Jeffrey Epstein on Trump: ‘I know how dirty donald is’ Wed, Nov 12 Dan Mangan
Notorious sex offender Jeffrey Epstein said of President Donald Trump, “I know how dirty donald is,” in a 2018 email thread released by House Democrats about Trump’s former personal lawyer and fixer Michael Cohen pleading guilty to campaign finance violations and agreeing to cooperate in a federal investigation of the president.
The email thread, which CNBC has not independently verified, is among more than 20,000 documents obtained from Epstein’s estate through a subpoena by Democrats on the House oversight committee, which released them.
In a 2019 email, Epstein told author Michael Wolff that his ex-friend Trump “knew about the girls.”
Epstein, in a 2011 email to his now-convicted procurer Ghislaine Maxwell, wrote, “I want you to realize that the dog that hasn’t barked is trump.” Epstein added that a person whose name was redacted in the email but whom the Democrats identified as a victim of his “spent hours at my house with” Trump....
The article detailed Cohen’s guilty plea and its implications for Trump, who was then in his first term in the White House. Cohen had pleaded guilty to crimes related to making and facilitating hush money payments to porn star Stormy Daniels and Playboy model Karen McDougal before the 2016 presidential election.
“I thought you’d find interesting,” Ruemmler wrote to Epstein, who had been friends with Trump for years before they had a falling-out in the early 2000s.
She wrote in the same thread, “It makes no difference whether it was his money. Issue is failure to disclose. Plus, fact that he lied his ass off about it makes it clear that he knew it was illegal.”

She wrote in the same thread, “It makes no difference whether it was his money. Issue is failure to disclose. Plus, fact that he lied his ass off about it makes it clear that he knew it was illegal.”
Epstein replied, “You see, I know how dirty donald is.”
“My guess is that non lawyers ny biz people have no idea. what it means to have your fixer flip,” Epstein added....
In an April 2019 email released by House Democrats, Epstein wrote to author Michael Wolff that Trump “knew about the girls,” according to a copy of that message purportedly between the two men.
It is unclear what the phrase “knew about the girls” meant.
In another newly released email that Epstein wrote to his now-convicted accomplice Ghislaine Maxwell in April 2011, Epstein wrote, “I want you to realize that the dog that hasn’t barked is trump.”
Epstein added in that same email that a person whose name was redacted in the email but whom the Democrats identified as a victim of his “spent hours at my house with” Trump....
In an email exchange in December 2015, when Trump was seeking the Republican nomination for the White House, Wolff wrote to Epstein, “I hear CNN planning to ask Trump tonight about his relationship with you — either on air or in scrum afterwards.”
Epstein replied, “if we were able to craft an answer for him, what do you think it should be?”
Wolff answered: “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,” Wolff added. “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.”
Trump has denied that he knew about Epstein’s sexual abuse of underage girls and women. The president has never been charged with wrongdoing in connection with Epstein.
The release came two days after Democrats on the House Judiciary Committee issued a statement saying, “Whistleblower information provided to the Committee also indicates that Ghislaine Maxwell is working on filing a ‘Commutation Application’ with the Trump Administration.”
Maxwell is serving a 20-year prison sentence for crimes related to procuring underage girls to be abused by Epstein.....
Scores of women have said Epstein sexually abused them when they were underage girls or young women.
Democrats on the House oversight committee said the emails that they obtained raise “serious questions” about Trump’s involvement with Epstein.
The three emails related to Trump are among thousands written by Epstein and obtained by the Democrats.
“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 Rep. Robert Garcia, a California Democrat who is the ranking member of the House oversight committee.
“The Department of Justice must fully release the Epstein files to the public immediately,” Garcia said. “The Oversight Committee will continue pushing for answers and will not stop until we get justice for the victims.”
Trump and the DOJ have been criticized for months for reneging on promises by Trump administration officials to release criminal investigative files about Epstein. Trump said in July that he threw Epstein out of his Mar-a-Lago club in Florida and cut ties with him years ago because “he stole people who worked for me.”.... https://www.cnbc.com/2025/11/12/trump-jeffrey-epstein-ghislaine-maxwell-emails-house-democrats.html
Thousands of new Epstein documents released, with some emails mentioning Trump Thomas Mackintosh
We've spent the last few hours combing through a batch of more than 20,000 pages of documents, images and emails released by the House Oversight Committee relating to the convicted paedophile Jeffrey Epstein.
Three emails - initially published by Democrats on the committee - featured exchanges between Epstein and his long-time associate Ghislaine Maxwell, and separately with the author Michael Wolff.
One of the emails - from Epstein to Maxwell in April 2011 - reads: "I want you to realize that that dog that hasn't barked is trump.. [Victim] spent hours at my house with him".
Although the contents contain Trump's name, none of the emails are to or from Trump directly - and he has always denied wrongdoing.
The White House came out in defence of the US president, and accused Democrats of "selectively leaking emails to the liberal media to create a fake narrative to smear President Trump" .... https://www.bbc.com/news/live/c2dr3z9egljt
