Damning new emails that suggest Donald Trump knew about the conduct of the late sex offender Jeffrey Epstein were released Wednesday, including one in which Epstein said “of course [Trump] knew about the girls” that were procured for his sex-trafficking ring.

The release of the three messages by Democrats on the House oversight committee is likely to add significant pressure on the White House to release the so-called Epstein files.

OP transcribed:

To GMax, from Epstein:

i want you to realize that that dog that hasn't barked is trump...(VICTIM) spent hours at my house with him,, he has never once been mentioned. police chief. etc. im 75% there

To Michael Wolff from Epstein:

(VICTIM) mara lago. (REDACTED) . trump said he asked me to resign, never a member ever. . of course he knew about the girls as he asked ghislaine to stop

Exchange between Epstein and Michael Wolff:

Michael Wolff says:

I think you should let him hang himself. 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 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.

Epstein says:

if we were able to craft an answer for him, what do you think it should be?

Michael Wollf says:

I hear CNN planning to ask Trump tonight about his relationship with you --either on air or in scrum afterwards.
