Epstein Files: New Emails Reveal Shocking Details of Donald Trump Connections

Liputan6.com, Jakarta On November 12, 2025, the United States House of Representatives Committee on Oversight and Government Reform released thousands of pages of documents related to Jeffrey Epstein.

This release included approximately 20,000 additional pages from Epstein's estate, significantly increasing the volume of information previously made public.

This latest release drew significant attention because it included emails that explicitly named US President Donald Trump.

Democrats on the Oversight Committee who released the documents hoped to provide further transparency into Epstein's network.

This information renewed public scrutiny of Trump's past ties to Epstein and Ghislaine Maxwell, a close associate of Epstein.

The release of these documents came amidst a series of previous releases throughout 2025, which gradually revealed more details about Jeffrey Epstein's activities.

The US House Oversight Committee released 20,000 additional pages of documents from Jeffrey Epstein's estate in mid-November 2025.

Democrats on the Oversight Committee specifically highlighted emails mentioning Donald Trump among the 23,000 newly released documents.

Another newly released email exchange is between Epstein and author Michael Wolff, who has written four books chronicling Trump's presidency. Wolff said he spoke extensively with Epstein about Trump during his reporting for the books.

"I hear CNN planning to ask Trump tonight about his relationship with you--either on air or in scrum afterwards," Wolff wrote to Epstein in December 2015, six months after Trump had officially entered the race for the White House.

"If we were to craft an answer for him, what do you think it should be?" Epstein replied.

"I think you should let him hang himself," Wolff replied the next day.

"If he says he hasn't been on the plane or to the house, then that gives you a valuable PR and political currency. You can hang him in a way that potentially generates a positive benefit for you, or, if it really looks like he could win, you could save him, generating a debt. Of course, it is possible that, when asked, he'll say Jeffrey is a great guy and has gotten a raw deal and is a victim of political correctness, which is to be outlawed in a Trump regime."

Several emails in the newly released Epstein Files specifically reference Donald Trump, providing insight into Epstein's interactions with or views of him.

One 2011 email to Ghislaine Maxwell shows Epstein calling Trump a "dog that hasn't barked yet" and claiming a victim "spent hours at my house with him."

Maxwell responded by saying she had thought about it.

In 2019, Epstein also emailed Wolff claiming that "of course [Trump] knew about the girls because he asked Ghislaine to stop."

While this email doesn't provide further details about what Trump asked to stop, the claim is significant.

In an email to himself in February 2019, Epstein wrote that "Trump knew about it and came to my house many times during that period," but added, "He never got a massage."

The release of the Epstein files immediately drew a response from the Trump camp.

White House Press Secretary Karoline Leavitt denied the release of the emails, accusing Democrats of "selectively leaking emails to the liberal media to create a false narrative to smear President Trump."

Donald Trump himself did not remain silent.

Via the platform Truth Social, he called it "another Jeffrey Epstein Hoax," claiming it was an attempt to distract from other issues facing Democrats.

This reaction reflects a consistent pattern from the Trump camp in responding to allegations related to Epstein, consistently denying any involvement or knowledge of Epstein's crimes.

In September 2025, the House Oversight Committee released more than 33,000 pages of Epstein-related documents provided by the U.S. Department of Justice.

Much of this information, while already publicly available, continues to enrich the public archive.

In February 2025, Attorney General Pamela Bondi, working with the FBI, declassified and released the "first phase" of the Epstein files.

This material largely contained documents previously leaked but never officially released by the U.S. government, including flight logs and evidence lists.

Furthermore, Epstein's estate released a redacted version of Epstein's birthday book, which included a picture and birthday greeting apparently signed by Trump.

However, Trump has repeatedly denied creating the picture or signing the greeting.

In July 2025, a Justice Department memo stated that no client list was mentioned, that Jeffrey Epstein had committed suicide, and that no further disclosure of the contents of the Epstein files would be made public.
