House Democrats have released newly obtained emails from Jeffrey Epstein’s estate, revealing that the late financier referenced former President Donald Trump and claimed that Trump “knew about the girls.” The documents were disclosed as part of the House Oversight Committee’s ongoing investigation into Epstein’s history of sexual abuse and his connections to powerful individuals.
Epstein, who died by suicide in 2019 while awaiting trial on federal sex trafficking charges, exchanged the emails with his longtime associate Ghislaine Maxwell and journalist Michael Wolff between 2011 and 2019. His death continues to fuel conspiracy theories suggesting that some of his influential friends may have known about or even enabled his criminal activities.

Inside the Newly Released Emails
According to the committee, the emails were provided by Epstein’s estate and cover nearly a decade of correspondence. One message from 2019, sent just months before his death, shows Epstein writing to Wolff that Trump “knew about the girls.”
“[REDACTED] mara lago. [REDACTED],” Epstein wrote. “Trump said he asked me to resign, never a member ever. Of course, he knew about the girls as he asked Ghislaine to stop.”

The message appeared to refer to Trump’s decision years earlier to sever ties with Epstein. The two had once been friendly, but Trump has said their relationship ended abruptly. He has claimed he banned Epstein from his Mar-a-Lago resort “for being a creep.”
“He took people that worked for me,” Trump said in 2019. “And I told him, ‘Don’t do it anymore.’ And he did it. I said, ‘Stay the hell out of here.’”
White House Denies Allegations
White House press secretary Karoline Leavitt criticized the release of the emails, accusing Democrats of intentionally distorting the story.
“These stories are nothing more than bad-faith efforts to distract from President Trump’s historic accomplishments,” Leavitt said. “Any American with common sense can see through this hoax and the clear attempt to divert attention as the government reopens.”
The Justice Department and FBI previously faced bipartisan scrutiny after issuing an unsigned memo confirming that no new individuals would be charged in connection with the Epstein or Maxwell cases. The memo also stated that no further evidence would be released.
Mentions of a Redacted Victim
Several of the emails refer to a victim whose identity was redacted before publication. White House officials and Republican committee members claimed the unnamed individual was Virginia Giuffre, one of Epstein’s most recognized survivors, who passed away earlier this year.
Trump has said Giuffre worked at Mar-a-Lago before Epstein “stole her.” In her posthumously released memoir, Giuffre wrote that “Trump couldn’t have been friendlier” when she met him at the resort and that she never accused him of any wrongdoing.
Democrats Demand Greater Transparency
Rep. Robert Garcia of California, the top Democrat on the House Oversight Committee, said the newly disclosed messages “raise glaring questions about what else the White House is hiding and the nature of the relationship between Epstein and the President.”
A bipartisan group of lawmakers has been pushing for the full release of Epstein-related files held by the Justice Department. The House is expected to vote on the matter soon, with Rep.-elect Adelita Grijalva expected to provide the decisive 218th signature to force further action.
Republicans Push Back
A spokesperson for the Republican-led committee accused Democrats of “carelessly cherry-picking documents to generate clickbait that is not grounded in the facts.” Later that same day, Republican members released an additional cache of materials — about 20,000 pages of documents reportedly obtained from Epstein’s estate. Trump’s name is mentioned multiple times throughout the collection, which lawmakers are currently reviewing.
Additional Correspondence With Maxwell and Wolff
Another email from 2011, allegedly sent by Epstein to Ghislaine Maxwell, included a reference to Trump spending time with a person the committee identified as a victim.
“I want you to realize that the dog that hasn’t barked is Trump,” Epstein wrote. “[Victim] spent hours at my house with him — he has never once been mentioned. Police chief, etc. I’m 75% there.”

In a 2019 exchange, Epstein contacted Wolff after learning that a major news network planned to question Trump about his relationship with Epstein. Epstein asked Wolff what kind of response Trump should give.
“I think you should let him hang himself,” Wolff replied. “If he says he hasn’t been on the plane or to the house, that gives you valuable PR and political currency.”

Wolff later explained that he had been speaking extensively with Epstein at the time about the former president.
“I was pushing Epstein to go public with what he knew about Trump,” Wolff said. “He turned out to be an enormously valuable source.”
Legal Dispute With the First Lady
Wolff is currently involved in a legal battle with First Lady Melania Trump, who allegedly threatened to sue him to prevent his reporting on her potential links to Epstein. Wolff has filed a countersuit, asserting that her threat was “made for the sole purpose of harassing, intimidating, punishing, or otherwise maliciously inhibiting Mr. Wolff’s free exercise of speech.”
The Pressure Builds
As both political parties release competing sets of documents and trade accusations of bias, the public pressure for full transparency continues to grow. The emails, now part of the official congressional record, have renewed attention on Epstein’s network of elite connections — and on what, if anything, former President Trump knew about his activities.

Repugnicans are bitching about the Dems releasing those emails?
Why?
Because the more evidence that is presented to the public proving trumPutiNyahuStein's connections to epstein, the more the public will even look down on Repugnicans for their obvious covering up of the facts, and that they are protecting a pedophile...
Sadly, ignorant DirtyDiaperDonnie supporters don't believe the women who came forward, saying that they were just trying to make the MAGA KKKing look bad.
They do not even understand that he is a 34-count convicted felon... they think that because he never got sentenced, he was never convicted.
They don't believe E Jean Carroll even though he was adjudicated for it.
