WASHINGTON — (BrooklandNews.com) — Nov. 12, 2025 — Democrats on the House Oversight Committee released emails between Jeffrey Epstein and Ghislaine Maxwell about President Donald Trump.
The committee, led by Ranking Member Robert Garcia, said the documents “strike a blow” against what they call a White House effort to cover up Epstein-related files. The emails are part of roughly 23,000 new records that the committee is now reviewing.
In one 2011 email to Ghislaine Maxwell, Epstein referred to Trump as “the dog that hasn’t barked,” claiming a trafficking victim “spent hours at my house with him.”
In another exchange from 2019, Epstein told author Michael Wolff that Trump “knew about the girls as he asked Ghislaine to stop.”
A 2015 email thread between Epstein and Wolff discussed how to handle Trump’s upcoming CNN interview, with Wolff writing, “If he says he hasn’t been on the plane or to the house, that gives you a valuable PR and political currency.”
“The more Donald Trump tries to cover up the Epstein files, the more we uncover,” Garcia said in a statement. “These latest emails raise glaring questions about what else the White House is hiding and the nature of the relationship between Epstein and the President.”
Republican members of the committee dismissed the release as politically motivated, accusing Democrats of “cherry-picking” documents for headlines.
The Oversight Committee is calling on the Department of Justice to release all Epstein-related materials, including flight logs and other internal communications.
The White House has not yet responded to the committee’s claims or the contents of the released emails.
Epstein died by suicide in 2019 while awaiting trial on sex trafficking charges. Maxwell is currently serving a 20-year prison sentence for her role in the operation.
