Democrats on the House Oversight Committee on Wednesday released Jeffrey Epstein's emails that appear to suggest that Donald Trump may have known about the victims he abused and spent “hours” with one of them. The emails were included in a new batch of documents received by the committee.
Democrats posted images of three emails on the X platform in which Epstein and his partner Ghislaine Maxwell mention Trump, with whom they were friends for years.

The first is news from April 2011. – three years after Epstein was first convicted of soliciting minors for sex.
“I want you to realize that the dog that didn't bark is Trump…” Epstein wrote to Maxwell, adding that one of his victims – whose name was censored by the commission – “spent hours with him” at Epstein's home and yet “his name was not mentioned.”
“I was thinking about it…” Maxwell replied.
The second email is a 2015 dialogue between Epstein and writer Michael Wolffauthor of controversial books about the Trump presidency. On the day of the pre-election debate on CNN, Wolff wrote to Epstein that he had heard that the network intended to ask Trump about his relationship with Epstein (according to CNN, no such question was ultimately asked). Epstein asked Wolff that if he could compose Trump's response to this question, what it should be. In response, Wolff said Epstein should “let him hang himself.”
“If he says he wasn't on your plane or your house, that gives you valuable PR and political currency. You can hang him in a way that potentially gives you positive benefits, or, if it really looks like he might win, you can save him by generating debt,” the writer advised. But he added that it's possible Trump will say that “Jeffrey is a great guy who was treated badly and is a victim of political correctness that will be outlawed under the Trump regime.”
The third email is from 2019.in which Epstein wrote to Wolff that Trump never asked him to resign from his Mar-a-Lago club because he was never an official member.
“Of course he knew about the girls because he asked Ghislaine (Maxwell) to stop,” he added.
The context of these messages is not fully known. As Wolff told CNN, he was engaged in detailed conversations with Epstein about his relationship with Trump and these emails were part of that conversation.
Democrats on the Oversight Committee said that the new documents “raise serious questions about Donald Trump and his knowledge of Epstein's terrible crimes.”
The White House has not yet commented on the matter.
White House spokeswoman Karoline Leavitt in her statement blamed the Democrats for what they did “selective leakage” to liberal media to “create a false narrative to smear President Trump.”
The vice chairman of the oversight committee, Rep. Robert Garcia, said he would soon release the rest of the documents he received, but only after censoring the names of Epstein's victims.
Trump and Epstein were neighbors and friends in Palm Beach, Florida, for years. Trump claimed that he eventually kicked Epstein out of his club. When asked about the reasons, the president explained that it was about Epstein “poaching” his employees, masseuses from Mar-a-Lago.
The published emails are among over 23,000. documents the House committee received from lawyers representing the estate of Epstein, who police say committed suicide in custody in 2019 ahead of his upcoming federal trial on child abuse charges. The previous tranches revealed, among others: Trump's alleged birthday card for Epstein's 50th birthday, in which he mentioned the secrets between the two men. The text was inscribed in a sketch of the silhouette of a naked woman. Trump claimed he was not the author of the drawing and sued the Wall Street Journal, which first reported the case.
