Disturbing emails Jeffrey Epstein allegedly sent about Trump revealed
US House Democrats have released new damning Jeffrey Epstein emails, in which the disgraced sex offender alleged Donald Trump knew about his 'conduct'.
Multi-millionaire Epstein had mingled with some of the most powerful people in the world - including business mogul and reality TV star Donald Trump.
But Epstein was eventually exposed for sex trafficking underage girls, something Trump has repeatedly denied having any knowledge on.
Epstein dodged jail time back in 2008 with a controversial plea deal, only to be arrested again in July 2019 on fresh federal charges.

Just days later, he was found dead while on 'suicide watch' in his Manhattan jail cell. Epstein's death was later ruled a suicide by officials.
While Trump and Epstein formerly appeared friendly, the pair's relationship apparently soured in the early 2000s after the financier began poaching his staff, according to Trump.
"He took people that work for me, and I told him, 'Don’t do it any more'. And he did it. I said, 'Stay the hell out of here'," the POTUS previously told reporters.
But these fresh e-mails - dating between 2011 and 2019 - could shed new light on the situation.
In one email from April 2011, Epstein told his former partner and convicted accomplice Ghislaine Maxwell: "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', as per the New York Times.
Maxwell responded: "I have been thinking about that."
A 2015 exchange between Epstein and author Michael Wolff allegedly saw Wolff warn him that CNN might be asking Trump about the pair's relationship, 'either on air or in scrum afterwards'.
Epstein responded: "If we were able 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."
He continued: "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."
Finally, a third e-mail from Epstein to Wolff sent in January 2019 sees the late sex offender claim Trump 'knew about the girls'.
"[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," Epstein wrote.
The e-mails were part of the latest documentation to be passed on to the Oversight Committee, along with files about Epstein's estate. They were requested as part of the Committee's investigation into Epstein and Maxwell, the New York Times adds.
Maxwell was found guilty of child sex trafficking and other offences in connection with Epstein in 2021.
She was sentenced to 20 years imprisonment in the US.
"These latest emails and correspondence raise glaring questions about what else the White House is hiding and the nature of the relationship between Epstein and the president," California Democrat Robert Garcia said in a statement.
White House Press Secretary Karoline Leavitt told UNILAD: "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."
