Donald Trump is under increased scrutiny as newly released emails provide insights into Jeffrey Epstein’s criminal activities prior to his death.
On November 12, US House Democrats unveiled new details that further illuminate the actions of disgraced financier Jeffrey Epstein.
Despite Donald Trump’s repeated denials of illegal behavior or misconduct, his association with Epstein continues to be a subject of interest.
The documents revealed that Trump was frequently mentioned in discussions between Epstein and Ghislaine Maxwell, who is currently serving a 20-year sentence for sex trafficking.
The emails date from 2011 to 2019.
In one email, journalist and author Michael Wolff reached out to Epstein, asking if there was “Anything you think I should ask,” as he prepared for an upcoming interview with Trump.
Epstein responded: “Do you want to be provocative?”
He then seemingly joked about questioning Trump regarding his failed airline, Trump Shuttle, and the ‘Hawaiian Tropic contests,’ a nod to the beauty pageants Trump was known for organizing and judging in the 1990s and 2000s.
In another email exchange with Wolff, Epstein alleged that Trump “knew about the girls.”
Epstein wrote: “[Victim name – redacted] mara lago. [redacted]. trump said he asked me to resign, never a member ever. . of course he knew about the girls as he asked ghislaine to stop.”
Trump has consistently denied any knowledge of the sex trafficking activities conducted by Epstein, maintaining that their relationship ended years before Epstein’s arrest on various charges.
An email to Maxwell stated: “I want you to realize that that dog that hasn’t barked is Trump,” with mention of an unnamed victim who “spent hours at my house with him, he has never once been mentioned.”
Maxwell replied: “I have been thinking about that.”
Trump has strongly refuted any allegations of misconduct, suggesting these revelations are an attempt by the Democrats to distract from other issues.
