On Wednesday, emails from the Jeffrey Epstein files purport that the convicted sex criminal said President Donald Trump “knew about the girls” who were trafficked by Epstein.
The releases from the Epstein Files were shared by Democrats on the House Oversight Committee, showing three emails referencing Trump between 2011 and 2019. Those emails made public are part of a batch of 23,000 documents provided by Epstein’s estate to the Oversight Committee.
In the 2019 email, Epstein told journalist Michael Wolff, “Of course he knew about the girls as he asked Ghislaine to stop.”
A different 2011 email from Epstein called President Trump the “dog that hasn’t barked,” saying that one of the women trafficked by Epstein “spent hours at my house with him”, adding that the interaction “has never once been mentioned.”
After the release of some of the emails related to the Epstein files were made public, White House Press Secretary Karoline Leavitt called them “nothing more than bad-faith efforts to distract from President Trump’s historic accomplishments,” adding that “any American with common sense sees right through this hoax and clear distraction from the government opening back up again.”
The revelation of the emails saw plenty of reactions on social media. Some called them a “bombshell”, while others noted it wasn’t a “smoking gun” but instead a “bonfire.”
