US lawmakers have made public more than 20,000 pages of documents from the estate of Jeffrey Epstein, the disgraced financier and convicted sex offender, with some files making reference to former President Donald Trump.
On Wednesday, Democrats on the House Oversight Committee released several email exchanges between Epstein, his long-time associate Ghislaine Maxwell, and author Michael Wolff, known for his books on Trump. Epstein died in prison in 2019, while Maxwell is currently serving a 20-year sentence for sex trafficking.
In response, House Republicans published a much larger set of Epstein-related documents, accusing Democrats of “cherry-picking” information to create “a fake narrative to slander President Trump.
White House Press Secretary Karoline Leavitt also criticized the release, calling it a politically motivated attempt to smear Trump. She reiterated that Trump had banned Epstein from his club years ago, describing him as “a creep to his female employees, including Giuffre. One of the emails published by Democrats, dated 2011, shows Epstein telling Maxwell that “the dog that hasn’t barked is Trump,” adding that a victim, whose name was redacted, had spent hours with Trump but never mentioned him in any allegations. Maxwell replied, “I have been thinking about that.
