Jeffrey Epstein reportedly questioned whether Donald Trump has 'early dementia' in a series of bombshell emails which have been made public.
The emails were written by convicted paedophile Epstein between 2011 and 2019, with Democrats on the House Oversight Committee publishing the emails on Wednesday (November 12), followed by Republicans on the committee releasing thousands more messages, which included communications to and from Epstein.
Trump himself did not send or receive the emails and hasn't been accused of wrongdoing. The president has consistently denied any knowledge of Epstein's crimes and denied any wrongdoing.
The 79-year-old has also responded to the email leak in a post on Truth Social, claiming that Democrats are 'trying to bring up the Jeffrey Epstein Hoax again' to 'deflect on how badly they’ve done on the Shutdown, and so many other subjects'.

Epstein, who died by suicide in 2019, is infamous for his connections to numerous powerful figures, and in the emails, he makes frequent reference to Trump, including making alleged comments about his mental state.
One series of messages from 2017 features Epstein messaging a reporter, in which he allegedly suggests that Trump could have 'early dementia', while another to the reporter says: "Donald is f*cking crazy."
Meanwhile, another email to the same reporter saw Epstein supposedly describe Trump as 'evil beyond belief', adding: "Mad, and most thought i was speaking metaphorically."
In another series of emails, Epstein spoke to writer and journalist Michael Wolff to 'craft an answer' for Trump about the president's relationship with Epstein.
On December 16 2015, Wolff wrote: “I hear CNN planning to ask Trump tonight about his relationship with you--either on air or in scrum afterwards."
Epstein reportedly asked: “If we were to craft an answer for him, what do you think it should be?”
Wolff replied: “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.”
Other emails alleged that Trump 'knew about the girls' and that the president had reportedly 'spent many hours' with an unnamed victim.
The White House Press Secretary, Karoline Leavitt, gave a statement to UNILAD dismissing any notion of Trump's involvement in any illegal activity.
"The Democrats selectively leaked emails to the liberal media to create a fake narrative to smear President Trump," the statement read.
"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."
