More than 20,000 pages of documents related to convicted sex offender Jeffrey Epstein have been made public, reigniting scrutiny of his connections to powerful figures. The release includes emails that Democratic politicians claim show Donald Trump may have known more about Epstein's crimes than he has admitted.
Three emails obtained from Epstein's estate were highlighted by Democrats, suggesting Trump was aware of Epstein's activities. In one, Epstein reportedly referred to Trump as a 'maniac' and stated that Trump 'knew about the girls'.
Trump's team countered that the files were cherrypicked, and Republican representatives responded by releasing a larger cache of documents. The full trove of 20,000 pages is now available for public review, though the specific revelations remain under analysis.
The documents are part of ongoing efforts to uncover the extent of Epstein's network and the knowledge of those around him. Epstein died in 2019 while awaiting trial on federal sex trafficking charges.
