Breaking: Newly Released Epstein Emails Raise Questions About Trump’s Awareness

House Democrats have released previously undisclosed emails from Jeffrey Epstein’s estate that suggest President Trump may have known more about Epstein’s illegal conduct than he has publicly admitted. Shortly after, House Republicans countered by releasing over 20,000 pages of Epstein’s documents. While Trump dismissed the revelations as a “hoax” meant to distract from the government shutdown, the emails paint a detailed picture worth examining.

Three Key Emails Democrats Highlighted:

2011 – “The dog that hasn’t barked”: Epstein wrote to Ghislaine Maxwell that a victim (reportedly Virginia Giuffre, recruited from Mar-a-Lago) “spent hours at my house with him” and noted Trump “has never once been mentioned” despite investigations. Epstein wrote he was “75% there” on something unspecified.

2015 – Strategic planning: Journalist Michael Wolff alerted Epstein that CNN planned to ask Trump about their relationship. They discussed crafting Trump’s response, with Wolff suggesting Epstein could either “hang him” or “save him, generating a debt.”

2019 – Direct accusation: Epstein told Wolff “of course” Trump “knew about the girls” and claimed Trump “asked Ghislaine to stop.”

Other Revealing Exchanges:

• Wolff repeatedly encouraged Epstein to speak publicly against Trump, suggesting it could “garner you great sympathy and help finish him” just before the 2016 election
• Epstein closely monitored Alexander Acosta’s 2017 confirmation as Labor Secretary—the same prosecutor who gave Epstein his lenient 2008 plea deal
• In 2019, Epstein’s adviser analyzed Trump’s financial disclosures in detail, calling them “100 pages of nonsense”
