Congress releases an email in which Epstein says Trump spent hours' with victim of sex trafficking

"House Democrats released new emails from millionaire pedophile Jeffrey Epstein this Wednesday, the day the government shutdown is expected to come to an end. In one of them, Epstein writes that Donald Trump spent hours at the financier's home with one of the victims, whose name appears redacted to preserve her privacy. In other messages, Epstein who died in 2019 in a maximum-security cell while awaiting trial, accused of abusing hundreds of minors"

"He knew about the girls, he writes in another email. Trump has always denied having any knowledge of Epstein's crimes, and it has never been proven that he participated in or was complicit in them. The U.S. president maintained a 15-year relationship with the convicted sex offender, which lasted until around 2004, when they stopped seeing each other. That was before the first case of child abuse in 2006"

"The shadow of Epstein's crimes has followed Trump since the financier's death. The memory of that old friendship has resurfaced in the first months of his second presidency, even causing him the greatest crisis among his MAGA followers, some of whose most prominent members have spent years speculating about the case an appalling web of sexual abuse with hundreds of victims. A group of these victims recently went to Congress to demand justice."

House Democrats released new emails from Jeffrey Epstein the day the government shutdown was expected to end. In one message Epstein wrote that Donald Trump spent hours at the financier's home with a victim whose name was redacted. In other messages Epstein, who died in 2019 while awaiting trial, suggested the then real-estate mogul and reality TV star was aware of the girls and Epstein's behavior. Trump has denied knowledge and has not been proven to have participated or been complicit. The two maintained a roughly 15-year relationship that ended around 2004. The allegations have resurfaced during Trump's second presidency; victims went to Congress to demand justice, while DOJ and FBI said they would not release more Epstein documents.
