In a series of revelations that continue to unfold, a 2019 correspondence from Jeffrey Epstein to author Michael Wolff has surfaced, wherein Epstein claimed that former President Donald Trump “knew about the girls.” The context of this phrase remains ambiguous, leaving much to interpretation.
Further emails, now made public by Republican sources, reveal additional insights into Epstein’s relationship with Trump. In these messages, Epstein mentioned that Trump had visited his residence “many times,” but notably, Trump “never got a massage,” a detail that seems to counter some of the more salacious speculations surrounding their association.
The backdrop of these disclosures is the harrowing saga of Ghislaine Maxwell, Epstein’s close associate. Maxwell was sentenced in 2022 to 20 years in prison for crimes related to sex trafficking. Her sentence followed the death of Epstein, who died by suicide in a New York jail in 2019 while awaiting his trial on similar charges.
To many, the image of Epstein and Trump together at Trump’s Florida estate in 1997, captured by Davidoff Studios Photography and distributed by Getty, serves as a haunting reminder of the connections and controversies that have since come to light.
Epstein’s hostility toward Trump

Other emails show Epstein branding Trump as “evil beyond belief”, “mad”, and a “maniac” showing signs of “early dementia”.
“These emails prove absolutely nothing other than the fact that President Trump did nothing wrong,” White House press secretary Karoline Leavitt said.
Andrew, formerly known as Prince, re-enters the picture
In a March 2011 message — four months after Andrew said he had cut ties — he wrote to Epstein and Maxwell about an upcoming story from the Daily Mail: “I don’t know anything about this! You must SAY so please. This has NOTHING to do with me. I can’t take any more of this.”
But Epstein — who allegedly took the photo — wrote: “Yes she was on my plane, and yes she had her picture taken with Andrew as many of my employees have.”
Republicans release 20,000 documents
In one exchange, Epstein refers to a 20-year-old girlfriend that he “gave to Donald” in 1993, and talks about photos of “donald and girls in bikinis in my kitchen,” though it is not clear whether he is joking.

Trump has vehemently and consistently denied knowing about Epstein’s sex trafficking. He has said that he and Epstein were once friends before having a falling out.
House to vote on release of files
Reporting from Axios and others suggests Trump and senior officials have pressured Republicans Lauren Boebert and Nancy Mace to withdraw their support, which would stop the vote from happening.
