House Democrats Release Epstein Emails Alleging Trump's Knowledge; White House Denies Claims

House Democrats have released a series of emails that they claim raise questions about former President Donald Trump's relationship with convicted sex offender Jeffrey Epstein. One 2019 email from Epstein to author Michael Wolff stated that Trump "knew about the girls," though the context of this remark remains unclear.

The White House has dismissed these allegations, with Press Secretary Karoline Leavitt stating that the emails were selectively leaked to create a misleading narrative against the president.

The release of these emails coincides with the swearing-in of Democratic Representative-elect Adelita Grijalva, whose support is expected to advance a vote on releasing all non-classified Epstein-related files.

This development has intensified scrutiny over Trump's past association with Epstein, as well as the broader handling of the Epstein case by the Justice Department.
