As stated by CNN

A new disclosure about Epstein’s emails mentioning Donald Trump highlights three key takeaways about what is known regarding his ties to Epstein and Ghislaine Maxwell.

As Congress plans to reopen the government, these documents show that the issue of Trump’s connections with Epstein has not fallen off the agenda. Specifically, on Wednesday, Democratic members of the House Oversight Committee released at least three emails from Epstein’s estate mentioning Trump, against the backdrop of a large batch of documents that experts are reviewing.

Three takeaways from Epstein’s new emails mentioning Trump

1. Information about Trump is considered significant and potentially used as leverage

In 2011 Epstein described Trump as “a dog that hadn’t barked yet,” noting that the person democrats identify as one of Epstein’s victims (the name of which was redacted in the publication) “spent hours at my house with him.”

“a dog that hadn’t barked yet”

– Epstein’s letter (2011)

This excerpt underscores that information about Trump was treated as sensitive and potentially used as leverage in future conversations or pressure.

2. Contact between Trump and Virginia Giuffre and significant details about recruitment

In 2019 Epstein recalled that Trump “knows about the girls,” because he asked Ghislaine Maxwell to stop recruiting staff from Mar-a-Lago. In Epstein’s letter it says: “of course he knew about the girls, since he asked Ghislaine to stop.”

“Of course he knew about the girls, since he asked Ghislaine to stop.”

– Epstein’s letter (2019)

Furthermore, another 2011 entry noted that Giuffre “spent hours at his home with Trump,” adding context to discussions about their potential contact and Giuffre’s role in these discussions.

3. Maxwell’s role, testimony, and the DOJ and White House responses

Maxwell, in testimony, stressed that she had not seen the President at her house, but the new emails indicate that Maxwell may have had knowledge of Trump’s presence at Epstein’s estate, at least as of 2011. In this context, Maxwell’s testimony disclosures and the DOJ investigation draw attention to how ties between figures under investigation and government agencies are examined.

“I don’t think they were close friends, or I certainly never saw the President at his house.”

– Ghislaine Maxwell’s testimony

Now these letters suggest that information about Trump could be meaningful and was viewed as a potential lever in the political context of future investigations.
