Trump Amongst Others In Latest Epstein Email Leak

By Andrés Guzmán

Recently, discussions about Jeffrey Epstein, a convicted sex trafficker, have resurfaced. One of the many people mentioned in these discussions is President Donald Trump, who repeatedly denies knowing about Epstein’s island and also denies having anything to do with him. 

One of the main reasons Trump is being questioned about Epstein is their previous friendly relationship, although Trump claims they had a falling out. Although the Epstein files still haven't been fully released publicly despite being approved by Trump and Congress, some of Epstein’s emails have been leaked. 

Epstein referred to Trump as the “Dog that hasn’t barked” in a 2001 email to Ghislain Maxwell. This email indicated the idea that Trump knew about Epstein’s sex trafficking, but didn’t report it to authorities. Epstein also claimed that Virginia Giuffre, a victim, spent many hours at Epstein’s house while Trump was there, but Trump had never been mentioned as engaging in contact with her. Epstein was surprised that Trump’s name had never been connected with victims. The White House and Republican sources suggest that there was nothing for him to be accused of. Giuffre claimed that she did meet Trump, but she never witnessed any inappropriate conduct by him. 

While Trump himself has denied being part of Epstein’s sex-trafficking ring, he often claims Bill Clinton was at the island multiple times. While Bill Clinton has been named in the Epstein Files multiple times, it is unknown if he was involved in the sex-trafficking ring. 

Recently, a viral email between Jeffrey Epstein and his brother Mark talking about “Trump blowing Bubba” has surfaced, with many people believing Bubba was Bill Clinton. However, Mark Epstein recently stated that Bubba is “a private individual who is not a political figure,” denying the idea that Bubba was Bill Clinton. 

This does not, however, deny Trump’s affiliation with Epstein. Mark said that it was just a joke between brothers that was misinterpreted and blown out of proportion for political speculation.  Epstein often criticized Trump harshly after their falling out, calling him “borderline insane” and having “not one decent cell in his body.” 

Epstein also claimed that Trump had knowledge of the girls, as he claimed Trump “asked Ghislain Maxwell to stop recruiting them from his Mar-A-Lago club.” Trump denies any wrongdoing or knowledge of this, claiming that these emails are simply a hoax or political smear. 

While people like Virginia Giuffre deny Trump participating in any abuse, she doesn’t deny Trump being present at Epstein's house, which makes the idea of Trump’s involvement or knowledge simply being a hoax harder to prove.
