Trump Denies Epstein Email Claims as BBC Apologizes for Edit and GOP Rift Widens

Democrats’ release of Epstein correspondence revives scrutiny of Trump’s past contacts.

Overview

  • Newly published emails from Jeffrey Epstein released by House Oversight Committee Democrats include a line that Trump “obviously knew about the girls.”
  • One 2011 message described Trump as “that dog that didn’t bark” and said a victim spent “hours” at his home, according to the documents.
  • Speaking to reporters on Air Force One, Trump said he knew nothing about the claims and cast blame at figures including Bill Clinton and Larry Summers, mentioning JPMorgan associates.
  • The BBC acknowledged a misleading edit in a 2024 Panorama episode about Trump’s January 6 speech, issued a personal apology, withdrew the program, and faces a threatened $1–5 billion lawsuit that Trump’s lawyers say has not yet been filed.
  • Republican infighting intensified as Rep. Marjorie Taylor Greene accused Trump of attacking her to deter colleagues before a vote on Epstein files, while reporting says Republicans’ own moves in Congress helped trigger broader document releases.
