House Oversight Committee Releases Jeffrey Epstein Email Correspondence, Raising Questions About White House Coverup of Epstein Files
This Tranche of Correspondence Raises Questions About Trump and Epstein’s Relationship, Trump’s Knowledge of Epstein’s Crimes and Relationship to Victims
Washington, D.C. — Today, Oversight Democrats and Ranking Member Robert Garcia released never-before-seen emails from the latest production from Jeffrey Epstein’s Estate, striking a blow against the White House’s Epstein cover-up. In private correspondence with Ghislaine Maxwell, Jeffrey Epstein wrote in 2011 that Donald Trump, “spent hours at my house” with a victim of sex trafficking, referring to Trump as “dog that hasn’t barked.” In a separate email with author Michael Wolff in 2019, Epstein stated explicitly that Donald Trump, “knew about the girls as he asked ghislaine to stop.” In another email with Wolff in 2015, Epstein and Wolff discuss if they can “craft an answer” for Trump’s upcoming CNN interview, with Wolff characterizing Epstein’s leverage over Donald Trump, saying, “If he says he hasn’t been on the plane or to the house, then that gives you a valuable PR and political currency.” The Epstein Estate released a total of 23,000 documents that the Oversight Committee is currently reviewing.
“The more Donald Trump tries to cover up the Epstein files, the more we uncover. These latest emails and correspondence raise glaring questions about what else the White House is hiding and the nature of the relationship between Epstein and the President,” said Ranking Member Robert Garcia. “The Department of Justice must fully release the Epstein files to the public immediately. The Oversight Committee will continue pushing for answers and will not stop until we get justice for the victims.”
The three emails from the production can be found below and here.

Email #3
Email #3 is direct correspondence between Jeffrey Epstein and Michael Wolff.
The correspondence reads:
To: Jeffrey Epstein
From: Michael Wolff
“I hear CNN planning to ask Trump tonight about his relationship with you--either on air or in scrum afterwards.
To: Michael Wolff
From: Jeffrey Epstein
“if we were able to craft an answer for him, what do you think it should be?”
To: Jeffrey Epstein
From: Michael Wolff
“I think you should let him hang himself. If he says he hasn't been on the plane or to the house, then that gives you a valuable PR and political currency. You can hang him in a way that potentially generates a positive benefit for you, or, if it really looks like he could win, you could save him, generating a debt. Of course, it is possible that, when asked, he'll say Jeffrey is a great guy and has gotten a raw deal and is a victim of political correctness, which is to be outlawed in a Trump regime.”
