Trump Further Entangled in Epstein scandal.
By Favour Nwankwo
President of The United State of America Donald Trump is again facing tough questions after newly released emails from Jeffrey Epstein’s estate mentioned him several times.
The messages, made public on Wednesday by the House Oversight Committee, have fueled new debate about Trump’s past ties to the late financier and raised suspicions over why the White House is resisting calls to release all Epstein-related files.
The emails, which span from 2011 to 2018, showed Epstein and his associate Ghislaine Maxwell discussing Trump and his behavior. Although there is still no proof of any criminal wrongdoing by Trump, the messages have drawn fresh attention to his earlier friendship with Epstein and how much he may have known about the disgraced financier’s activities before his death in 2019.
According to committee members, the new evidence came from material obtained through Epstein’s estate and includes at least three emails that mention Trump directly. In one of them, Epstein wrote to Maxwell, “that dog that hasn’t barked is Trump,” suggesting that Trump had somehow avoided being drawn into public scrutiny at the time. Maxwell replied, “I have been thinking about that.”
The White House responded sharply to the revelations, insisting that Trump had done nothing wrong. “These emails prove absolutely nothing,” Press Secretary Karoline Leavitt said. “President Trump has always maintained his innocence and continues to focus on serving the American people.” However, critics say his continued refusal to release the full Epstein files only deepens public suspicion.
Sources confirmed that top officials, including Attorney General Pam Bondi and FBI Director Kash Patel, held a private meeting in the White House Situation Room with Rep. Lauren Boebert after the email release. The meeting, intended to calm political tension, sparked more controversy, with some lawmakers accusing the administration of trying to influence a pending petition that calls for the public release of all Epstein investigation documents.
Ghislaine Maxwell, who is serving a 20-year sentence for aiding Epstein’s crimes, told investigators earlier this year that she “never saw the president act inappropriately” and described him as “a gentleman in all respects.” Still, other leaked emails painted a less flattering picture, with Epstein reportedly calling Trump “borderline insane” and saying, “I know how dirty Donald is,” in messages sent to former U.S. officials and journalists in 2018.
Political observers say the latest disclosures have deepened the scandal’s impact, both in Washington and abroad, where other high-profile figures like Prince Andrew have also faced fallout over their Epstein ties. As one lawmaker put it, “If there’s nothing to hide, the files should be made public. The longer this stays secret, the worse it looks for everyone involved.”
