Overview
- The disclosed messages include a 2019 email to author Michael Wolff in which Epstein wrote that Trump knew about the girls and asked Ghislaine Maxwell to stop.
- Democrats also posted a 2011 email attributed to Epstein saying Trump spent several hours with an identified victim at Epstein’s home.
- The White House rejected the implications as a fabricated narrative, and officials pointed to Virginia Giuffre’s past statements saying Trump did nothing improper in their limited interactions.
- Republicans criticized the selective nature of the Democratic release and said they will publish roughly 20,000 additional pages received from Epstein’s legatees.
- The push comes after Trump’s earlier promise to disclose Epstein files and a July finding of no new material, with the broader context of Epstein’s 2019 jailhouse suicide and Maxwell’s 20‑year sentence.
