How Epstein boasted about Trump ‘I am the one able to take him down’ and called him the ‘dog who hasn’t barked ‘after revealing he spent ‘hours’ with victim

In messages published by American lawmakers, Jeffrey Epstein claimed that President Donald Trump spent “hours” with a sexual abuse victim and said, “I am the one who can defeat him.”

Thousands of pages of material from Epstein’s estate have been made public, revealing how the disgraced financier repeatedly mentioned Trump in private correspondence from 2011 to 2019.

The content covers the years before and during Trump’s presidency and includes allegations, speculation, and personal revelations that Epstein shared with associates, journalists, and accomplice Ghislaine Maxwell.

The files were published in two parts; House Democrats first released a series of emails containing Epstein’s comments about Trump.

Hours after that, Republicans responded, claiming there were nearly 20,000 additional pages.

Both sets of documents were released through the House Oversight Committee in Washington, a powerful watchdog body in Congress that scrutinizes government behavior.

Following the announcement, House Speaker Mike Johnson said he would allow a vote next week that could force Trump’s Justice Department to release all documents in the infamous ‘Epstein Files’.

What does Epstein’s email with Ghislaine Maxwell say?

One of the first published emails was sent to Maxwell in 2011. In it, Epstein wrote: ‘I want you to understand that that dog that doesn’t bark is Trump.

‘[VICTIM] ‘I spent hours with him in my house and he was never mentioned.’ He added that ’75 percent of it is there.’ Maxwell replied: ‘I was thinking about that…’

One email described Trump as a ‘dog that doesn’t bark’

In another conversation with Maxwell, Trump said that “he’s the only one who can take him down,” referring to Trump.

The name corrected in this exchange was later shown to be Virginia in the wider documentation, a reference to Virginia Giuffre.

She died earlier this year and was one of Epstein’s leading accusers. He said he worked at Trump’s Mar-a-Lago Club in Florida when he was younger, but has consistently stated that he has never seen or experienced anything wrong with Trump.

Giuffre repeated this view in a 2016 deposition and in a memoir published this year.

In another cable sent in 2018, while Trump was in office and facing intense scrutiny from political opponents, Epstein wrote: ‘They are really just trying to bring down Trump and are doing everything they can to do it!’

‘He then added: ‘It’s so crazy because I’m the one who can beat him.’

In February 2019, Epstein told another person that he was aware of what was going on at Trump’s home, saying: ‘Trump knew about it. and he came to my house many times during that period. ‘He’s never had a massage.’

He also wrote: ‘Donald is not close to anyone. He speaks to many people. ‘He says something to everyone.’

Epstein’s emails with Michael Wolff about Trump

A separate message sent to author Michael Wolff that year contained another claim; Epstein said: ‘Of course he knew about the girls when he told Ghislaine to stop.’

Epstein corresponded extensively with Wolff over several years.

Wolff, who recorded long conversations with Epstein for book projects about Trump and American politics in the 2010s, frequently asked Epstein questions about the former president’s rise.

Wolff warned Epstein in a 2015 email that CNN planned to question Trump about their relationship during the Republican primary debate. Epstein asked: ‘If we could formulate an answer for him, what do you think it would be?’

Wolff said Epstein should have let Trump handle this without help, writing: ‘I think you should let him hang himself.

‘If he says he’s not on the plane or going home, that will save you some valuable PR and political money.

‘You can potentially hang it for a positive benefit for you, or you can bail it out and create debt if it looks like it could actually win.’

Epstein’s messages with author Michael Wolff were also published

He added: ‘Of course, if asked, it’s possible for Jeffrey to say that he’s a great guy, that he’s been wronged and that he’s the victim of political correctness, which would be illegal in the Trump regime.’

The newly released documents include a 2016 conversation in which Wolff offered Epstein the opportunity to speak openly about Trump in the final days of the presidential race and said the interview could “finish” him. Epstein refused.

Democrats also released a 2019 email in which Epstein wrote to Wolff: “Trump said he asked me to resign,” referring to Trump’s social club in Florida, and then added: “I was never a member.”

He then repeated his claim that ‘of course he knew about the girls when he told Ghislaine to stop’.

Responding to the Democrats’ statement, Committee Republicans said the initial selection of emails was chosen to promote what they called a misleading narrative about Trump.

They released a much larger trove of files, including many posts in which Epstein criticized Trump, reflected on his political rise or shared gossip with reporters.

