Release of Epstein Emails

• 📧 House Democrats released new emails from the Epstein estate, appearing to show Jeffrey Epstein believed President Trump knew more about his conduct than acknowledged.
• 💡 Three emails were made public, suggesting President Trump was aware of Epstein having young girls around him before Epstein's conviction.
• 🗣️ One email from 2019 states, "Of course, Trump knew about the girls as he asked Galain to stop."

White House Response and Criticism

• 📢 Press Secretary Caroline Levit emphasized that the emails prove nothing other than Trump's innocence.
• ❓ The White House questioned why Democrats chose to redact the name of a victim who had publicly spoken about her relationship with Epstein and is deceased.

Redacted Victim and Email Interpretation
