WASHINGTON ― The late sexual predator Jeffrey Epstein suggested to confidants that President Donald Trump knew about his criminal activity, according to email messages made public Wednesday.
Trump “knew about the girls,” Epstein wrote in one of the three emails released by Democrats on the House Oversight Committee.
The emails, culled from thousands of documents obtained from a committee subpoena to the Epstein estate, have previously not been made public, the Democrats said. The messages undermine the president’s efforts to downplay his relationship with Epstein, who died in prison in 2019 while facing federal charges related to sex trafficking minors.
In another of the messages, from 2011, Epstein tells Ghislaine Maxwell, his partner in crime, that Trump is the “dog that hasn’t barked” because he’d spent time with someone whose name is redacted as “VICTIM.”
“i want you to realize that that dog that hasn’t barked is trump,” Epstein wrote. ”[VICTIM] spent hours at my house with him,, he has never once been mentioned.”
