Jeffrey Epstein claimed President Donald Trump knew about his abuse of women and spent time at Epstein’s house with at least one victim, according to new emails released by House Democrats on Wednesday, raising new speculation about the nature of the president’s relationship with the late financier and whether he had knowledge of Epstein’s sex trafficking scheme.
Democrats on the House Oversight Committee released three email exchanges Wednesday in which Epstein, who died in 2019, appeared to discuss his relationship with Trump and suggest the now-president was aware of Epstein’s alleged sexual abuse of women, many of whom were underage.
Epstein wrote to associate Ghislaine Maxwell in 2011 that an unnamed victim of his “spent hours at my house” with Trump.
