Kaitlan Collins Says Trump White House Is Reeling From New Epstein Revelations: This Has Totally Gotten Out of Their Control'

"This week, the House Oversight Committee released thousands of emails to and from Epstein, the financier and child sex trafficker who authorities say committed suicide in a jail cell in 2019 during Trump's first term. The documents were obtained from Epstein's estate. They are not to be confused with what are colloquially referred to as the Epstein files, which are the documents in possession of the U.S. Department of Justice."

"In one email from 2011, Epstein said President Donald Trump, who was then a private citizen, spent hours at my house with a person whose name had been redacted and who Democrats on the committee instead labeled as Victim. Republicans on the committee cried foul, saying that the name was that of Virginia Giuffre, who said she never witnessed Trump do anything untoward. Giuffre died by suicide this year."

"Collins appeared on Friday's AC360, where she highlighted the contradiction between the Trump administration's insistence that there is nothing left to investigate, even as Trump is now directing the DOJ to open an investigation into Epstein and prominent Democrats. By announcing this investigation, they are only prolonging the Epstein storyline even further, she said. And of course, you have to highlight, it comes four months after the Justice Department said there was nothing else to investigate here."

House Oversight Committee released thousands of emails to and from Jeffrey Epstein obtained from his estate. These documents are distinct from DOJ-held Epstein files. A 2011 email quoted Epstein saying President Donald Trump, then a private citizen, "spent hours at my house" with a redacted person labeled Victim. Republicans on the committee said the redacted name was Virginia Giuffre, who said she never witnessed Trump do anything untoward and who died by suicide this year. Other emails assert that Trump knew about the girls and that Epstein gave his ex-girlfriend to Trump. Trump is directing the DOJ to open a new investigation, prolonging scrutiny months after DOJ said there was nothing more to investigate.
