Donald Trump has responded to the reports that he was named in various emails by the late Jeffrey Epstein, dating from 2011 to 2019.
Earlier this week, it was revealed that the president was named by Epstein in correspondence between him and Ghislaine Maxwell, who is currently serving 20 years behind bars for sex trafficking.
One email to Maxwell read: "I want you to realize that that dog that hasn’t barked is Trump."
He added that an unnamed victim 'spent hours at my house with him, he has never once been mentioned'.

Other emails released regarding Epstein saw the disgraced financier question if Trump had early dementia, and labelled him as 'f*cking crazy'.
Trump has finally responded to the alleged emails naming him and doubled down on his claims that there's an 'Epstein hoax' that the Democrats conspired against him.
Taking to Truth Social on November 14, the POTUS angrily penned: "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."
Trump's ramblings continued: "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!"
The president echoed similar sentiments earlier this week when he accused the Democrats of costing the US '$1.5 Trillion Dollars'.
"The Democrats are trying to bring up the Jeffrey Epstein Hoax again because they’ll do anything at all to deflect on how badly they’ve done on the Shutdown, and so many other subjects," he said, adding. "Only a very bad, or stupid, Republican would fall into that trap."
Trump continued: "The Democrats cost our Country $1.5 Trillion Dollars with their recent antics of viciously closing our Country, while at the same time putting many at risk — and they should pay a fair price."
He went on to say (again) that the Epstein emails were a 'deflection' and that any Republicans involved in the so-called conspiracy 'should be focused only on opening up our Country, and fixing the massive damage caused by the Democrats'.
