Before his death in prison, Jeffrey Epstein sent an email containing explosive allegations about Donald Trump

Epstein’s Email Raises New Questions
Jeffrey Epstein’s connection to Donald Trump resurfaced after the release of a 2019 email sent months before Epstein’s death. In the message, Epstein responded to Trump’s comments about their past relationship, especially regarding events at Mar-a-Lago.

Trump’s Awareness of Abuse
Epstein claimed that Trump was aware of the misconduct taking place at his resort. He stated that Trump personally stopped Ghislaine Maxwell from recruiting girls at Mar-a-Lago’s spa. The email, revealed by Democrats on the House Oversight Committee, provides fresh details about Trump’s knowledge of Epstein’s activities.

Content of the Email
Sent to author Michael Wolff on January 31, 2019, the email quoted Epstein writing, “Of course he knew about the girls as he asked Ghislaine to stop.” This revelation contradicts Trump’s earlier denials and may increase pressure on the Justice Department to release more Epstein-related documents.

Trump’s Denials
Trump has consistently rejected any involvement with Epstein’s crimes. During a July 2025 press conference, he accused Epstein of “stealing people that worked for me,” claiming he had told Epstein, “We don’t want you taking our people.”

Conflicting Accounts
Epstein’s email, however, implies Trump knew about the recruitment and took action to halt it. This version contrasts with Trump’s public statements, sparking debate about the extent of his awareness.

Past Ties and Disputes
Trump and Epstein were close in the 1990s until a falling-out over a Palm Beach property. Despite their split, Epstein and Maxwell continued to correspond about Trump.

Ongoing Scrutiny
With more documents emerging, investigators continue to examine Epstein’s powerful connections. Experts believe these new disclosures could deepen scrutiny of Trump and reignite calls for full transparency.
