"In an email sent to Maxwell in April 2011, Epstein wrote, "i want you to realize that that dog that hasn't barked is trump.. [REDACTED VICTIM] spent hours at my house with him ,, he has never once been mentioned. police chief. etc. im 75 % there" Maxwell replied, "I have been thinking about that..." At the time Trump was a reality TV star and businessman, not a politician. As the New York Times reported, around this time "Epstein was emailing staff members about negative press coverage he had recently received about the abuse that took place inside his home in Florida.""
"In a January 2019 email to Wolff, which was partly redacted, Epstein mentioned Mar-a-Lago, then said, "trump said he asked me to resign, never a member ever," adding, "of course he knew about the girls as he asked ghislane to stop." In the months prior to this email Wolff had authored a book about Trump and the Miami Herald had published a series of reports on the lenient 2008 plea deal Epstein struck with federal prosecutors in Florida. In the summer of 2019, Epstein was arrested on federal sex trafficking charges and died in a Manhattan prison weeks later."
"On December 15, 2015, the night of a GOP presidential primary debate, Wolff told Epstein that he'd heard CNN was "planning to ask Trump tonight about his relationship with you - either on air or in scrum afterwards." Epstein replied, "If we were able to craft an answer for him, what do you think it should be?" Wolff suggested Epstein 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 P.R. and political currency" he wrote, saying that"
Jeffrey Epstein communicated in April 2011 that Donald Trump had spent hours at Epstein's house with one of Epstein's victims and that the victim had not been mentioned to authorities. Epstein told Michael Wolff in a January 2019 email that Trump "asked me to resign" and that Trump "knew about the girls" and had asked Ghislaine Maxwell to stop. In December 2015 Wolff advised Epstein on how Trump might be asked about their relationship and suggested allowing Trump to deny involvement for political and PR advantage. Epstein was arrested on federal sex trafficking charges in summer 2019 and died in custody weeks later.
