In a surprising statement, White House press secretary Karoline Leavitt has claimed that President Trump's name being mentioned in Jeffrey Epstein's emails as the "dog that hasn't barked" proves his innocence. The comment sparked debate among lawmakers and observers alike.
Leavitt stated that the fact that Epstein referred to Trump in this manner implies that Trump had taken action against him, thus proving he did nothing wrong. However, critics argue that the email does not necessarily suggest any direct involvement or wrongdoing by Trump, but rather a missed opportunity for action.
Epstein's emails, which were revealed last week, appear to show that he was seeking help from Trump and other officials in an attempt to avoid prosecution. While some have interpreted this as evidence of Trump's involvement in covering up Epstein's crimes, others see it as a case of missed opportunities.
It remains to be seen how Leavitt's statement will impact public perception of the matter. The White House has maintained that Trump had no knowledge of Epstein's activities and did not receive any emails from him. However, the situation continues to unfold, with many questions still unanswered about the extent of Trump's involvement.
