Epstein's emails stir new doubts over Trump's past denials
"Another Epstein email in January 2019 to the writer Michael Wolff author of several books on Trump's presidency is more direct, yet tantalizingly incomplete. Once again mentioning a victim's redacted name, it makes an unexplained reference to Mara Lago [sic], Trump's Florida home and club, before going on to say, Trump says he asked me to resign, never a member ever."
"Trump told reporters during his first presidency in July 2019 that he had banned Epstein but did not explain the reasons. I did have a falling out a long time ago, he said. The reason doesn't make any difference, frankly. He has repeated the assertion several times while trying to dissociate himself from a man he once praised lavishly. Last summer, he said he had expelled Epstein for luring spa attendants away from Mar-a-Lago."
Leaked emails from Jeffrey Epstein's correspondence contain ambiguous and contradictory references to Donald Trump that revive speculation about Trump's knowledge of Epstein's conduct. An April 2011 email from Epstein to Ghislaine Maxwell states, "that dog that hasn't barked is Trump," and Maxwell replies that a redacted victim spent hours at her house with him yet "has never once been mentioned." A January 2019 email to Michael Wolff references Mar-a-Lago and reports Trump saying "he asked me to resign, never a member ever." Trump publicly asserted he had banned Epstein, citing a falling out and denying relevance of the reason.
