President Trump's ties to convicted sex offender Jeffrey Epstein have taken a new turn, with newly released emails suggesting that Trump "knew about the girls" who were allegedly trafficked by Epstein. The revelation comes in a set of emails exchanged between Epstein and author Michael Wolff in 2019.
According to one email, Epstein told Maxwell to stop Ghislaine Maxwell from visiting him with a particular victim, stating that "Of course he knew about the girls as he asked ghislaine to stop." The exchange raises questions about whether Trump was aware of Epstein's illicit activities.
Trump has long maintained that he severed ties with Epstein in the early 2000s, and has denied any wrongdoing. However, Democrats are pushing for more transparency on Epstein's files, including a request from Rep. Robert Garcia of California for the Justice Department to make all relevant documents public "immediately."
The emails have sparked renewed scrutiny of Trump's relationship with Epstein, who was a socialite and philanthropist before his arrest in 2019 on federal sex trafficking charges. Trump and Epstein were friends for many years, but the two had a falling out around 2004.
Meanwhile, Ghislaine Maxwell has already been convicted of conspiring in Epstein's sex trafficking ring and is serving a 20-year prison sentence. The latest revelations have raised more questions about what else the White House might be hiding related to its relationship with Epstein.
In response to the news, White House press secretary Karoline Leavitt accused Democrats of selectively leaking emails to create a "fake narrative" against Trump. However, lawmakers say that they are seeking answers and justice for the victims of Epstein's sex trafficking ring, which is why they continue to push for more transparency on the matter.

. These new emails are super suspicious - if Trump knew about the girls being trafficked by Epstein, that's a huge red flag 
. I'm not buying the whole "he severed ties in 2002" thing from Trump... it sounds like he's trying to cover his tracks 
. And the fact that Democrats want transparency on these files is totally fair - we need to know what went down and hold people accountable 
. The whole situation feels so murky, but one thing's for sure: justice needs to be served for those who were harmed by Epstein's actions 
.
... like, Trump has been denying any knowledge about Epstein's sex trafficking ring for years, but now it seems like he might've actually known more than we thought 
. these emails are really sketchy and it's not cool that White House press secretary Karoline Leavitt is trying to spin this as a "fake narrative" 
. my question is, what else has the White House been hiding about their relationship with Epstein? there's gotta be more to this story than just these leaked emails 
Trump has been saying he didn't know anything about Epstein's crimes, but now it seems like he might've known way more than he let on 
and it sounds like he might have known more than he lets on... but at the same time, you gotta wonder if there's some kind of cover-up going on 
... and those democrats are right to want answers, justice for the victims is a must 
and meanwhile ghislaine maxwell has already been convicted and is serving time for her role in epstein's ring, so why are they still pushing for transparency?
