House Democrats released a set of documents on Wednesday, including Jeffrey Epstein’s emails, that raise new questions about his relationship with Donald Trump and Trump’s knowledge of Epstein’s crimes.
The emails show Epstein claiming that Trump “knew about the girls” and that Trump “spent hours at my house” with one of Epstein’s victims. The messages were included among thousands of pages of documents turned over to Congress as part of the ongoing fight over the release of the Epstein files.
In one 2011 exchange with Ghislaine Maxwell, Epstein wrote that “the dog that hasn’t barked is Trump,” adding that an unnamed victim had spent hours with Trump at Epstein’s home. Another email, from 2019, shows Epstein telling journalist Michael Wolff, “Of course he knew about the girls as he asked Ghislaine to stop.” These statements, if authentic and accurately represented, suggest Epstein believed Trump was aware of his abuse of young girls in real-time.
Trump has long maintained that he cut ties with Epstein in the early 2000s and has denied any knowledge of, or participation in, Epstein’s sex-trafficking activities. Trump’s denials and claims often contradict the publicly known timeline of his friendship with Epstein, which I’ve covered previously in this newsletter.
These emails reignite the debate over why the Trump administration backed away from its promise to release all investigative materials related to the Epstein case. As Democrats push a discharge petition to compel full disclosure, questions linger about what Epstein meant by his cryptic references and what remains hidden in the unreleased Epstein files.
