Jeffrey Epstein reportedly boasted: “I am the one able to take [Trump] down.”
The House Oversight Committee on Wednesday released approximately 20,000 pages of documents spanning from 2011 to 2019, revealing explosive claims made by deceased financier Epstein regarding President Donald Trump.
In a 2018 email, Epstein wrote about Democrats’ efforts to remove Trump from office, stating, “They’re really just trying to take down Trump and doing whatever they can to do that!”
He then made a startling claim about being able to “take [Trump] down.”
The documents show Epstein referred to Trump as the “dog who hasn’t barked” in an April 2011 email to Ghislaine Maxwell.
He wrote that a victim had “spent hours at my house with him” and noted that Trump “has never once been mentioned.”
The redacted victim’s name has been confirmed to be Virginia Giuffre, who died by suicide earlier this year.
Giuffre was recruited by Maxwell while working as a spa attendant at Mar-a-Lago in 2000 when she was 16 years old, Resist the Mainstream previously reported.
While Giuffre acknowledged working at Trump’s property, she never alleged any illicit activity involving the president.
The Daily Mail reported that in February 2019, Epstein wrote, “Trump knew of it. and came to my house many times during that period. He never got a massage.”
In another email to author Michael Wolff, Epstein allegedly stated that Trump “knew about the girls as he asked Ghislaine to stop.”
The documents included correspondence between Epstein and New York Times journalist Thomas Landon Jr. from December 2015.
Epstein asked the reporter, “Would you like photos of Donald and girls in bikinis in my kitchen?”
He also claimed Trump nearly walked into a glass door because he was distracted by young women swimming in a pool.
Author Michael Wolff, who recorded over a hundred hours of conversation with Epstein between 2014 and 2019, received an email from Epstein on December 15, 2015.
The financier warned Wolff that CNN planned to ask Trump about their relationship during a Republican primary debate.
When Epstein asked how Trump should respond, Wolff advised letting him “hang himself.”
The author wrote that if Trump denied being on the plane or at the house, it would give Epstein “valuable PR and political currency.” Wolff suggested Epstein could either expose Trump or save him to “generate a debt.”
The Daily Mail highlighted that in January 2018, Epstein responded to a statement Trump made about a Wolff book, writing, “No questions donalds statement was goofy. Early dementia?”
Another email from January 2019 addressed Epstein’s expulsion from Mar-a-Lago, with the financier writing that Trump claimed he asked Epstein to resign, adding, “never a member ever.”
The documents also included a December 2018 email exchange between Epstein and former Obama White House lawyer Kathryn Ruemmler.
Epstein warned about treating Trump “like a mafia don,” writing that unlike a crime boss, the president possessed “great dangerous power.”
He added, “Tightening the noose too slowly, risks a very bad situation.”
In that same exchange, Epstein declared, “You see, I know how dirty donald is.”
He referred to the situation involving Michael Cohen, Trump’s former lawyer, who pleaded guilty to campaign finance violations related to payments made to adult film actress Stormy Daniels.
The White House responded forcefully to the document release.
Press secretary Karoline Leavitt accused Democrats of “selectively leaking the messages to ‘create a fake narrative to smear President Trump.’”
She noted that Giuffre had said Trump “couldn’t have been friendlier” to her during their limited interactions.
Trump posted on Truth Social that Democrats “are trying to bring up the Jeffrey Epstein Hoax again because they’ll do anything at all to deflect on how badly they’ve done” regarding the government shutdown.
He urged Republicans to avoid deflections and focus on “opening up our Country.”
