New Emails Uncover Trump's Ties to Jeffrey Epstein, Raising Questions About His Involvement
In a bombshell revelation, emails obtained by Democrats on the House Oversight Committee suggest that President Donald Trump spent "hours" at convicted sex trafficker Jeffrey Epstein's mansion with one of his victims. The messages, which were taken from thousands of pages reviewed by the committee and independently verified by CNN and NYT, appear to confirm that Trump was aware of Epstein's illicit activities.
According to emails exchanged between Epstein and accomplice Ghislaine Maxwell, Trump referred to himself as "that dog that hasnβt barked," a phrase that implies he had knowledge of Epstein's actions but chose not to speak out. One email specifically mentions that a victim, identified as Virginia Giuffre, spent hours at Epstein's house with Trump, yet police officials and others were never informed.
The emails contradict Trump's previous claims that he did not visit Epstein's island home or engage in any illicit activities with the billionaire. In an interview with journalist Michael Wolff, Epstein claimed that Trump asked Ghislaine Maxwell to stop recruiting sex trafficking victims, suggesting that Trump was aware of her activities. The White House has since denied these allegations, calling them a "hoax" and accusing Democrats of creating a "fake narrative" to smear President Trump.
Rep. Robert Garcia, the committee's ranking member, accused the White House of hiding the nature of the relationship between Epstein and Trump. "The more Donald Trump tries to cover up the Epstein files, the more we uncover," he said in a statement. The Democrats' investigation has sparked outrage among some Republicans, with Karoline Leavitt, White House Press Secretary, labeling the emails as a "smear" campaign.
As this story continues to unfold, many are left wondering how far Trump's involvement with Epstein went and whether the President knew about or was aware of the billionaire's sex trafficking activities.
