Convicted pedophile Jeffrey Epstein claimed that Donald Trump “knew about the girls” in private emails, according to Democrats on the House Oversight Committee.
Trump was mentioned in emails between the late sex offender and an associate in Trump’s circle, according to newly released emails from the committee.
Trump did not send or receive any of the emails and has not been accused of any wrongdoing.
“Oversight Dems have received new emails from Jeffrey Epstein’s estate that raise serious questions about Donald Trump and his knowledge of Epstein’s horrific crimes,” Democrats posted on social media. “Read them for yourself. It’s time to end this cover-up and RELEASE THE FILES.”
In one email to the author Michael Wolff dated January 31, 2019, Epstein apparently wrote: “Trump said he asked me to resign, never a member ever…of course he knew about the girls as he asked ghislaine to stop,” according to a copy of the email shared by Democrats on the committee.
In another email from April 2011, Epstein claimed to Ghislaine Maxwell, his accomplice, that Trump had “spent hours” with a victim, whose name is redacted in the emails.
“i want you to realise that that dog that hasn’t barked is trump…[VICTIM] spent hours at my hours with him…he has never once been mentioned,” Epstein told Maxwell, according to the emails.
The emails were obtained by Democrats on the committee after they subpoenaed documents and records from Epstein’s estate earlier this year.
The Trump administration was engulfed in a months-long crisis over the Epstein files during the summer after the president campaigned to release the documents last year.
In July, the Justice Department and FBI released a joint memo effectively ruling a line under the matter, and said no further documents would be released.
The move sparked uproar within MAGA and beyond, as Democrats pursued the release of the files.
