“Of course he knew about the girls”: New emails reveal Trump “spent hours” at Epstein’s house
Democrats on the House Oversight Committee released emails Wednesday in which convicted sex trafficker Jeffrey Epstein said President Donald Trump spent significant time at Epstein’s house with one of his victims.
The emails, taken from thousands of pages reviewed by the committee and independently reviewed by CNN and NYT, appear to suggest Trump knew about Epstein’s actions.
In one email to accomplice Ghislaine Maxwell, Epstein referred to Trump as “that dog that hasn’t barked.”
“[VICTIM] has spent hours at my house with him,” Epstein wrote. “He has never once been mentioned. Police chief, etc.”
The victim in question was identified as Epstein accuser, Virginia Giuffre, who died by suicide earlier this year.
EPSTEIN BOMBSHELL: Newly released emails show Jeffrey Epstein told Ghislaine Maxwell that Donald Trump “spent hours at my house,” “knew about the girls,” and “that dog that hasn’t barked is trump.”
Trump has denied any wrongdoing related to his personal relationship with Epstein, saying he “did not have the privilege” to visit his island home.
Trump also claimed to have banned Epstein from his Mar-a-Lago club for “being a creep.”
Maxwell said she “never witnessed” Trump in any “inappropriate setting in any way.” She also denied Trump traveling to Epstein’s residence and denied recruiting sex trafficking victims at Mar-a-Lago, when speaking with Deputy Attorney General Todd Blanche in July.
However, some of the emails appear to contradict his and Maxwell’s claims.
“Trump asked me to resign, never a member ever,” Epstein wrote to journalist and author Michael Wolff. “Of course he knew about the girls as he asked Ghislaine to stop.”
Rep. Robert Garcia, D-Calif., the committee’s ranking member, accused the White House of “hiding…the nature of the relationship between Epstein and the President.”
“The more Donald Trump tries to cover up the Epstein files, the more we uncover,” Garcia said in a committee statement on Wednesday.
White House Press Secretary Karoline Leavitt called the emails “a hoax” and accused Democrats of making “a fake narrative to smear President Trump.”
