"I want you to realize that that dog that hasn't barked is trump.. [Victim] spent hours at my house with him."

Shortly afterwards, the White House put out a statement saying the unnamed victim was Virginia Giuffre who "repeatedly said President Trump was not involved in any wrongdoing whatsoever".
Since that statement, BBC Verify has been combing through the documents released by the Republican-controlled House Oversight Committee. It has found the same email - in a file named HOUSE_OVERSIGHT_031326.txt.
However, unlike the fully redacted one put out by the US House Democrats, a name does appear:
"i want you to realize that that dog that hasn't barked is trump.. virignia spent hours at my house with him ,,"

(6,796 posts)I mean, that's what she said before she turned up dead at the beginning of this year, anyway.
Ooooof.
Anyway, what did Trump think young Virginia was doing at the house of his dear friend who, as Trump used to love to joke, "liked them young har har?"

(38,208 posts)Did you mean this for me?
No, I have no links. I hardly follow this shit. But I'm pretty sure Trump's never been a witness under oath, or we'd have heard about it. I could be wrong

(9,861 posts)...yet I don't believe he was called as a witness in any similar trials you mentioned either.

(20,089 posts)Even if she did it on her own, who knows if the mental anguish she was enduring came from seeing what happened to Epstein and fearing that something might happen to her as well. And then there's Ivana and the stairs and the weird, unceremonious burial. And who could forget his weirdo doctor, who died in 2021. I'm not sure, but I don't believe a cause of death was ever released at that time. Sort of feels like the Layla montage in Goodfellas.

I'm thinking that Epstein was making a general comment about his former friend, rather than any kind of political prediction.

This timing could be quite relevant.

(11,510 posts)on all we have seen, the overt bigotry, the greed, the spitefulness, the constant bragging, the lies, the blaming of others, the sheer hatred, the manipulation, the enthusiasm to make millions suffer, the total lack of empathy---Trump is not a human being, he's has no soul, he has no conscience, he's a monster capable of anything.

(39,444 posts)The only thing we can do is scour the Epstein documents and try to find evidence against Chump that might be in there.
Virginia Roberts Giuffre never filed charges against Chump, only against Epstein and Maxwell. (According to Giuffre's own testimony, she was never abused by Chump.) But there are hundreds of women who are potential victims of Epstein, many of whom were underage at the time. Of those victims, how many were also victimized by Chump? We don't know, until the documentary evidence is released.
Several DUers believe that Chump was one of the traffickers along with Epstein and Maxwell. In other words, he recruited girls for his modelling agency and beauty pageants, and it's possible that some were then brought into Epstein's group. They used to promise these girls careers in modelling and acting, etc. and many of them came from poverty and broken homes, so it all sounded good to them.
Was Chump in business with Epstein? We don't know, but we need to find out.

(172,486 posts)House Democrats released an email in which Epstein wrote that Trump had spent hours at my house with one of Epsteins victims.
Knowing that Donald Trump and Jeffrey Epstein were friends is one thing.

Seeing Epsteinâs âof course he knew about the girlsâ email is something else. www.msnbc.com/rachel-maddo...

In April 2011, for example, as Trump took on a higher political profile, Epstein sent an email to longtime confidante Ghislaine Maxwell that read: i want you to realize that that dog that hasnt barked is trump.. (REDACTED) spent hours at my house with him ,, he has never once been mentioned. police chief. etc. im 75 % there.
A direct email exchange from 2011 between Jeffrey Epstein and Ghislaine Maxwell, just released by House Oversight Committee Democrats.

The fact that Trump and the late millionaire pedophile had a relationship is not new. Not only have we all seen the video footage of the two men hanging out, but as my MSNBC colleague James Downie noted, Trump told New York magazine in 2002: Ive known Jeff for 15 years. Terrific guy. Hes a lot of fun to be with. It is even said that he likes beautiful women as much as I do, and many of them are on the younger side......
Theres also this email, in which Epstein wrote that Trump of course ... knew about the girls.
Link to tweet
Democratic Rep. Robert Garcia of California, the ranking member on the House Oversight Committee, said in a statement: The more Donald Trump tries to cover-up the Epstein files, the more we uncover. These latest emails and correspondence raise glaring questions about what else the White House is hiding and the nature of the relationship between Epstein and the President. The Department of Justice must fully release the Epstein files to the public immediately. The Oversight Committee will continue pushing for answers and will not stop until we get justice for the victims.
