House Oversight Releases Epstein Emails Claiming Trump ‘Knew About the Girls’

Democrats say the newly posted records undercut the president’s denials.

Overview

  • House Oversight Committee members published thousands of Epstein-related records on November 12, including emails in which Epstein asserts that Donald Trump knew about girls in his circle.
  • In an April 2011 email to Ghislaine Maxwell, Epstein wrote that a victim spent hours at his home with Trump and referred to Trump as “the dog that didn’t bark.”
  • A 2015 exchange shows Epstein asking author Michael Wolff about crafting a debate response for Trump, with Wolff suggesting strategic options for handling questions on their ties.
  • Democrats highlighted a page presented as a Trump birthday note to Epstein that features a nude sketch and a “Donald” signature, which the White House calls fake as news outlets note past signatures that appear similar.
  • Trump and the White House deny wrongdoing and knowledge of abuse, Democrats are pressing for fuller disclosure, a Quinnipiac poll reports 63% disapproval of Trump’s handling, and no new criminal charges against him emerged from the release.
