Democrats on the House Oversight Committee have released new emails showing convicted sex offender Jeffrey Epstein frequently mentioning Donald Trump in private messages over the past 15 years. Epstein told his friend Ghislaine Maxwell and author Michael Wolff that Trump spent a lot of time with people he called victims of Epstein’s sex trafficking and that Trump knew “the girls” involved. These emails mainly predate Trump’s presidency.
The emails also discuss disputes over Trump’s claim that Epstein was banned from Mar-a-Lago for stealing young women. Epstein’s messages contradict this, saying Trump knew about the victims. Trump denies wrongdoing and did not send or receive these emails, but the revelations have brought renewed attention to his ties with Epstein.
Notable emails include a 2011 message from Epstein to Maxwell saying Trump spent hours at Epstein’s house with one victim, and a 2019 email to Wolff stating, “Of course he knew about the girls.” The White House says Trump expelled Epstein from Mar-a-Lago for inappropriate behavior.
The House Oversight Committee obtained over 23,000 documents from Epstein’s estate under subpoena and released the emails with victims’ names and sensitive info redacted. This disclosure is part of an ongoing investigation into Epstein’s sex trafficking network and its connections to powerful individuals. The revelations have reignited debates over transparency and accountability among Epstein’s associates.
