Newly released emails obtained by the House Oversight Committee show that Jeffrey Epstein, the disgraced financier and convicted sex offender, referenced Donald Trump multiple times in private correspondence over more than a decade.
In a 2019 email to a journalist, Epstein claimed that Donald Trump “knew about the girls,” apparently alluding to Ghislaine Maxwell’s recruitment of girls connected to Mar-a-Lago.
The emails, part of a cache of 23,000 documents obtained from Epstein’s estate, have reignited debate over the president’s connection to Epstein, a relationship Trump has repeatedly sought to distance himself from.
