House Democrats today released emails in which Jeffrey Epstein is shown implying that Donald Trump knew the truth about the network of pimping and sexual exploitation of underage girls that he had set up with Ghislaine Maxwell as an accomplice.
It is recalled that Trump and Epstein had friendly relations in the 1990s and into the early 2000s – friendly relations in the context of which they had a series of meetings mainly in New York and Florida. Their relationship reportedly deteriorated from around 2004 onwards.
Trump himself has admitted that he knew Epstein, emphasizing, however, that he knew nothing about the pimping and sexual exploitation cases.
But what did Epstein himself say about Trump in the emails he exchanged with his friends and associates?

According to the NY Times, the messages are certain to reignite the debate on Capitol Hill about the Trump administration's handling of the Epstein files, which have not yet been released to the public. It is worth recalling that this issue has even divided Republicans, causing rifts in the ranks of the MAGA movement and Trump supporters.
The three email exchanges published date back to 2011. One of these messages was addressed to Ghislaine Maxwell and the other two to author Michael Wolfe.
In one of these emails, in April 2011, Epstein appears to write, addressed to Maxwell, that the dog that has not yet barked is Trump and that, while one of the girls spent hours at my house with him, he has never been mentioned.
In another email, in January 2019, Epstein writes to Wolff about Trump: Of course he knew about the girls ….
Wolfe allegedly exchanged a series of emails with Epstein in December 2015 regarding Trump, when the latter was already a candidate for the Republican presidential nomination.

Wolf had sent an email to Epstein warning him that CNN was planning to ask Trump about their relationship.
Epstein had replied: If we could give him an answer, what do you think it should be?
Wolf had advised him not to do anything, implying that Trump might try to deny their close relationship. I think you should let him hang (ed.: exposed/self-named), he had written about Trump. If he says he wasn’t on the plane or at home, then that gives you a valuable trump card that you could use to “hang” him later or to “save him, but make him owe you something.
