Overview
- Democrats on the House Oversight Committee published a tranche of emails and other materials drawn from roughly 23,000 records supplied by Jeffrey Epstein’s estate.
- Mid‑2018 emails show Larry Summers exchanging messages with Epstein that referenced New York, a United Nations contact and a contemporaneous critique of President Donald Trump.
- Other released communications quote Epstein in 2011 saying Trump had spent hours at his house with a victim and later asserting that Trump knew about the girls, statements that have not been proven in court.
- Trump has repeatedly denied knowledge of Epstein’s alleged crimes and has said he ended their relationship years before Epstein’s 2019 arrest.
- With Adelita Grijalva being sworn in, House leaders are preparing a vote on wider disclosures as Republicans roll out their own cache and both parties argue over redactions and access to Justice Department files.
