epstein’s accomplice Ghislaine Maxwell alerted an unidentified person to flight logs involving Trump and Epstein from the 1990s.

“For your situational awareness, wanted to let you know that the flight records we received yesterday reflect that Donald Trump traveled on Epstein’s private jet many more times than previously has been reported (or that we were aware), including during the period we would expect to charge in a Maxwell case.”

Maxwell was indicted on federal sex trafficking charges months later, in July 2020. She is serving a 20-year prison sentence.

The email said Trump, then serving his first term as president, “is listed as a passenger on at least eight flights between 1993 and 1996, including at least four flights on which Maxwell was also present. He is listed as having traveled with, among others and at various times, Marla Maples, his daughter Tiffany, and his son Eric.”

“On one flight in 1993, he and Epstein are the only two listed passengers; on another, the only three passengers are Epstein, Trump, and then-20-year-old [redacted]. On two other flights, two of the passengers, respectively, were women who would be possible witnesses in a Maxwell case.”

The names of both the sender and the recipient were redacted. The message does not accuse Trump of any wrongdoing.

Possible co-conspirators

Another released document showed federal prosecutors discussing “10 co-conspirators” of Epstein’s in an email exchange. To date, Maxwell is the only co-conspirator to be charged. The Justice Department said in a memo in July that it did not have evidence to charge any other parties in the case.

Their identities are not revealed in the exchange. One is described as a “wealthy business man in Ohio,” while “3 have been located in FL and served [grand jury] subpoenas; 1 in Boston, 1 in NYC, and 1 in CT were located and served.”

The three others are “out of pocket,” the email said.

It’s unclear what information investigators pursued or found about the potential co-conspirators. Maxwell is the only Epstein accomplice to be charged criminally, and it’s not clear whether she’s one of the 10 people referenced.

Epstein had a history of turning some of his young victims into recruiters.

KWLT LAUNCHES 2025 SEASON

On May 20, The Kitchener-Waterloo Little Theatre (KWLT) held its 2025 season launch event at Revive Karaoke Bar, where they celebrated their 90th anniversary and revealed this year’s theme: community and acceptance. 

The event introduced KWLT’s upcoming shows and featured this season’s directors—Ryan Bassett, Eliza Grafton, and Elisabeth Wallis—who spoke about their productions, including You’re a Good Man, Charlie Brown; The Prince and God of Carnage. 

“I’m excited to see people’s reactions to the shows we’ve picked,” Adrienne Dandy, the former president of KWLT, said. 

She was also excited for people to see the artwork that local artist Trevor Clare made to celebrate KWLT’s 90th anniversary. 

“He’s painted the theatre, and we’re doing a fundraiser where we’re getting a portion of the profits from the photographs of each print he sells,” Dandy said. 

Gaya Bin Noon, KWLT’s artistic director, said they chose this year’s theme through the artistic steering committee, which is a group of volunteers at KWLT who review all proposals sent by directors and decide on the theme. 

“We ask members of our community to submit their ideas and artistic visions. So, we review all the proposals and read all the scripts. It’s a couple of months of intense work,” Bin Noon said. “It’s a very collaborative process.” 

“We’re expecting about 60 people at the event, and we bring everyone together in a room and announce any initiatives we’re trying to put together that are different from the main stage shows,” Victoria Robertson, the vice president of the KWLT, said. 

She also said the season consists of three main performances and four smaller shows. Each show is a three-month commitment with nine showings. The fall show is about being lost and figuring out who you are, the middle show is about finding community and discovering personal identity, and the third show is a big celebration between friends. 

“I’m excited for all three, and we’re putting together a couple of other experimental things,” Robertson said. 

In addition to its mainstage season, KWLT plans to launch several initiatives to increase community engagement across Waterloo. These initiatives include March Madness (a theatre competition), Popcorn Plays and next year’s New Works Festival. These events will offer newcomers and seasoned artists opportunities to get involved in shorter productions. 

For the launch event, the News Works Collective, a free community playwriting circle, worked alongside KWLT as part of this season’s studio series, where members of the collective could write and direct a play for KWLT. 

“The New Works Collective is meeting regularly throughout the season, and we will stage works that our members wrote,” Morgan Anderson, co-founder of the New Works Collective, said. 

As KWLT enters its 90th year, it invites community members—whether seasoned performers or curious newcomers—to participate in a season centred around connection and acceptance.

@adapalmer

I can see the merit of your argument.

People on the Italian mainland always seem to have been prone to deception and back-stabbing, it seems...Prime literary examples, #ColleenMcCullough's #Cesar saga and #ThePrince by #Macchiavelli (not to mention the #Borghias, for that matter.)

I'd still argue that THEM not knowing what was about to happen, did not make it "sudden." It needn't have been. They were apparently in ignorance of many martial principles,...
