Jeffrey Epstein files saying Donald Trump 'knew about the girls' released by House Democrats as White House alleges a 'smear campaign'
"The Democrats cite exchanges with author Michael Wolff and Ghislaine Maxwell, a British socialite and Epstein's former girlfriend who is serving a 20-year prison sentence on charges including sex trafficking of a minor. Among the exchanges is a 2019 email to Wolff in which Epstein said that Trump "knew about the girls as he asked Ghislaine to stop," and a 2011 message to Maxwell from Epstein asserting that Trump had "spent hours at my house" with one of his victims, whose name is redacted."
"She said in a statement that the unnamed person referenced in the emails is Virginia Giuffre, who had accused Britain's Prince Andrew and other influential men of sexually exploiting her as a teenager and who died by suicide in April. Andrew has rejected Giuffre's allegations and said he didn't recall meeting her. Leavitt said in a statement that Giuffre had "repeatedly said President Trump was not involved in any wrongdoing whatsoever and 'couldn't have been friendlier' to her in their limited interactions.""
Democrats cite email exchanges involving Michael Wolff and Ghislaine Maxwell that reference Jeffrey Epstein and alleged interactions involving President Trump. One 2019 email to Wolff quotes Epstein saying Trump "knew about the girls as he asked Ghislaine to stop," and a 2011 message to Maxwell alleges Trump "spent hours at my house" with a victim whose name is redacted. Trump has vehemently denied knowledge of Epstein's sex trafficking and said he and Epstein were once friends before a falling out; Epstein died by suicide in 2019. White House spokeswoman Karoline Leavitt called the emails selectively leaked to create a fake narrative, identified the unnamed person as Virginia Giuffre, noted Giuffre had accused Prince Andrew and died by suicide in April, and stated that Giuffre had repeatedly said Trump was not involved and that Trump had kicked Epstein out of his club decades earlier.
