WASHINGTON, D.C. — House Republicans on the Oversight and Government Reform Committee released more than 20,000 pages of documents from Jeffrey Epstein’s estate on Wednesday, just hours after Democrats on the same committee published emails in which the late financier claimed President Donald Trump “knew about the girls.” The trove includes spreadsheets, correspondence, and book images related to Epstein’s operations and his network of associates.
Committee Chair James Comer (R-Ky.) said on the social platform X that Republicans were releasing the full archive to ensure transparency, adding, “Democrats whine about ‘releasing the files,’ but they only cherry-pick when they have them to generate clickbait. You deserve the full truth.”
Democrats had earlier released several 2010s-era emails referencing Trump’s connection to Epstein and his longtime associate, Ghislaine Maxwell. In one 2011 email, Epstein wrote to Maxwell that Trump was “the dog that hasn’t barked” and had “spent hours at my house” with one of his victims. A 2019 email to author Michael Wolff stated that “of course [Trump] knew about the girls as he asked [Maxwell] to stop.”
The White House pushed back on the documents, with press secretary Karoline Leavitt stating that Trump had expelled Epstein from Mar-a-Lago “decades ago for being a creep to his female employees,” calling the newly surfaced messages “a bad-faith distraction” from the government reopening.
