The Democrats have released emails in which Jeffrey Epstein suggested US President Donald Trump was aware of the disgraced financier’s sexual abuse and had “spent hours” with one of his victims at his house.
Trump has denied any knowledge of the sex-trafficking activities of his former friend, who died by suicide in 2019 as he was in prison awaiting trial, and the White House accused Democrats of pushing a “fake narrative” by sharing the emails.

House Democrats are intensifying scrutiny over newly unveiled messages, raising significant concerns about former President Donald Trump’s awareness of Jeffrey Epstein’s appalling activities. The messages, which emerged on Wednesday, have amplified calls for transparency and accountability from the Trump era.

The newly released emails were written to longtime associate Ghislaine Maxwell, who was convicted of sex trafficking after Epstein’s death, and the author Michael Wolff.
In the messages, Epstein asserts Trump spent significant time with a woman whom Oversight Democrats describe as a victim of Epstein’s sex trafficking.
In one email to Wolff shared by Democrats and dated January 31, 2019, Epstein allegedly 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.”
In another message from April 2011, Epstein told Maxwell: “I want you to realise that that dog that hasn’t barked is Trump.” He added that an unnamed victim “spent hours at my house with him, he has never once been mentioned”.

Intriguingly, Ghislaine Maxwell, a central figure in the Epstein scandal, remarked, “I have been thinking about that…” Her response hints at deeper layers of knowledge regarding the connections between Trump and Epstein.

Democrats on the House Oversight Committee obtained the emails after subpoenaing Epstein’s estate earlier this year.
Trump has not been accused of any criminal wrongdoing in connection with Epstein or Maxwell.
The furore around the disgraced financier is still roiling Trump’s administration four months after his Justice Department effectively closed the case, announcing there was no more information to share.

Amidst this unfolding drama, Democrats on the House Oversight Committee are seizing the moment. They are actively pushing for a vote to ensure the complete release of Epstein-related documents, aiming to uncover the full extent of any political ties or cover-ups.

In a parallel political landscape, the longest government shutdown in U.S. history seems to be nearing its conclusion. After weeks of deadlock, both parties appear to be inching towards an agreement, potentially bringing relief to many Americans affected by the standoff.

Speaking at a press conference after the release, White House press secretary Karoline Leavitt told reporters: “These emails prove absolutely nothing, other than the fact that President Trump did nothing wrong.”
Leavitt said in an earlier statement that the “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”.
“The fact remains that President Trump kicked Jeffrey Epstein out of his club decades ago for being a creep to his female employees, including Giuffre,” she added.
Trump wrote a pair of Truth Social posts accusing Democrats of “using the Jeffrey Epstein Hoax to try and deflect from their massive failures, in particular, their most recent one — THE SHUTDOWN!”

However, Trump’s recent public criticisms have left many of his supporters feeling disillusioned. Influential voices within the movement and ordinary citizens alike express feelings of betrayal, as they had hoped for more forthright answers from the former president regarding his connections to the scandal.

Epstein saga continues following 7 July bombshell

In a 7 July memo, the Justice Department said the Epstein “client list” that attorney general Pam Bondi claimed to have been reviewing did not in fact exist, and reaffirmed that he died by suicide in his prison cell.
It sparked a furious backlash from Trump’s “MAGA” support base, who have for years been told by their leaders that a “deep state” cover-up was protecting figures in the Democratic Party whom they accused of being Epstein’s clients.
Trump’s MAGA lieutenants, including two allies who have since been hired to run the FBI, made careers of fanning the conspiracy theories, including that Epstein’s suicide was actually a murder ordered by his powerful clients.

Prominent online influencers and media figures in the movement, as well as ordinary voters, have spoken of feeling betrayed after Trump began publicly castigating them for wanting answers.

Trump’s ties to Epstein are extensive.

The pair were pictured partying together during a 15-year friendship before they reportedly fell out in 2004 over a property deal, and when Trump subsequently denounced his former ally.
Epstein admitted to two state felony prostitution charges in 2008 as part of a plea deal, arranged by a prosecutor who would go on to serve in Trump’s cabinet, that was widely criticised as being too lenient.
