House Democrats released new emails from Jeffrey Epstein, including one suggesting Donald Trump was aware of the financier's crimes. However, claims that the White House said Epstein was referring to a different Donald Trump are entirely false and originated from a satirical website. In reality, White House Press Secretary Karoline Leavitt stated that the emails were selectively leaked by Democrats to create a narrative to smear President Trump. She emphasized that Trump had kicked Epstein out of his club years ago for his behavior towards female employees. President Trump has denied any knowledge of the emails, stating he knew nothing about Epstein's alleged crimes, despite a 2019 email from Epstein stating Trump was aware of the abuse.
