House Democrats have released new emails written by convicted sex offender Jeffrey Epstein in which he suggests that Donald Trump knew of his abuse.
The White Househas described the email as a smear attempt and Trump has always strongly denied having any knowledge of Epstein’s criminal activities.
Three emails were recently published by Democrats on the House Oversight Committee, one between Epstein and associate Ghislaine Maxwell and two sent to author Michael Wolff.
- House Democrats released emails where Epstein suggests Donald Trump knew about abuse involving trafficking victims.
- White House called the emails a smear campaign; Trump has denied any knowledge of Epstein’s criminal actions.
- A bipartisan House petition nears the votes needed to force the release of all Epstein-related documents.

The first email exchange, dated April 2, 2011, was sent from Epstein to Maxwell and claims Trump spent hours with one of Epstein’s trafficking victims.
It reads: “I want you to realize that that dog that hasn’t barked is trump.. [Victim] spent hours at my house with him ,, he has never once been mentioned. Police chief. etc. im 75% there.”
Maxwell responded: “I have been thinking about that…”
A further email exchange between Epstein and Trump biographer Wolff was also handed over to the Committee by Epstein’s estate.

It mentioned Mar-a-Lago, but the end of that sentence has been redacted.
“Trump said he asked me to resign, never a member ever,” Epstein wrote to Wolff on January 31, 2019. “Of course he knew about the girls as he asked ghislaine to stop.”
The other email was sent to Epstein by Wolff on December 16, 2015, just months after Trump announced his presidential bid.
“I hear CNN planning to ask Trump tonight about his relationship with you – either on air or in scrum afterwards,” it reads.

Epstein responded: “If we were to craft an answer for him, what do you think it should be?”
Wolff then advised, “I think you should let him hang himself. If he says he hasn’t been on the plane or to the house, then that gives you a valuable PR and political currency.
“You can hang him in a way that potentially generates a positive benefit for you, or, if it really looks like he could win, you could save him, generating a debt.
“Of course, it is possible that, when asked, he’ll say Jeffrey is a great guy and has gotten a raw deal and is a victim of political correctness, which is to be outlawed in a Trump regime.”

Leader of the House Oversight Democrats Congressman Robert Garcia demanded that the Department of Justice (DOJ) release the Epstein files to clear up vital questions.
Earlier this year, the DOJ said it would not release further Epstein related files after concluding he did not keep a client list and died by suicide in jail.
The decision enraged MAGA and the Trump administration has been grappling with the fallout for months.
Eventually, the House Oversight Committee was ordered to release files related to Epstein, but of the trove of 33,000 documents released, around 97% were reportedly already in the public domain.

“The more Donald Trump tries to cover up the Epstein files, the more we uncover. These latest emails and correspondence raise glaring questions about what else the White House is hiding and the nature of the relationship between Epstein and the President,” Garcia said.
“The Department of Justice must fully release the Epstein files to the public immediately. The Oversight Committee will continue pushing for answers and will not stop until we get justice for the victims.”
In response to the emails, White House Press Secretary Karoline Leavitt said: “The Democrats selectively leaked emails to the liberal media to create a fake narrative to smear President Trump.
Madam @PressSec, if you are concerned about what we released, you can easily fix this.

“The ‘unnamed victim’ referenced in these emails is the late Virginia Giuffre, who repeatedly said President Trump was not involved in any wrongdoing whatsoever and ‘couldn’t have been friendlier’ to her in their limited interactions.
“The fact remains that President Trump kicked Jeffrey Epstein out of his club decades ago for being a creep to his female employees, including Giuffre.
“These stories are nothing more than bad-faith efforts to distract from President Trump’s historic accomplishments, and any American with common sense sees right through this hoax and clear distraction from the government opening back up again.”
The name of the victim was redacted in the emails released by Democrats.

The House Oversight Committee, run by the Republicans, has now released over 22,000 documents it received from Epstein’s estate in response to the emails.
The House is also expected to force a vote on the release of the Epstein files soon after a bipartisan discharge petition hit 217 signatures of the 218 needed.
With newly elected Rep. Adelita Grijalva set to be sworn in, it’s likely she will add the final number needed to trigger the vote.
In September, the committee released Epstein’s 50th birthday book, which included messages from several friends.

One of those is reportedly Trump himself – which the president denies.
An entry in the book allegedly has Trump’s signature below a crude drawing of a naked woman.
“We have certain things in common, Jeffrey,” one part written under “Donald” says.
“A pal is a wonderful thing. Happy Birthday—and may every day be another wonderful secret,” the note concludes.
The newly released emails come a week after House Democrats summoned Andrew Mountbatten Windsor to answer questions over his ties to Epstein.
Andrew’s prince title was revoked by King Charles over his links to the disgraced pedophile.
