The latest batch of Jeffrey Epstein documents has sparked a new wave of controversy, with US President Donald Trump's name mentioned in several email exchanges. The Democratic-led House Oversight Committee released the documents earlier this week, which included exchanges between Epstein, his associate Ghislaine Maxwell, and author Michael Wolff. According to the documents, Trump's name came up in the context of a woman who was identified as one of Epstein's sex trafficking victims. The emails suggest that Trump may have known about Epstein's activities, despite his claims to have distanced himself from the financier nearly two decades ago. One email exchange, dated April 2, 2011, appears to reference a meeting between Trump and Epstein at the latter's house. However, the context of the message is unclear. Maxwell, who is serving a 20-year sentence for her role in Epstein's trafficking network, has denied ever witnessing Trump in any inappropriate setting. The latest documents also include a January 2019 email exchange between Epstein and Wolff, in which Epstein disputes Trump's claim that he was expelled from Mar-a-Lago. In the exchange, Epstein appears to suggest that Trump knew about the women involved in Epstein's trafficking network. The controversy has sparked a fallout between Trump and one of his congressional allies, Republican lawmaker Marjorie Taylor Greene. Trump withdrew his endorsement of Greene on Friday, citing her recent criticism of his agenda. The Epstein case has been a source of controversy for Trump, who has dismissed it as a 'hoax' pushed by Democrats. However, the latest documents have raised new questions about Trump's involvement and his relationship with Epstein.
