Overview
- House Democrats released three Epstein emails, including a 2011 message to Ghislaine Maxwell saying Trump "spent hours" with a victim and a 2019 note to Michael Wolff asserting Trump "knew about the girls."
- House Republicans countered with about 20,000 additional documents from Epstein’s estate and accused Democrats of cherry‑picking a handful of messages.
- With Rep. Adelita Grijalva sworn in, a discharge petition reached 218 signatures, and Speaker Mike Johnson said he will schedule the House vote next week.
- The White House called the disclosures selective, identified the redacted victim as Virginia Giuffre who had not accused Trump of wrongdoing, and noted the emails do not allege crimes by the president.
- Wolff acknowledged email exchanges and suggested recordings exist of Epstein discussing Trump, while conservative influencers urged supporters to dismiss the releases as political attacks.
