House Democrats Release Epstein Emails Alleging Trump Knew of 'the Girls'
Newly released emails from Jeffrey Epstein suggest former President Donald Trump was aware of Epstein's activities, according to House Democrats.
House Democrats have released emails from convicted sex offender Jeffrey Epstein that suggest former President Donald Trump was aware of Epstein's activities. In a 2011 email to Ghislaine Maxwell, Epstein referred to Trump as the "dog that hasn't barked" and mentioned that a victim "spent hours at my house with him."
In a separate 2019 email to author Michael Wolff, Epstein stated, "Of course he knew about the girls as he asked Ghislaine to stop."
The White House dismissed the release as a politically motivated smear campaign. Press Secretary Karoline Leavitt stated that the emails were selectively leaked to create a "fake narrative" against President Trump.
The release coincides with the swearing-in of Representative-elect Adelita Grijalva, whose support is expected to advance a vote on releasing all non-classified Epstein-related files.
House Oversight Committee Ranking Member Robert Garcia called for the Department of Justice to fully release the Epstein files to the public, stating that the emails raise questions about the relationship between Epstein and the President.
