New Epstein Emails Reveal Trump Mentioned in Shocking Correspondence with Epstein and Maxwell
New Epstein Emails Reveal: House Democrats have once again reignited public interest in the Jeffrey Epstein case after releasing a new batch of emails that reportedly mention former President Donald Trump. These emails, obtained from Epstein’s estate, include conversations with Ghislaine Maxwell and author Michael Wolff — and they paint a picture of a much closer and more complicated connection between Trump and the late financier than previously known.
What the New Epstein Emails Reveal
According to the House Oversight Committee, the three emails come from 2011, 2015, and 2019 — years after Epstein’s 2008 conviction for sex crimes.
In one 2011 email to Ghislaine Maxwell, Epstein referred to Trump as “the dog that hasn’t barked.” He claimed that Trump “spent hours at my house with one of the girls,” adding that the encounter “has never once been mentioned” by police.
In another 2019 message to Michael Wolff, Epstein allegedly wrote that “of course [Trump] knew about the girls as he asked Ghislaine to stop.” The message didn’t elaborate, but it raised new concerns about whether Trump had prior knowledge of Epstein’s activities.
And in a 2015 exchange with Wolff, Epstein discussed Trump’s upcoming CNN interview. Wolff advised him, “I think you should let him hang himself. If he says he hasn’t been on the plane or to the house, that gives you valuable PR and political currency.”
These emails suggest that Epstein saw potential leverage in his relationship with Trump — and that their connection was deeper than Trump has admitted.

Trump’s Denial and His Version of Events
Donald Trump has repeatedly denied any wrongdoing or connection to Epstein’s sex-trafficking ring. He’s described Epstein as a “creep” and said their friendship ended long before Epstein’s 2019 arrest.
According to Trump, the two fell out in the early 2000s after Epstein “hired away” young female spa workers from Mar-a-Lago, his private club in Palm Beach. In past interviews, Trump has claimed he banned Epstein from the club and hadn’t spoken to him in over 15 years.
However, the newly revealed emails have added fresh scrutiny to that narrative — especially since Epstein wrote them years after their supposed falling-out.
Why New Epstein Emails Matter
The release comes amid growing political tension in Washington. Democrats on the House Oversight Committee, led by Rep. Robert Garcia (D-Calif.), said the emails raise “glaring questions about what else the White House is hiding and the nature of the relationship between Epstein and the President.”
Republican Rep. Thomas Massie and Democrat Rep. Ro Khanna are leading a bipartisan petition to force a House vote to release all Epstein-related files. They argue that “the public deserves transparency and survivors deserve justice.”
Democrats claim that House Speaker Mike Johnson delayed the vote by keeping the chamber out of session and postponing the swearing-in of Rep. Adelita Grijalva, who became the 218th signature needed to move the measure forward.
Ghislaine Maxwell and the Clemency Rumor
Adding to the controversy, a whistleblower reportedly informed the House Judiciary Committee that Ghislaine Maxwell — Epstein’s longtime partner and co-conspirator — is seeking a commutation from Donald Trump.
Maxwell is currently serving a 20-year prison sentence for sex-trafficking crimes. Lawmakers, including Rep. Jamie Raskin, warned Trump not to consider granting clemency, saying:
“You should not grant any form of clemency to this convicted and unrepentant sex offender.”
Background: Epstein, Trump, and Their History
Jeffrey Epstein and Donald Trump were known to be friends in the 1990s and early 2000s. Both moved in elite social circles in New York and Palm Beach, Florida. They attended parties together, and Trump was once quoted in 2002 calling Epstein a “terrific guy” who liked women “on the younger side.”
Their relationship appeared to fade around 2004. Reports suggest it might have ended over a real estate bidding war in Palm Beach, though Trump’s later explanation blamed Epstein’s behavior toward young women at Mar-a-Lago.
Epstein’s 2008 plea deal in Florida allowed him to avoid serious federal charges — a decision widely criticized for its leniency. He was arrested again in 2019 on federal sex-trafficking charges but died by suicide in jail shortly afterward.
Political Fallout and Public Pressure
The renewed focus on the Epstein files has created political headaches for both parties. Trump’s opponents accuse him of hiding information, while some of his supporters demand that all Epstein-related records be released — even if it implicates powerful figures across the political spectrum.
The White House has so far declined to comment on the newly surfaced emails, and NPR noted that their authenticity has not been independently verified.
Still, the documents have already reignited public debate about transparency, accountability, and whether the government is withholding key evidence about Epstein’s network.
Final Thoughts
The Epstein saga continues to haunt American politics, revealing uncomfortable links between power, money, and abuse. Whether or not the emails prove Trump knew about Epstein’s crimes, they’ve reopened a conversation that many hoped was over.
As Rep. Ro Khanna said, “The public deserves transparency — and the survivors deserve justice.”
