American sex offender Jeffrey Epstein claims that Donald Trump “know about women” in a 2019 email attributed to a New York financier who died in prison that same year, and made public on Wednesday November 12 by Democratic lawmakers.
“Trump says he wants me to quit” to the membership card of Mar-a-Lago, the American presidential residence in Florida, confirmed Jeffrey Epstein, in an email sent to journalist and author Michael Wolff, published in New York Times and CNN was the first to report. He explained that he had never been a member of Mar-a-Lago and added: “Of course he knew about the girls, like he asked Ghislaine to stop. »
Ghislaine Maxwell, an accomplice and former associate of Jeffrey Epstein, is currently serving a twenty year prison sentence for sexual exploitation. The New York financier was found dead in 2019 in his cell in what authorities said was an apparent suicide, before being tried for sex crimes.
Donald Trump spoke out and accused the Democratic Party. In his message on Truth Social, he said harsh words: “Democrats are trying to revive the Jeffrey Epstein hoax because they will do anything to divert attention from the mistakes they made in the government shutdown. (…). Only very bad and stupid Republicans would fall into this trap.”he added, while a vote in Congress may be coming soon to force the government to release documents it has on Jeffrey Epstein, whom Donald Trump once visited.
“Democrats selectively leaked emails to left-wing media to fabricate false narratives to smear President Trump”American executive spokeswoman Karoline Leavitt reacted in a press release, a copy of which was obtained by Agence France-Presse. “The fact is that President Trump fired Jeffrey Epstein from his club decades ago because he behaved badly toward his female employees.”wrote MI Leavitt.
Conspiracy theory
In another 2011 email, published in X by an influential Democratic member of the House Oversight Committee, Jeffrey Epstein allegedly wrote to Ghislaine Maxwell that Donald Trump “spent a few hours” with the financier’s victims in the latter’s house.
In her statement, Karoline Leavitt identified this victim as Virginia Giuffre, who took her own life in April at the age of 41 and whose posthumous memoir recounts the assault she endured while she was under the control of Jeffrey Epstein. Virginia Giuffre “repeatedly said that President Trump had done nothing wrong and that he was ‘very friendly’ in the limited interactions they had”underlined the spokesperson. The White House also released a long list of articles it said showed that Michael Wolff was unreliable and that his work was “full of errors and approximations”.
This email, obtained through Jeffrey Epstein’s heirs, ‘raises serious questions about Donald Trump and what he knew about Epstein’s horrific crimes’elected Democratic Party members said behind their publication. The commission of which they are members is investigating the way the state conducted its investigation and prosecution of Jeffrey Epstein.
Their Republican counterparts condemned the publication of the emails, accusing the opposition of wanting it “generate clicks” with arbitrarily selected documents. At the same time, they announced to publish it “20,000 pages of additional documents” received from Jeffrey Epstein’s inheritance.
The case has been inflamed in the United States since Donald Trump’s administration announced in early July that it had not found any new elements that would justify releasing additional documents in the case.
Jeffrey Epstein’s death by suicide has sparked countless conspiracy theories that he was murdered to prevent him from implicating important figures.
After promising his supporters during his presidential campaign to reveal shocking revelations, Donald Trump is now trying to put an end to the controversy, which he has repeatedly described as ” joke “ installed by the Democratic opposition.
A letter with an obscene tone
A figure, like Jeffrey Epstein, of the New York jet set of the 1990s-2000s, Donald Trump was close to the financier until the mid-2000s. A letter attributed to the Republican billionaire calling attention to Jeffrey Epstein on his birthday in 2003 was made public in early September by the same Democratic lawmaker.
The letter, with its salacious undertones, shows a sketch of a statue of a woman with statements attributed to Jeffrey Epstein and Donald Trump. The signature of the American presidential candidate appears at the foot of the letter, replacing the genitals of the woman depicted. The White House denied that Donald Trump was the perpetrator.
In Congress, the Epstein affair is expected to experience further developments in the future. Democrat Adelita Grijalva will be sworn in Wednesday in the House of Representatives and must therefore provide the final signatures required for petitions from elected officials. This would force, under chamber rules, a vote in the chamber on texts aimed at forcing the Trump administration to make public the files it has on Jeffrey Epstein.
Republican House Speaker Mike Johnson opposed the petition, saying it was useless considering an investigation already underway by one of the committees. But with 218 signatures, including four from Republican elected officials, he can no longer oppose holding a vote. This explains, according to the Democratic minority leader, Hakeem Jeffries, his opposition to the previous swearing-in of Adelita Grijalva, whose election was due to take place at the end of September. “Republicans run a pedophile protection program, they deliberately hid Jeffrey Epstein documents”he said at a press conference, Tuesday.
