"House Democrats released a batch of emails on Wednesday that suggest President Donald Trump was aware of Jeffrey Epstein's sex crimes and did nothing to report them. The messages, sent by Epstein to his associates-including chief accomplice Ghislaine Maxwell-contradict the White House's claims that Trump had no real relationship with Epstein and was ignorant of his criminal offenses. They also seem to discredit Maxwell's recent testimony to Deputy Attorney General Todd Blanche, who solicited her suspiciously rosy account of Trump's role this past summer."
"A week later, she was transferred to a minimum-security prison, reportedly with special approval by the Trump administration, where she gets extraordinary privileges like customized meals, playtime with puppies, unlimited toilet paper, special access to guests with computers. It all looked a lot like a quid pro quo. During that interview, Maxwell did what Blanche wanted her to do, which was to claim that Trump and Epstein weren't close friends at all, and Trump didn't know anything about Epstein's sex crimes."
House Democrats released emails suggesting President Donald Trump was aware of Jeffrey Epstein's sex crimes and failed to report them. The messages, sent by Epstein to associates including Ghislaine Maxwell, contradict claims that Trump lacked a relationship with Epstein and was ignorant of his offenses. The emails undermine Maxwell's recent testimony to Deputy Attorney General Todd Blanche and raise questions about Blanche's role. Blanche interviewed Maxwell in July as part of an effort to exonerate Trump, and Maxwell was transferred a week later to a minimum-security facility with extraordinary privileges, which appears to resemble a quid pro quo and suggests possible interference by the administration.
