Jeffrey Epstein, in newly released email, says Trump ‘knew about the girls’

The late convicted sex offender Jeffrey Epstein alleged that President Donald Trump knew about the girls he was trafficking, according to new emails from Epstein’s estate released by Democrats on the House Oversight and Government Reform Committee Wednesday morning.

The new emails are part of a trove of materials handed over by Epstein’s estate to congressional investigators on the Oversight panel, which has been investigating the Epstein case for months.

The committee has also subpoenaed the Department of Justice for records around its handling of the Epstein case, but the administration has turned over relatively few non-public materials. Democrats have alleged it is part of a cover-up.

“Trump said he asked me to resign, never a member ever,” Epstein wrote in a 2019 email to Michael Wolff, an apparent plea from the president for Epstein to leave Trump’s Mar-a-Lago club. “[O]f course he knew about the girls as he asked ghislaine to stop.”

Wolff, the recipient, is likely the journalist who has written at length about the Trump presidency. He was referencing Ghislaine Maxwell, a convicted Epstein co-conspirator currently serving prison time for her alleged crimes.

Epstein also wrote in an email in 2011 to Maxwell that Trump was a “dog that hasn’t barked” — what appeared to mean that Trump had not disclosed details about Epstein’s activities. Epstein added that a victim, whose name was redacted, spent hours with Trump.

Trump has denied wrongdoing in relation to the Epstein allegations. No evidence has so far suggested that Trump took part in Epstein’s trafficking operation. The president also has maintained that he and Epstein had a falling out years ago.

The White House did not immediately respond to a request for comment Wednesday morning.
