"House Democrats on Wednesday released emails in which Jeffrey Epstein wrote that President Donald Trump had "spent hours at my house" with one of Epstein's victims, among other messages that suggested that the convicted sex offender believed Trump knew more about his abuse than he has acknowledged. Trump has emphatically denied any involvement in or knowledge of Epstein's sex-trafficking operation."
"The messages are certain to inflame the debate on Capitol Hill over the Trump administration's handling of the Epstein files, and top officials' decision to backtrack on a promise to fully release them. That issue, which has split Republicans and alienated some of Trump's right-wing supporters, had faded to the background as the government shutdown dragged on. But the House is set to return Wednesday to clear legislation to end the shutdown, and attention is likely to shift back to the Epstein matter."
House Democrats released emails in which Jeffrey Epstein wrote that President Donald Trump "spent hours at my house" with one of Epstein's victims. Epstein's messages asserted that Trump "knew about the girls," many of whom were later identified as underage. Trump has denied involvement in or knowledge of Epstein's sex-trafficking operation and said he and Epstein had a falling out. Democrats said the emails raise questions about the relationship between the two men. The White House did not immediately respond to requests for comment. The messages could intensify Capitol Hill debate over the handling and release of Epstein files amid the shutdown.
