Newly released emails from Jeffrey Epstein’s estate, made public by the House Oversight Committee, reveal Epstein’s recurring focus on Donald Trump, shifting from gossip to blistering assessments during and after Trump’s rise to the presidency. In messages from 2017 to 2019, Epstein called Trump “evil beyond belief” and “dangerous,” while noting their fractured friendship. The White House said the emails prove “absolutely nothing” and pointed to Trump expelling Epstein from Mar-a-Lago, a claim echoed in the messages. Trump urged investigations into others’ ties to Epstein. The House plans to vote on broader file releases next week.
