Claim: Screenshots authentically show 2013 emails from Jeffrey Epstein claiming that Donald Trump "doesnt like black girls" and "calls them 'boogers.'"

Rating: Fake

The screenshot (archived) supposedly showed emails Epstein sent to someone labeled "SP" in which Epstein allegedly wrote: "trump will be there. doesnt like black girls,, calls them 'boogers' , wont go w in 10 feet."

The above screenshot was fake. We found no evidence in the Epstein files of these emails referencing Trump's alleged dislike of Black girls.

We dug through the Epstein files released by the DOJ using a range of search terms including "trump," "boogers" and "black girls" and found no results matching the screenshot. Although the DOJ has reportedly deleted some files after initially uploading them, we found no credible reports that this one was ever included in the release. We thus concluded that the above screenshot was fabricated.

The screenshot appeared to have originated from X account @AFPost, which has since deleted the post. The account has a history of posting unverified claims. We have reached out to the account to learn more about the origin of the screenshot and will update this story accordingly.
