Trump β€˜Knew About the Girls,’ Epstein Wrote in Newly Released Emails

0

Newly released emails from Jeffrey Epstein suggest that president Donald Trump was aware of Epstein’s abuse of underage girls β€” and even spent time with one of the victims. The messages, made public by Democrats on the House Oversight Committee, have ignited a political storm that could rattle the White House for weeks.

In one email from 2011, Epstein told Ghislaine Maxwell that Trump β€œspent hours at my house” with one of his victims. He described Trump as β€œthat dog that hasn’t barked,” adding that it was curious the then-businessman β€œhad never once been mentioned” in the long-running scandal surrounding Epstein’s sex trafficking network.

If Epstein were still alive, one might imagine him smirking while typing that line. He seemed to know his message would one day cause trouble β€” and it has.

The Democrats who released the documents say they show that Trump’s connection to Epstein was deeper than he’s ever admitted. β€œThe more Donald Trump tries to cover up the Epstein files, the more we uncover,” said California Representative Robert Garcia, the committee’s ranking Democrat. β€œThese 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.”

A second email, written by Epstein to Trump biographer Michael Wolff in April 2011, paints an even more uncomfortable picture. In that message, Epstein insisted, β€œTrump said he asked me to resign, never a member ever … of course he knew about the girls as he asked Ghislaine to stop.”

That single line β€” β€œof course he knew about the girls” β€” is already echoing through Washington like a bad ringtone that won’t go away.

The White House has not commented on the new emails, though Trump himself has long denied any knowledge of Epstein’s crimes. During his first term, he called Epstein β€œa terrible man” and claimed they’d had a falling out β€œmany years ago.” But these emails seem to suggest that Epstein thought otherwise β€” and wasn’t afraid to say so.

Ghislaine Maxwell, Epstein’s long-time associate, is currently serving a 20-year sentence for her role in recruiting and grooming girls for abuse. Epstein killed himself in federal custody in 2019, though conspiracy theories still swirl around his death.

The Democrats’ release of the emails appears designed to force the White House to open what they call β€œthe Epstein Files” β€” a mysterious trove of government and private records that could shed light on Epstein’s connections to the powerful. For now, the files remain sealed, and the administration is refusing to release them. That has only added to the speculation.
