"There's a sickening sense of recognition attending the release from Democrats on the House Oversight Committee of a new cache of e-mails from Jeffrey Epstein and his associates indicating that Donald Trump had full knowledge of the pedophile sex trafficker's activities-and indeed " spent hours "at Epstein's house with one of Epstein's victims, as one of the e-mails from 2011 says."
"This is, after all, the same Donald Trump who had been close friends with Epstein for more than a decade prior to the still-unexplained falling out between the two in the mid-aughts. It's the same Trump who creepily lurked in the dressing room of the Miss Teen USA pageant he sponsored, and who still more creepily touted his own young daughter's erotic appeal in media interviews."
New emails from Jeffrey Epstein associates indicate Donald Trump had knowledge of Epstein's sex-trafficking activities and reportedly " spent hours " at Epstein's house with an alleged victim. Trump maintained a close friendship with Epstein for more than a decade before a mid-2000s falling out. Multiple incidents and allegations portray a pattern of troubling behavior, including dressing-room presence at Miss Teen USA, lewd comments captured on Access Hollywood tapes, apparent amusement at accusations against others, an E. Jean Carroll civil judgment, and findings related to campaign payoffs to Stormy Daniels. Republicans have expressed concern about the public release of Epstein-related documents while Trump pledged to open Epstein files during the 2024 campaign.
