39. MaddowBlog-Newly disclosed Jeffrey Epstein emails complicate matters for Donald Trump
Wed Nov 12, 2025, 05:30 PM
11 hrs ago

House Democrats released an email in which Epstein wrote that Trump had “spent hours at my house” with one of Epstein’s victims.

Knowing that Donald Trump and Jeffrey Epstein were friends is one thing.

Seeing Epstein’s “of course he knew about the girls” 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 Epstein’s house with one of Epstein’s 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 hasn’t 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: “I’ve known Jeff for 15 years. Terrific guy. He’s 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.”.....

There’s 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.”
