On November 12, 2025, the House Oversight and Government Reform Committee, led by Democrats, released a trove of documents and emails obtained from Jeffrey Epstein’s estate. Among them are messages suggesting that Donald Trump—who knew Epstein socially in the 1990s and early 2000s—was aware of Epstein’s alleged abuse of underage girls.
Key revelations include:
A 2011 email from Epstein to Ghislaine Maxwell stating that Trump “spent hours at my house” with a trafficking victim.
A 2019 email to author Michael Wolff in which Epstein wrote, “Of course he knew about the girls as he asked Ghislaine to stop.”
Epstein referred to Trump as the “dog that hasn’t barked,” implying Trump’s silence despite alleged knowledge of the abuse The Straits Times ABC News Politico.
The documents were released as part of the committee’s ongoing investigation into Epstein’s network, the Department of Justice’s handling of the case, and potential cover-ups. Democrats have also subpoenaed the DOJ for additional records, citing limited cooperation.
The White House has not commented on the release. Trump has previously denied any wrongdoing, stating he severed ties with Epstein long before the financier’s 2019 arrest.
This development may intensify political and legal scrutiny, especially as Trump continues his presidency amid ongoing investigations and lawsuits.
