Overview
- The committee published three emails from 2011, 2015, and 2019 in which Epstein wrote that Donald Trump "spent hours" at his house with a victim and "knew about the girls" as he asked Ghislaine Maxwell to stop.
- Democrats say the emails came from a trove of roughly 20,000–23,000 documents obtained from Epstein's estate and were released in redacted form as part of their investigation.
- The White House rejected the release as a selective leak intended to smear the president and said the unnamed person referenced was Virginia Giuffre, who has publicly said Trump was not involved in wrongdoing.
- With Democrat Adelita Grijalva set to provide the final signature on a discharge petition, House Democrats are moving to force a vote to compel the Justice Department to make the Epstein records public.
- Separately, Rep. Jamie Raskin said Maxwell is preparing a commutation application after her transfer to a minimum‑security Texas camp, as allegations of preferential treatment there draw scrutiny from lawmakers and victims' advocates.
