House Oversight Democrats released emails from Jeffrey Epstein's estate showing the convicted sex trafficker claimed Trump 'knew about the girls' and that a victim 'spent hours' at Epstein's house with Trump. The 2011-2019 correspondence includes exchanges between Epstein, Ghislaine Maxwell, and author Michael Wolff discussing potential political leverage over Trump. Republicans dismissed the revelations as selective leaks, while the White House called it a 'hoax' to smear Trump who has denied wrongdoing.
