"Damning new emails that suggest Donald Trump knew about the conduct of the late sex offender Jeffrey Epstein were released Wednesday, including one in which Epstein said of course [Trump] knew about the girls that were procured for his sex-trafficking ring. The release of the three messages by Democrats on the House oversight committee is likely to add significant pressure on the White House to release the so-called Epstein files."
"In one of the memos, Epstein wrote to his co-conspirator Ghislaine Maxwell in 2011 that Trump spent hours at my house in the company of one of the disgraced financier's sex-trafficked victims. The memo describes the president as that dog that hasn't barked, and notes Trump had never once been mentioned in connection with what has become a long-running scandal overshadowing his second term of office."
"A second message, sent by Epstein in April 2011 to Trump biographer Michael Wolff, indicates that Trump had asked him to resign from Mar-a-Lago, the president's exclusive members-only club in Florida. But Epstein said he was never a member ever and adds of course he knew about the girls as he asked Ghislaine to stop. Epstein's long-time friend and co-conspirator Maxwell is currently serving a 20-year sentence after her conviction for sex-trafficking crimes, including procuring girls to be abused."
Newly released emails show Jeffrey Epstein told associates that Donald Trump knew about girls procured for Epstein's sex-trafficking ring. One memo recounts Epstein saying Trump spent hours at his house with one of Epstein's sex-trafficked victims and describes Trump as that dog that hasn't barked, noting no prior mentions of Trump in the scandal. Another message indicates Epstein told Michael Wolff that Trump asked Epstein to resign from Mar-a-Lago, and Epstein wrote he was never a member and that of course Trump knew about the girls. Ghislaine Maxwell is serving a 20-year sentence for sex-trafficking convictions. Democrats are pressing for release of the Epstein files amid allegations of a White House cover-up.
