Trump Responds โคto Appearance โฃin Newly Released Epstein emails by Demanding โDOJ โขInvestigation of โฃClinton,Summers,Hoffman
WASHINGTON – Former โPresident Donald Trump responded to his depiction โin aโฃ fresh batch of Jeffrey Epstein’s โemails by calling for aโข department โof Justice investigation โinto a range of โprominent Democrats,including Hillary โClinton,formerโ Treasury Secretaryโ Larry Summers,and LinkedIn co-founder Reid Hoffman. The newly unsealed court documents โคreveal Epstein’sโข frequently critical and frequently enough antagonistic assessments of Trump, contradicting theโข former president’s โprevious statements about their โขrelationship.
The releasedโฃ files, which Trump โฃcharacterized as โฃpart of a Democratic “Epstein โขHoax” intended to โdistract from other issues, show Epstein โrepeatedly discussing Trump with โlawyers, acquaintances, reporters, academics, and political figures. โขIn a 2017 exchange, Epstein dismissed Trump asโ “dumb,” stating, “your world does not understand how dumb he really is. โhe will โฃblame everyone around him.” โคA year later, heโข described Trump โas “evil beyond belief, madโฆ nuts!!!”
The emails also challenge Trump’s claim that he expelled Epstein from mar-a-Lago for inappropriate behavior. In โฃa 2019 message to author Michael Wolff,Epstein wrote,”Trump said he asked me to resign,never a member ever.” He further claimed aโ woman who worked at the club had been involved withโข himโ and that “Trump knew of it, and came to my house many times during that period,” assertions the White House has denied.
One particularly striking line fromโค a 2011 note โฃto โGhislaine Maxwellโ reads,”thatโข dog โฃthat hasn’t barked is โtrump.. [Victim] โ spent hours atโ my house with โฃhimโฃ ,, he has never once been mentioned.” The White House, during a press conference, referenced theโค testimonyโค of Virginia Giuffre, an Epstein accuser โwho โdied โearlierโ this year, stating Trump didโข not participate “inโฃ anything.”
Epstein โคalso alluded to possessing leverage over Trump, writing in aโ December 2018 exchange, “yes thx.โ its wild. because i โขam the โฃone able to โtake him down.”
In response to the โฃrelease, Trump has called for scrutiny of others mentioned in the โdocuments.โฃ He specifically demanded โthe DOJ investigate Clinton, โSummers, โคand Hoffman, though the nature of โคtheirโ connectionsโ to Epstein as revealedโ in the files remains unclear.
JPMorgan Chase,which previously โขmanaged epstein’sโค accounts,stated it would not have kept himโ as aโ client had itโ knownโ of hisโ crimes. โขJPMorganโค did not instantly โrespond to a request for comment โขregarding Trump’s call for further โinvestigation. โขThe White house also did not immediately respond toโ a request for comment.
