New Emails Reveal More About Trump's Relationship With Jeffrey Epstein
President Donald Trump's friendship with financier Jeffrey Epstein, who died in prison last year after being convicted of sex trafficking underage girls, has long been a subject of public interest. Recent emails obtained by Congress and released by House Democrats have shed new light on the nature of their relationship.
According to one email, Epstein told journalist Michael Wolff in 2019 that "of course he knew about the girls as he asked Ghislaine to stop." Another email from 2011 shows Epstein's companion and co-conspirator, Ghislaine Maxwell, telling Trump that "the dog that hasn’t barked is trump," suggesting that Trump was aware of Epstein's sexual proclivities.
However, despite these revelations, details about the extent of Trump's involvement with Epstein remain elusive. The emails do not mention any specific incidents or allegations against Trump, and his representatives have consistently denied any wrongdoing.
Trump and Epstein socialized frequently in New York City and Palm Beach from the late 1980s to the early 2000s, often at Mar-a-Lago club in Florida and Epstein's mansion in Manhattan. They were known to host parties featuring attractive young women as guests, and Trump praised Epstein as a "terrific guy" in a 2002 interview.
In 1997, Epstein was investigated for molestation by a 14-year-old girl, but he was eventually charged and convicted of soliciting prostitution from minors. The case was resolved in a sweetheart plea deal in 2008.
More recently, the Palm Beach police received a tip that young women had been seen entering and leaving Epstein's home just two weeks after the property auction where Trump purchased the same mansion as Epstein.
Epstein's victims have pressed their cases in civil lawsuits against him, with attorney Brad Edwards seeking information from various Epstein acquaintances. According to Edwards, Trump was "very helpful" in providing information that assisted these efforts.
While some outlets have raised questions about Trump's involvement with Epstein, details on when this happened remain unclear. In a court filing, Edwards claimed that Trump banned Epstein from Mar-a-Lago after Epstein sexually assaulted an underage girl at the club. However, this story has never been corroborated, and its accuracy is disputed by Trump.
Epstein died in prison last year, reportedly by suicide. His companion, Ghislaine Maxwell, was arrested in 2020 on charges related to his crimes.
The new emails have rekindled public interest in the Epstein scandal and raised fresh questions about Trump's relationship with the financier.

. I mean, Donald Trump and Jeffrey Epstein were friends? It's like something out of a movie, but not the good kind 
. These emails are super weird, right? Like, why did Epstein have to tell Wolff that he knew about the girls as Ghislaine asked him to stop? It's just so... sketchy.
.
. These new emails are like a big ol' puzzle piece that's finally shedding some light on what was happening back in the day.
It's all a bit too much to take in.
I guess we'll never really know for sure.
meanwhile, ghislaine maxwell is getting all the attention for her crimes, but trump's role in it all still feels kinda shady 
. Like who wouldn't wanna hang out with a dude who's into underage girls? 
seems like there's a lot of shady stuff going on here... 2011 email from ghislaine maxwell saying "the dog that hasn’t barked is trump" is straight fire 
and i'm still curious about the parties at mar-a-lago, was it all just a fun social thing or was there something more to it? 
. Trump's team says he did nothing wrong, but some of his friends were involved with Epstein and stuff 
.
.
.
i mean they were so cute! anyway, did you know that there's this one brand of tea that's literally made from tea leaves that are grown in the same soil as ancient tea plants? it's supposed to be super high quality and expensive but honestly who has that kind of money 
. One thing that does seem clear is that Trump has been pretty tight-lipped about his whole relationship with Epstein, which raises some red flags.
. It's wild that Trump is trying to distance himself from this now, like he didn't do anything wrong 
So, Trump was friends with this rich guy who got busted for sex trafficking underage girls? 
That's some shady stuff right there! But what's really interesting is that we're still not seeing a clear picture of just how deep their connection went. 
We need more answers, not just from the politicians who are trying to keep this under wraps, but also from Trump himself. Did he really host parties featuring young women? Was he aware that Epstein was into this sort of thing? 
, and now that new info is out, people are all over it 
. still don't think we'll ever know the full extent of epstein's dealings, but at least we're getting closer to the truth 
. and now that epstein is dead, ghislaine maxwell is in the slammer 
. i'm not saying trump did anything wrong, but it's definitely weird how much he knew about epstein's life and didn't do anything to stop him 
.
this is just so disturbing to think about how much power and influence people like him had over young lives, and how they were able to get away with it for so long... it's not surprising that trump was friends with someone like that, but it still shocks me that he didn't do more to stop epstein from hurting kids. i can only imagine how hard it must be for the victims to relive all of this in the media again
