Jeffrey Epstein claimed Donald Trump spent hours at his house with one of his alleged victims, according to newly released emails.
The pedophile financier named Trump multiple times in emails to Ghislaine Maxwell and the author Michael Wolff over a period of 15 years, according to the messages released by Democrats on the House Oversight Committee.
Epstein asserts Trump ‘knew about the girls’ in an email referring to his expulsion from the president’s club for procuring young women at Mar-a-Lago.
In one email dated April 2, 2011, Epstein wrote to Maxwell: ‘i want you to realize that that dog that hasn’t barked is trump.. [VICTIM] spent hours at my house with him ,, he has never once been mentioned. police chief. etc. im 75 % there.’
Maxwell replied: ‘I have been thinking about that…’
The context of their exchange is not clear. Around three years earlier, Epstein was jailed in Florida after pleading guilty to solicitation of prostitution with a minor.
The communications were released on Wednesday after Democrats subpoenaed Epstein’s estate earlier this year.
Trump did not send or receive any of the emails, and he has not been charged with any crime in relation to Epstein or Maxwell.

They also include an exchange between Epstein and Wolff in January 2019 during Trump’s first term. Wolff wrote a book about the president’s first term and is known to have interviewed Epstein.
‘trump said he asked me to resign,’ Epstein wrote, adding, ‘never a member ever. . of course he knew about the girls as he asked to Ghislaine to stop.’
The name of one of Epstein’s alleged victims is redacted in the email released by the Democrats to protect her identity.
The White House has said Trump banned the pedophile from Mar-a-Lago ‘for being a creep’ and the president himself has claimed Epstein ‘stole’ young women who worked at the spa.
Trump expelled Epstein around October 2007, according to the club’s registry.
In a third email, Wolff sent Epstein an email with the subject line ‘heads up’ on December 15, 2015 – the day of a Republican primary debate televised by CNN.
‘I hear CNN planning to ask Trump tonight about his relationship with you–either on air or in scrum afterwards,’ Wolff wrote to Epstein.
Epstein replied, ‘If we were able to craft an answer for him, what do you think it should be?’
Wolff responded, ‘I think you should let him hang himself. If he says he hasn’t been on the plane or to the house, then that gives you a valuable PR and political currency.
‘You can hang him in a way that potentially generates a positive benefit for you, or, if it really looks like he could win, you could save him, generating a debt. Of course, it is possible that, when asked, he’ll say Jeffrey is a great guy and has gotten a raw deal and is a victim of political correctness, which is to be outlawed in a Trump regime.’
