Is Trump named in Epstein's emails?
Asked 2 hours ago
Answer
Donald Trump is named in Epstein's emails. Multiple emails reference Trump, including a 2011 message alleging he spent hours with one of Epstein's victims and a 2019 email stating Trump "knew about the girls as he asked Ghislaine to stop." However, there is no direct evidence of wrongdoing by Trump, and some victims have publicly stated Trump was always professional. The context and meaning of some references remain unclear.

One 2019 email shows Epstein telling journalist Michael Wolff that Trump 'knew about the girls as he asked Ghislaine to stop,' while a 2011 email to Ghislaine Maxwell refers to Trump as 'the dog that hasn't barked' and mentions Virginia Giuffre spending hours at Epstein's house with Trump.
Levin states the emails prove nothing against President Trump, reiterates Trump did nothing wrong, and notes both Trump and Epstein were from Palm Beach; Epstein was a Mar-a-Lago member until Trump expelled him for being a 'pedophile and a creep.'
A 2011 email between Epstein and Ghislaine Maxwell includes Epstein stating, 'the dog that hasn't barked is Trump,' and referencing a redacted victim who spent hours at Epstein's house with Trump but was never mentioned.