These included a message sent to New York Times reporter Thomas Landon Jr. in 2015, in which Epstein asked: ‘Would you like pictures of Donald and the girls in bikinis in my kitchen?’

In another he wrote: ‘They should ask my maid that Donald left a nose print on the glass as he almost walked through the door while the young women were swimming in the pool. He was so focused that he walked straight towards the door.’

Epstein’s emails about Bill Clinton

Other emails released by the House Oversight Committee also shed new light on Epstein’s contacts with Kathryn Ruemmler, a former White House adviser under Barack Obama and one of the executors of his legacy.

Cables included in material released by Democrats show Epstein discussing his past relationships with Bill Clinton and at one stage claiming to have cut off contact with the former president.

Epstein said in an email that he stopped talking to Clinton

In an exchange about a person referred to as ‘McGyver’, seen elsewhere in his messages, Epstein joked that Clinton’s ‘memory is a friend killer’ before claiming she had misled him.

She wrote: ‘I stopped talking to Clinton when she swore to me that she had done something with wholehearted belief, forgetting that she had also sworn to me the exact opposite just weeks before.’

The documents also include a 2018 email in which theoretical physicist Lawrence Krauss asks Epstein to help convene what he calls the ‘Men of the Earth Conference’ and lists Clinton, Kevin Spacey, Woody Allen and Senator Al Franken as suggested participants.

The message highlights the lengthy scrutiny surrounding Epstein’s connections to prominent political figures and celebrities.

Epstein’s relationship with Clinton has been the subject of repeated public debate, most recently after Clinton’s birthday wish to Epstein was revealed in previous statements.

Following the latest announcement, a Clinton spokesman told the New York Post: ‘Who knows what they’re talking about. What we know and have always said is that President Clinton knew nothing about Epstein’s heinous crimes and had not spoken to him in two decades. Now it’s black and white here.’

Clinton has repeatedly said she was unaware of Epstein’s criminal activities.

Andrew’s email to Epstein

Another document released by the committee refers to Andrew Mountbatten-Windsor, formerly Prince Andrew, and shows his reaction to allegations made to him via Epstein and Ghislaine Maxwell in early 2011.

The material includes an email that Maxwell forwarded to Epstein, requesting comment from the Mail on Sunday.

The newspaper had contacted her on March 4 with a list of allegations regarding Maxwell, Epstein and the then-Duke of York.

Released documents show that Epstein relayed the message to Andrew, prompting a swift and forceful response.

He wrote: ‘Hello! What is all this? I don’t know anything about this! You should say so please. This has nothing to do with me. ‘I can’t take this anymore.’

A woman, whose name has been redacted, is said to have claimed that she was introduced to Andrew by Epstein at Maxwell’s London estate in 2001, where he had sex with her, according to a right-of-reply email.

Committee documents confirm that the Mail on Sunday story was published two days later on March 6, 2011, and featured the now widely distributed photograph of Andrew with Virginia Giuffre.

Andrew has always denied any wrongdoing and has never been charged with any crime.

Following the release of the documents, the White House said Democrats were selectively releasing information to negative media outlets to create a false narrative.

Press Secretary Karoline Leavitt pointed out that Trump removed Epstein from Mar-a-Lago years ago and said that the former president did so because Epstein was ‘creepy’ towards female employees.

The White House press secretary released a statement saying Democrats were selectively releasing information to negative media outlets to spread a false narrative.

Virginia Guiffre, at the center appearing outside a Manhattan courthouse, was the redacted victim’s name at the center of the emails.

He reiterated that Giuffre has never accused Trump of any harassment and has even said she “couldn’t have been friendlier” on the rare occasions they encountered each other.

The release of the documents has reignited calls for full transparency among Epstein’s victims.

Annie Farmer, a key witness in the Maxwell case, released a statement to the public saying: ‘The more information comes to light about Jeffrey Epstein, the more questions we are left with. ‘Survivors deserve more than a drop of information.’

He demanded the release of the full cache of Epstein-related materials, arguing that ‘the estimated thousand women and girls harmed by Epstein and his associates deserve full transparency’.

On Wednesday, Speaker Johnson told reporters that he would finally allow a vote on releasing the files, ending a major divide on the issue.

Speaking on Capitol Hill, he said: ‘We will table this for a full vote when we come back next week.’
