Trump, who was friends with Epstein for at least 15 years before falling out in 2004, has always denied any knowledge of the criminal. However, Trump’s past association with Epstein continues to tarnish him politically, and in recent months he has found himself in the headlines for his past relationships.
Over the summer, the Trump administration faced backlash after the justice department announced it would not release any additional files related to the Epstein case – an investigation that has long been surrounded by conspiracy theories – despite earlier promises from Trump and US attorney general, Pam Bondi.

During the meeting, Maxwell reportedly acknowledged that Trump and Epstein had a social relationship, but said he never found Trump inappropriate.
Days later, Maxwell was transferred from a Florida prison to a lower-security facility in Texas, where, according to recent reports, she is “much happier” and is reportedly preparing a “commutation application” for the Trump administration to review after the US supreme court declined to hear her appeal.
The release of the emails on Wednesday renewed calls from Democrats to release the entire cache to the public.
“The more Donald Trump tries to cover up the Epstein files, the more we will never know” As Democratic Congressman Robert Garcia, the ranking member of the House Committee on governance. “These latest emails and letters raise questions about what the White House is hiding and the nature of the relationship between Epstein and the President.”
