The White House is once again dismissing the furor over bombshell emails from deceased pedophile Jeffrey Epstein referencing President Donald Trump as part of a “hoax” and has revealed the identify of the victim named in one of those emails in an effort to discredit them.
White House Press Secretary Karoline Leavitt said in a statement that the victim who was identified in the email from Epstein to co-conspirator Ghislaine Maxwell was Virginia Giuffre, the former Mar-a-Lago employee who the president previously said was “stolen” from his Palm Beach, Florida club by Epstein.
Leavitt accused Democrats of having “selectively leaked” the email from Epstein to Maxwell — and two others referencing the president between Epstein and and author Michael Wolff — in an effort to “create a fake narrative to smear President Trump.”
“The ‘unnamed victim’ referenced in these emails is the late Virginia Giuffre, who repeatedly said President Trump was not involved in any wrongdoing whatsoever and “couldn’t have been friendlier” to her in their limited interactions,” she said.
Continuing, Leavitt repeated a disputed claim that Trump had “kicked Jeffrey Epstein out of his club decades ago for being a creep to his female employees, including Giuffre” and accused news outlets that are reporting on the released emails of engaging in “bad-faith efforts to distract from President Trump’s historic accomplishments.”
“Any American with common sense sees right through this hoax and clear distraction from the government opening back up again,” she added.
The White House’s aggressive pushback on the latest revelations from a tranche of documents turned over to Congress by Epstein’s estate comes on the day House Speaker Mike Johnson is expected to administer the oath of office to Representative-elect Adelita Grijalva, the incoming Arizona congresswoman whose swearing-in has been delayed for months in what Democrats have called a deliberate effort by the Trump loyalist to prevent her from adding her signature to a discharge petition — a parliamentary maneuver to bring legislation to the floor without the Speaker’s consent — that would force a vote on legislation to release case files from the criminal investigation into the deceased child rapist and sex trafficker.
