‘I know how dirty Donald is,’ Epstein said of Trump in email

Emails show relationship between Donald Trump and millionaire accused of sexual abuse Billionaire Jeffrey Epstein wrote that he knew “how dirty” President Donald Trump is in an email sent in 2018. The file was revealed this Wednesday (12) and is part of documents from the investigation into the sexual abuser. ✅ Follow g1’s international news channel on WhatsApp ▶️ Context: The United States Congress published emails that suggest that Trump was aware of Epstein’s conduct and that the current president once “spent hours” at his home with one of the victims. Jeffrey Epstein was an American businessman known for his wide network of contacts with politicians, celebrities and executives. He was accused of abusing more than 250 underage girls and operating a sexual exploitation ring. Epstein was arrested in July 2019 and, according to US authorities, he took his own life a month later, inside his cell. The email in which Epstein calls Trump “dirty” was sent on August 23, 2018 and is part of an exchange of messages with lawyer Kathryn Ruemmler, former White House counselor during the Barack Obama administration. At the time, Trump was already president and was accused of accounting fraud in the 2016 campaign. According to investigations, he hid payments to porn actress Stormy Daniels to buy her silence about an affair the two had in 2006. In the email exchange, Ruemmler sent Epstein an opinion article from The New York Times, in which columnist Bret Stephens stated that Trump had committed “serious crimes and misdemeanors” that would justify the opening of an impeachment. The article provided details of the confession of Michael Cohen, Trump’s former lawyer and advisor, who pleaded guilty and served as the main witness in the case. Epstein responded to the email a few minutes later: “I think he supports the idea that it was his money, Trump’s, which would make it not illegal. Although he also said he only found out later, right? And the fact is that, according to the indictment, this was registered as ‘services rendered’ and with an increased value. I’m sure his accountant must have already collaborated with the investigation, anyway. I spoke in detail with Starr yesterday about the accusations, about how Trump can make a deal (with the prosecutor special).The Clinton trash, yes, Starr told me more. 👉 Starr is possibly a reference to Kenneth Starr, a prosecutor who investigated sexual relations between intern Monica Lewinsky and former president Bill Clinton in the 1990s. He also served on Epstein’s team of lawyers. Ruemmler responded: “It makes no difference whether the money was his. The issue is the lack of transparency. Furthermore, the fact that he blatantly lied about it makes it clear that he knew it was illegal.” Epstein counters: “See, I know how dirty Donald is. I think New York business people who aren’t lawyers have no idea what it means when his ‘fixer’ [Cohen] decide to speak.” Exchange of emails between Epstein and Kathy Ruemmler Reproduction Trump dodges On a social network, Trump stated that the controversy involving Jeffrey Epstein’s emails is a “trap” created by Democrats. According to him, the opposition’s objective is to divert attention from the federal government shutdown. “Democrats are trying to resurrect the Jeffrey Epstein hoax because they would do anything to distract from how badly they did in the shutdown and on so many other issues,” he wrote. “Only a really bad or stupid Republican would fall into that trap,” he said. “There should be no distractions with Epstein or anything else.” President Donald Trump Allison Robbert/AFP White House spokeswoman Karoline Leavitt said the president “did nothing wrong” and accused Democrats of releasing the emails “to smear Trump.” She also questioned the fact that the documents were published on the same day that the Chamber would vote to end the strike and said that the opposition was using the case to attack the government and create a false narrative.

In one of the emails revealed by congressmen, from January 2019, the billionaire wrote that Trump “knew about the girls”. In the same text, there is the name of a censored victim and “Mar-a-Lago”, which is the president’s resort in Florida. In another message, sent in April 2018, Epstein wrote about Trump to Ghislaine Maxwell — his assistant and confidant, later convicted of facilitating the crimes. “I want you to realize that the dog that didn’t bark is Trump,” he said. He then added that one of the victims “spent hours at my house with him… and he was never mentioned once.” In another email released this Wednesday, Epstein reflected on how he should respond to questions from the press about his relationship with Trump, who at the time was beginning to gain prominence as a national political figure. E-mail in which Jeffrey Epstein talks about Trump’s alleged knowledge of the businessman’s conduct Disclosure/Democratic Party Pressure The case reignited pressure on the Trump administration to release all documents related to Epstein. During the campaign, the president even promised to disclose an alleged “list” of clients of the child sexual exploitation scheme. Pressure increased after the Justice Department published part of the case documents in February, without new revelations. Since then, the president has started to deny the existence of this list, minimize the case and even call anyone who still cared about the subject “idiots” — despite the fact that he himself had fed conspiracy theories on the subject for years. According to the American press, Trump was warned in May by the Department of Justice that his name appeared in Epstein’s documents. The American president emphatically denies any involvement in or knowledge of Epstein’s sex trafficking network. He claims that the two were friends in the past, but broke off their relationship many years ago.
