“Trump says he wants me to quit” to a membership card at Mar-a-Lago, the American presidential residence in Florida, said Jeffrey Epstein, who explained that he had never been a member 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.

Conspiracy theory

In another 2011 email, published in X by an influential Democratic member of a House committee, Jeffrey Epstein claimed that Donald Trump “spent a few hours” with the financier’s victims in the latter’s house. This email, obtained through Jeffrey Epstein’s heirs, ‘raises serious questions about Donald Trump and what he knew about Epstein’s horrific crimes’said the elected Democrat.

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.

A letter with an obscene tone

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 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 House rules, a vote in the chamber on a text 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.
