Overview
- Emails released Wednesday span 2011, 2015, and 2019 and include messages where Jeffrey Epstein asserted that President Trump knew about his trafficking and that a named victim spent hours with him.
- In an April 2011 note to Ghislaine Maxwell, Epstein wrote that the “dog that hasn’t barked is Trump” and claimed the victim spent hours at his house with Trump.
- In a January 2019 email to author Michael Wolff, Epstein wrote “of course he knew about the girls,” referencing Mar-a-Lago and claiming Trump asked him to resign as a member, which Epstein disputed.
- A December 2015 exchange shows Epstein offering a journalist alleged photos of “Donald and girls in bikinis” in his kitchen and describing Trump being distracted by young women.
- The White House identified the referenced victim as the late Virginia Giuffre and cited her past statements saying Trump was not involved in wrongdoing, as the documents also show Epstein’s outreach to figures including Kathryn Ruemmler, Larry Summers, Michael Wolff, Peggy Siegal, and Ghislaine Maxwell.
