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...

On Wednesday morning, Democrats on the House Oversight Committee released a package of emails, obtained by the Epstein estate, in which the convicted sex offender wrote, among other things, that Trump had spent hours at Epsteins house with one of Epsteins victims. In a separate message, Epstein said the future president knew about the girls.
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.
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.
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.

Apparently the Epstein Files have materials that is much worse than pictures of him with naked girls.

I think whatever Trump did with regard to Epstein was much worse than "knowing". We've all learned over the last few

With 1000 FBI agents having worked on the Epstein files, leaks should be expected. I'm just surprised it took so long...

So many people here seem to downplay the fact that Trump knew what was going on.
