Jeffrey Epstein, the disgraced financier and accused sex trafficker, wrote that President Donald Trump "spent hours at my house" with one of his victims, according to emails House Democrats released Nov. 12.
The White House called the release of emails a "smear." Trump attended parties and flew on Epstein’s plane during the 1990s. But Trump later ousted Epstein from his club and forcefully denied knowing about the sex trafficking. Epstein died by suicide in prison in 2019 while awaiting trial.
The Democratic revelations came as the House prepares to swear in a new lawmaker from Arizona, Democrat Adelita Grijalva. She is expected to provide the final signature needed to force a vote on legislation that would release all Department of Justice records about the Epstein investigation.
Rep. Robert Garcia of California, the top Democrat on the Oversight committee, called the emails "serious and disturbing."
"We won’t stop until we end this White House cover-up," Garcia said on social media Nov. 12. "Release the files, NOW."
