Did Trump lie about Epstein?
Asked 2 hours ago
Answer
Emails released by House Democrats suggest Trump may have known about Epstein's association with young girls before Epstein's conviction, contradicting Trump's public denials. However, the White House and Trump maintain he did nothing wrong and ended his friendship with Epstein long ago. No direct evidence of Trump lying is confirmed, but the emails raise questions about the accuracy of his statements regarding Epstein.
