Donald Trump faces fresh scrutiny as new emails released give insight into Jeffrey Epstein’s criminal actions before his death.
On November 12, the US House Democrats released new information that shed further light on disgraced pedophile financier Jeffrey Epstein.
While Donald Trump has repeatedly denied any illegal behavior and wrongdoing, his relationship with Epstein remains a hot topic.
From the release, it was revealed that Trump was referenced repeatedly in conversations between Epstein and Ghislaine Maxwell, who is currently serving 20 years in jail for sex trafficking.

The emails were dated between 2011 to 2019.
In one of the emails, journalist and author Michael Wolff wrote to Epstein asking if there is ‘anything you think I should ask’ as he had an upcoming interview with Trump.
Epstein replied: “Do you want to be provocative?”
He then went on to seemingly joke about asking Trump about his failed airline, Trump Shuttle, as well as ‘Hawaiian Tropic contests’ an apparent reference to the beauty pageants Trump was known to organize and judge in the 90s and 2000s.
Another email between Epstein and Wolff had the financier claim that Trump ‘knew about the girls’
Epstein wrote: "[Victim name - redacted] mara lago. [redacted]. trump said he asked me to resign, never a member ever. . of course he knew about the girls as he asked ghislaine to stop."
Trump has repeatedly denied knowing about the sex trafficking that Epstein was conducting and insisted that the pair had a falling out years before he was arrested and charged with a slew of crimes.
One email to Maxwell read: "I want you to realize that that dog that hasn’t barked is Trump," adding that an unnamed victim 'spent hours at my house with him, he has never once been mentioned'.
Maxwell responded: "I have been thinking about that."
Trump has vehemently denied any wrongdoing and argued that these revelations come as an attempt at a distraction by the Democrats.
Following the release of these emails the White House Press Secretary, Karoline Leavitt, issued a statement to UNILAD dismissing any notion of Trump's involvement in anything illegal.
Leavitt also identified the unnamed victim and stated that she was the late Virginia Giuffre. Before her death, Giuffree said she didn't witness any wrongdoing from the president during her interactions with him.
Leavitt's statement read: "The Democrats selectively leaked emails to the liberal media to create a fake narrative to smear President Trump.
"The ‘unnamed victim’ referenced in these emails is the late Virginia Giuffre, who repeatedly said President Trump was not involved in any wrongdoing whatsoever and 'couldn’t have been friendlier' to her in their limited interactions.
"The fact remains that President Trump kicked Jeffrey Epstein out of his club decades ago for being a creep to his female employees, including Giuffre.
"These stories are nothing more than bad-faith efforts to distract from President Trump’s historic accomplishments, and any American with common sense sees right through this hoax and clear distraction from the government opening back up again."
Trump also wrote on Truth Social: "The Democrats are doing everything in their withering power to push the Epstein Hoax again, despite the DOJ releasing 50,000 pages of documents, in order to deflect from all of their bad policies and losses, especially the SHUTDOWN EMBARRASSMENT, where their party is in total disarray, and has no idea what to do.
"Some Weak Republicans have fallen into their clutches because they are soft and foolish. Epstein was a Democrat, and he is the Democrat’s problem, not the Republican’s problem!
"Ask Bill Clinton, Reid Hoffman, and Larry Summers about Epstein, they know all about him, don’t waste your time with Trump. I have a Country to run!"
