GOP lawmakers have released a trove of new emails from pedophile Jeffrey Epstein, including the financier claiming to have compromising photos of ‘dirty’ Donald Trump.
The House Oversight Committee, which includes Trump loyalist and Florida Representative Anna Paulina Luna, published 23,000 pages of documents from the estate of the deceased pedophile on Wednesday after the Democrats released a selective batch of emails earlier in the day.
Republican and Democratic members of the committee are investigating Epstein independent of Trump’s Department of Justice.
In a December 2015 exchange, Epstein told New York Times journalist Thomas Landon Jr that he had photos of Trump with bikini-clad girls in bikinis in his kitchen.
‘Would you like photos of Donald and girls in bikinis in my kitchen?’ Epstein asked the journalist in an email.
In a follow-up exchange with the reporter, Epstein claimed Trump almost walked through a glass door because he was distracted by young women.
‘Have them ask my houseman about Donald almost walking through the door leaving his nose print on the glass as young women were swimming in the pool,’ Epstein wrote to Landon in December 2015.
‘He was so focused he walked straight into the door.’

In another email chain, Epstein was discussing Trump’s 2016 hush money case with Obama White House Counsel Kathy Ruemmler in August 2018 – a decade after the financier was convicted of pedophilia, and a year before his alleged suicide.
Ruemmler and Epstein discussed how Trump’s attorney, Michael Cohen, turned on the President over payments to Stormy Daniels before the 2016 election. Trump was later found guilty in May 2024 of falsifying business records.
Ruemmler wrote: ‘It makes no difference whether it was [Trump’s] money. Issue is failure to disclose. Plus, fact that he has lied his ass off about it makes 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.’
In another email exchange, an unknown individual tells Epstein that they are waiting outside because they didn’t ‘want to come early to find Trump in your house.’
Prior to the Republicans releasing these emails, Democrats on the House Oversight Committee published other communications between Epstein and his former madam Ghislaine Maxwell, as well as author Michael Wolff, discussing Trump.
The Democrats redacted the victim’s name, including in a 2011 email Epstein sent Maxwell which claimed the girl ‘spent hours at my house with’ Trump.
The individual referenced in these emails is the late Virginia Giuffre, who repeatedly said President Trump was not involved in any wrongdoing whatsoever and ‘couldn’t have been friendlier’ to her in their limited interactions.

Press Secretary Karoline Leavitt called the email dump a politically motivated ‘smear’ campaign and repeated Giuffre’s former statements about Trump in which she absolved him of any wrongdoing.
Giuffre, who committed suicide earlier this year, was recruited by Maxwell while employed as a spa attendant at the Mar-a-Lago Club in 2000. She was 16 years old.
Trump expelled Epstein from his club around October 2007 ‘for being a creep to his female employees, including Giuffre,’ Leavitt said.
In an email dated April 2, 2011, Epstein wrote to Maxwell: ‘i want you to realize that that dog that hasn’t barked is trump.. virignia [sic] spent hours at my house with him, he has never once been mentioned. police chief. etc. im 75% there.’
The context of Epstein’s email exchanges are not clear. The communications were released after Democrats subpoenaed Epstein’s estate earlier this year.
Trump did not send or receive any of the emails, and he has not been charged with any crime in relation to Epstein or Maxwell.
