Newly released emails from the Jeffrey Epstein estate reveal that Epstein referred to Donald Trump as “the dog that hasn’t barked” and claimed an alleged victim had spent time with Trump at his home, according to Democrats on the House Oversight Committee.
The 2011 exchange with Ghislaine Maxwell was among three emails disclosed from over 23,000 documents subpoenaed by the committee.
Other emails show Epstein corresponding with author Michael Wolff about Trump’s relationship with him, including discussions on how Trump might respond to media questions and a 2019 message referencing whether Trump had banned Epstein from Mar-a-Lago.
The release comes as House Democrats push a bill to compel the Department of Justice to disclose its full Epstein files, which the DOJ has so far declined to release, ABC News has reported.
Lawmakers say the emails raise new questions about Epstein’s ties to Trump, while the former president has dismissed the matter as a political “hoax.”
