Overview
- Republicans published the full trove after Democrats circulated selected emails, escalating a fight over redactions and interpretation.
- Epstein wrote in 2011 that Trump had "spent hours" with a victim at his house and said in 2019 that Trump "knew about the girls," according to emails released by Congress.
- GOP members identified the previously redacted victim as the late Virginia Giuffre, who had earlier said she never saw Trump behave inappropriately.
- The correspondence shows Epstein cultivating media influence, including offering a reporter photos of Trump with girls in bikinis and discussing debate messaging with Michael Wolff.
- The documents detail Epstein’s extensive ties to elite figures, with reporting noting no evidence in the archive that those men participated in his sexual abuse.
