Democrats on the House Oversight Committee released emails by Jeffrey Epstein on Wednesday in which he appears to suggest President Donald Trump had at least some knowledge of his sexual abuse of women, sparking new speculation about Trump’s relationship with the late financier.
House Democrats released three email exchanges, provided by Epstein’s estate, in which Epstein mentions Trump, which were with associate Ghislaine Maxwell and writer Michael Wolff and were sent between 2011 and 2019.
The emails, released as part of the House Oversight Committee’s broader investigation into the Epstein case, do not explicitly say Trump had any involvement with Epstein’s abuse—and suggest Trump asked Maxwell “to stop”—but raise new questions about whether the president had knowledge of the financier’s sex-trafficking scheme.
