Jeffrey Epstein claimed Donald Trump spent hours at his house with Virginia Giuffre, the Daily Mail has learned.

The pedophile financier named Trump multiple times in emails to Ghislaine Maxwell and the author Michael Wolff over a period of 15 years, according to the messages released by Democrats on the House Oversight Committee.

In an email dated April 2, 2011, Epstein wrote to Trump discussing a victim whom the Democrats redacted from their release.

But the Daily Mail has obtained the unredacted email which reveals he was referring to Virginia Giuffre - who stated in her memoir that Trump never did anything wrong.

Epstein said to Maxwell: 'i want you to realize that that dog that hasn't barked is trump.. virignia [sic] spent hours at my house with him, he has never once been mentioned. police chief. etc. im 75% there.'

Maxwell replied: 'I have been thinking about that…'

The context of their exchange is not clear. Around three years earlier, Epstein was jailed in Florida after pleading guilty to solicitation of prostitution with a minor.

Giuffre, who committed suicide earlier this year, was recruited by Maxwell while employed as a spa attendant at Mar-a-Lago in 2000. She was 16 years old.

The communications were released on Wednesday after Democrats subpoenaed Epstein's estate earlier this year.

Trump did not send or receive any of the emails, and he has not been charged with any crime in relation to Epstein or Maxwell.

In another email between Epstein and Wolff in January 2019, the convicted sex offender refers to his expulsion from Trump's Mar-a-Lago Club.

'Trump said he asked me to resign,' Epstein wrote, adding, 'never a member ever. . of course he knew about the girls as he asked to Ghislaine to stop.'

Wolff recorded over a hundred hours of conversation with Epstein from roughly 2014 to 2019, and described their contact as a working relationship for several major book projects, including Fire and Fury - an account of the first Trump administration.

The White House has said Trump banned the pedophile from Mar-a-Lago 'for being a creep' and the president himself has claimed Epstein 'stole' young women who worked at the spa.

Trump barred Epstein around October 2007, according to the club's registry.

In a third email, Wolff wrote to Epstein with the subject line 'heads up' on December 15, 2015 - the day of a Republican primary debate televised by CNN.

'I hear CNN planning to ask Trump tonight about his relationship with you–either on air or in scrum afterwards,' Wolff wrote to Epstein.

Epstein replied, 'If we were able to craft an answer for him, what do you think it should be?'

Wolff responded, 'I think you should let him hang himself. If he says he hasn't been on the plane or to the house, then that gives you a valuable PR and political currency.

'You can hang him in a way that potentially generates a positive benefit for you, or, if it really looks like he could win, you could save him, generating a debt.

'Of course, it is possible that, when asked, he'll say Jeffrey is a great guy and has gotten a raw deal and is a victim of political correctness, which is to be outlawed in a Trump regime.'

Trump revealed new details about his split from Epstein in July, saying he banned the financier from Mar-a-Lago for poaching spa employees, including Giuffre.

Speaking aboard Air Force One during a trip to Scotland, Trump said Epstein twice hired away workers despite being warned, prompting him to declare Epstein 'persona non grata.'

Trump said Giuffre 'might have been' one of the employees Epstein recruited.

The White House remains under pressure to release Epstein-related Justice Department files.

House Republicans have subpoenaed Maxwell, who is serving a 20-year sentence, and her lawyers are now seeking immunity in exchange for testimony before Congress.

The House is set to return to Washington on Wednesday to end the government shutdown - and a vote on the Epstein files is likely to come once members are back in town.
