Jeffrey Epstein, in newly released emails, says Trump ‘knew about the girls'

A Fresh Batch of Documents Emerges

Newly released correspondence obtained by the House Oversight Committee includes emails in which Jeffrey Epstein claimed Donald Trump “knew about the girls” and had asked Ghislaine Maxwell to stop.

One email from 2011, written by Epstein to Maxwell, describes Trump as “the dog that hasn’t barked” and alleges that a victim “spent hours at my house” with him.

Another message sent in 2019 claimed Trump was aware of the girls Epstein and Maxwell were exploiting. These communications are part of thousands of pages of estate documents recently handed over to Congress.

None of the new documents allege that Trump directly participated in trafficking or abuse, but they raise questions about his awareness of Epstein’s activities during that period.

How the White House Responded

The White House rejected the emails as a partisan attack. Press Secretary Karoline Leavitt said the claims were “another recycled smear” and asserted that the unnamed victim referenced in the emails is Virginia Giuffre, who publicly denied misconduct by Trump prior to her death earlier this year.

Officials reiterated that Trump has “zero involvement” with Epstein’s criminal network and suggested Democrats are selectively releasing materials for political gain.

Congressional & Legal Fallout

The emails add pressure on congressional investigators who are already demanding fuller disclosure from the Epstein estate and the Department of Justice.

Members of the Oversight Committee are seeking unredacted versions of additional documents, arguing that the public deserves clarity on the extent of Epstein’s networks and relationships.

The disclosures could accelerate calls for:

• Broader subpoenas
• Hearings on potential cover-ups
• Release of sealed DOJ and FBI files tied to Epstein’s operations

Even if Trump does not face legal exposure, the political ramifications are significant, particularly with renewed scrutiny on those who associated with Epstein in the 2000s and 2010s.

What’s at Stake

The emails don’t prove criminal behavior by Trump, but they raise important questions:

• How much did Trump know about Epstein’s trafficking?
• Why did Epstein describe him as someone who had “not barked”?
• What other names or details remain redacted in the documents?

As more files are reviewed, investigators may uncover additional communications or corroborating notes from Epstein’s inner circle.

Final Take

The newly surfaced emails deepen the public and political scrutiny surrounding Trump’s past ties to Epstein. While they stop short of alleging direct participation, they highlight claims of awareness, which could shape both public perception and congressional priorities in the coming months.
