Jeffrey Epstein: Trump ‘asked Ghislaine Maxwell to stop’ recruiting girls from Mar-a-Lago spa
The release is likely to increase pressure on the Justice Department to make public all its files in connection with the notorious case.
Convicted pedophile Jeffrey Epstein acknowledged in a bitter email months before his death that Donald Trump told Epstein accomplice Ghislaine Maxwell to stop plucking young girls from the spa at Trump’s Mar-a-Lago resort to groom and sexually abuse.
In the email, written by Epstein to discredited author Michael Wolff on Jan. 31, 2019 — fewer than six months before Epstein’s arrest on federal sex trafficking charges — and released by Democrats on the House Oversight Committee Wednesday, the disgraced financier responded to Trump’s claim to have booted Epstein from the club.
“[T][bless and do not curse][bless and do not curse][bless and do not curse][bless and do not curse] said he asked me to resign,” Epstein told Wolff. “[I was] never a member ever.”
“[O]f course he knew about the girls as he asked [G]hislaine to stop.”
Nearly eight years earlier, on April 2, 2011, Epstein described Trump in an email to Maxwell, who is serving a 20-year prison sentence for sex trafficking conspiracy and other charges, as “that dog that hasn’t barked,” adding that an unnamed victim “spent hours at my house with him [and] he has never once been mentioned.”
“The Democrats selectively leaked emails to the liberal media to create a fake narrative to smear President Trump,” White House press secretary Karoline Leavitt told The Post in a statement. “The ‘unnamed victim’ referenced in these emails is the late Virginia Giuffre, who repeatedly said President Trump was not involved in any wrongdoing whatsoever and ‘couldn’t have been friendlier’ to her in their limited interactions.
