The U.S. House Committee on Oversight and Government Reform today released newly-obtained emails (pdf) from Jeffrey Epstein’s estate that indicate convicted felon/sexual abuser/President Donald J. Trump was aware that his then-friend Epstein was sex trafficking girls.
The Committee specifically cites three emails Epstein authored that were sent to his accomplice Ghislaine Maxwell and author Michael Wolff.
In one email dated April 2, 2011, Epstein wrote that Donald Trump “spent hours at my house” with one of his sex trafficking victims, whose name was redacted. In that email, Epstein referred to Trump as the “dog that hasn’t barked.”
The Oversight Committee says,
“In another email with author Michael Wolff in 2019, Epstein wrote explicitly that Donald Trump, ‘knew about the girls as he asked ghislaine to stop.'”
In another email with Wolff in 2015, Epstein and Wolff discuss “crafting an answer” for Trump’s upcoming CNN interview. Wolff characterized Epstein’s leverage over Donald Trump by saying, “If he [Trump] says he hasn’t been on the plane or to the house, then that gives you a valuable PR and political currency.”
The Epstein Estate released a total of 23,000 documents that the Oversight Committee is currently reviewing.
In a press release the House Oversight Committee issued today, 11/12/25, about the newly-obtained documents, Congressman Robert Garcia, ranking member of the House Oversight Committee said,
“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.”
In a post made at 10:45 a.m. today on the social media site “X,” formerly Twitter, Rep. Garcia wrote,
“The President could end all this speculation and do right by survivors by releasing the full files, NOW.
If he’s done ‘nothing wrong,’ then let’s prove it.”
