Jeffrey Epstein emails: Donald Trump, Bill Clinton, Prince Andrew and more

Emails released by the House Oversight Committee on Wednesday show Jeffrey Epstein sounding off on Donald Trump, Bill Clinton and more.

The late sex offender was highly critical of Trump and said he “knew about the girls,” but didn’t directly accuse him of any wrongdoing. The emails also show Epstein saying Clinton had “never” been to his private island, despite Trump’s claims to the contrary.

Trump and Clinton have both denied any wrongdoing and have never been charged with any criminal activity. Epstein did not accuse Trump of any wrongdoing with "the girls."

“These emails prove absolutely nothing other than the fact that President Trump did nothing wrong,” White House press secretary Karoline Leavitt told reporters.

Here are some highlights from the 20,000 pages of emails and documents that were released.

In an email to writer Michael Wolff, who interviewed Epstein numerous times for a book he was working on about Trump, Epstein denied Trump’s account of having stripped him of his membership at Trump’s Mar-a-Lago club for “being a creep.”

“Trump said he asked me to resign, never a member ever,” Epstein wrote.

“Of course he knew about the girls as he asked ghislaine to stop,” the email continued, referring to his former girlfriend and accomplice Ghislaine Maxwell, who recruited at least one of Epstein’s victims, Virginia Giuffre, at the club.

In another email that was sent to Wolff, Epstein said a woman whose name was redacted “worked at Mara Lago. Trump knew of it, and came to my house many times during that period. The testimony of the houseman John Alessi confirmed it. He never got a massage.”

In an email sent to Maxwell in 2011, Epstein said Trump “spent hours” with someone the committee says was a victim. Maxwell is a convicted sex trafficker currently serving a 20-year prison sentence on charges that included conspiring to sex-traffic minors in connection with Epstein.

“I want you to realize that that dog that hasn’t barked is trump.. [Victim] spent hours at my house with him ,, he has never once been mentioned,” Epstein wrote.

“I have been thinking about that...” Maxwell replied.

The White House and Republicans on the House Oversight Committee said Wednesday that Giuffre’s name was the one redacted in those emails. Giuffre, who died by suicide this year, did not accuse Trump of any wrongdoing.

Epstein repeatedly ripped Trump’s business practices in the emails and called him “dirty.”

After attorney and former Obama White House counsel Kathy Ruemmler sent Epstein a link to a New York Times op-ed that referenced former Trump fixer Michael Cohen, Epstein responded, “you see, I know how dirty donald is. My guess is that non lawyers ny biz people have no idea. What it means to have your fixer flip.”

In another email, Epstein accused Trump of using financial shenanigans to outbid him on a property.

“He has no money when he buys the house,” he wrote in a February 2019 email to Wolff.

“His biz model is putting his name on a real estate development and gets a fee for using his name. The hotel biz is just that,” Epstein wrote.

“Trump put his name on it, and get a 2% fee and maybe a piece of the profit if any on sale. He touts the project as ‘his’… just as in his current financial statements on file as president he lists his ‘income’ as the GROSS receipts of the clubs, with no expenses, not his personal revenue ie the doral golf club loses money every year. It pays out more than it takes in, but he lists the revenue as his income. AMAZING.”

In a February 2017 exchange with Epstein, Ruemmler called Trump “so gross.”

“Worse in real life and upclose,” Epstein responded.

In a separate 2017 exchange with an unidentified person, Epstein said of Trump, “your world does not understand how dumb he really is. he will blame everyone around him. for bad results.”

Mark Epstein, the late financier’s brother, asked him in a 2018 email, “what is your boy Donald up to now?”

Epstein responded that he was “with Bannon now,” apparently a reference to former White House adviser Steve Bannon. Mark Epstein suggested his brother ask if Russian President Vladimir Putin had compromising pictures of Trump and Clinton together.

“You and your boy Donnie could do a remake of the movie Get Hard,” Mark Epstein offered, referencing the comedy with Kevin Hart and Will Ferrell where Hart’s character tries to prepare Ferrell’s for prison. “You mean Donni T,” Epstein responded.

Mark Epstein confirmed to NBC News that the email attributed to him was accurate. He declined comment on the broader release because he had not seen all of the emails.

In different email exchanges, Epstein denied claims that Clinton had been to his private island, where some of Epstein’s abuse occurred.

In a 2015 email exchange with now-former New York Times reporter Landon Thomas Jr., Epstein referred to claims about Clinton’s presence on the island by a victim whose name has been redacted as having been made up, including “specifically minute details of a dinner had on the island with him.”

“Clinton was NEVER EVER there, never,” Epstein wrote.

In a January 2015 email to Wolff, Epstein said he had a former girlfriend who could corroborate that Clinton was never there — and could also refute claims that former Israeli Prime Minister Ehud Barak had been on the island.

Also included in the documents are email exchanges between Epstein and a person identified as “The Duke.” The person appears to be Andrew Mountbatten Windsor, who was recently stripped of his titles of prince and Duke of York over his association with Epstein.

One of the allegations against the former prince was that he had sex with Giuffre when she was underage, a claim he’s denied.

In 2011, Epstein forwarded an email to “the Duke” that had been sent on to him about a story the Mail on Sunday had been working on, with Giuffre coming forward with her claims about the prince.

“What? I don’t know any of this. How are you responding?” Epstein said he’d just gotten the request for comment and asked “g lawyers to send a letter.” “Im not sure how to respond, the only person she didn’t have sex with was Elvis,” Epstein said of Giuffre.

“The Duke” then replies, “Please make sure that every statement or legal letter states clearly that I am NOT involved and that I knew and know NOTHING about any of these allegations. I can’t take any more of this my end.”

“The Duke” then reached out to Maxwell, who forwarded Epstein the email he sent her. “Hey there! What’s all this? I don’t know anything about this! You must SAY so please. This has NOTHING to do with me. I can’t take any more of this,” he wrote.

Epstein also told Thomas, the former Times reporter, in a 2015 email that the claims about Clinton having been on the island should show that Giuffre’s account about Andrew is “delusional.”

Thomas told him one issue is the prince was “keeping the story alive.”

“I think the big issue is separating yourself from Andrew,” Thomas wrote. “I mean, in the end, he had consensual sex with (redacted) . And (redacted) worked for you. The rest is atmospherics. You have moved on! People don’t know that and can’t accept that unless you say as much.”

In a different email to a publicist in 2011, Epstein said, “The girl who accused Prince Andrew can also easily be proven to be a liar. I think Buckingham Palace would love it. You should task someone to investigate the girl Virginia Roberts,” Giuffre’s maiden name.

Immunologist Boris Nikolić told Epstein in one email, “Met your friend bill clinton yesterday” and “meeting your friend prince andrew as he has some questions re microsoft.”

Epstein told Nikolić, who used to work for Microsoft co-founder Bill Gates, “you can tell andrew we are friends.”

Nikolić told Epstein, “I do not need anything from him.”

“[Y]es you do, you need to laugh and have fun, he is good at that,” Epstein responded. “Hes great fun.”

Nikolić’s company did not immediately respond to a request for comment.
