Newly released emails from the House Oversight Committee show Jeffrey Epstein mentioned President Donald Trump multiple times over a 15-year span in exchanges with Ghislaine Maxwell and author Michael Wolff.
The emails—subpoenaed from Epstein’s estate—include one from 2011 in which Epstein wrote to Maxwell, “that dog that hasn’t barked is trump,” referring to Trump’s silence about a woman Democrats identified as Virginia Giuffre. Epstein claimed Trump “spent hours” with her and “knew about the girls.” Trump was not a recipient of the emails and has denied any involvement or knowledge of Epstein’s alleged crimes, maintaining he banned Epstein from Mar-a-Lago “for being a creep.”
In another email from 2019, Epstein wrote to Wolff disputing Trump’s claim that he had been expelled from Mar-a-Lago, saying, “never a member ever… of course he knew about the girls as he asked Ghislaine to stop.”
Wolff also warned Epstein in 2015 that CNN might question Trump about his relationship with Epstein during a debate, to which Epstein suggested strategizing a response. Wolff replied, “You should let him hang himself… or save him, generating a debt.”
Maxwell, who was later convicted of sex trafficking, told investigators she never saw Trump act inappropriately and described him as “a gentleman.”
Trump’s past ties to Epstein remain under scrutiny as Congress pushes for the release of federal files on Epstein’s death and associations.
