The White House spokeswoman, commenting on the case during Wednesday's briefing, referred to Epstein's correspondence with Ghislaine Maxwell from 2011, which mentions a meeting between Trump and one of the financier's victims. “These emails prove absolutely nothing except that President Trump did nothing wrong.” Leavitt said. She also added that Virginia Giuffre, the aforementioned Epstein victim who committed suicide earlier this year, testified in court that Trump had not behaved inappropriately towards her.

The disclosed documents also show that in 2019, Epstein, in a conversation with journalist Michael Wolff, admitted that Trump did not ask him to resign from his membership in the Mar-a-Lago club, as he was never its official member. In one of the emails, Epstein also allegedly stated that Trump knew about the girls but asked Ghislaine Maxwell to stop certain activities.
Leavitt emphasized that Trump broke off his relationship with Epstein because of his pedophilic tendencies. The president himself previously claimed that the reason for the end of their relationship was Epstein's alleged stealing of masseuses from his club, including Virginia Giuffre.
A White House spokeswoman also said that the Trump administration had released all documents related to the Epstein case that could be published. At the same time, she confirmed reports of pressure on Republican congressmen to withdraw their signatures from a petition to force a vote on full disclosure of documents in this case.
