House Democrats Release Redacted Epstein Emails Alleging Trump Knew of ‘Girls’ and Spent Hours With Victim

Democrats are moving to force a House vote to compel a full Justice Department release of Epstein records, casting the push as transparency despite White House and Republican claims of politicized selective leaks.

Overview

  • The committee published three emails from 2011 to 2019, including an April 2011 note to Ghislaine Maxwell and two exchanges with author Michael Wolff.
  • Epstein wrote that a woman described as a victim “passed hours in my house with” Trump and separately asserted that Trump “knew of the girls.”
  • Staff redacted victims’ names and identifiers, and the emails were selected from roughly 23,000 pages provided to the panel, leaving broader context unavailable.
  • Democrats say Representative Adelita Grijalva’s signature enables a petition to force a floor vote directing DOJ to release the full set of Epstein-related files.
  • The White House and House Republicans denounced the disclosure as a selective, political hit; Trump has denied knowledge or wrongdoing and labeled the inquiries a hoax.
