A cache of 20,000 pages of documents released by a congressional committee has reignited the controversy surrounding Donald Trump's ties to convicted sex trafficker Jeffrey Epstein. The emails, released on Wednesday, suggest that Trump may have had knowledge of Epstein's activities, despite his claims of no involvement. The documents, which include emails between Epstein and his associates, appear to implicate Trump in a plot to cover up Epstein's sex trafficking ring. One email, sent to Ghislaine Maxwell, a convicted accomplice of Epstein, reads: 'I want you to realize that that dog that hasn't barked is trump.' Another email, sent to author Michael Wolff, suggests that Trump had knowledge of Epstein's victims and had asked Maxwell to stop her involvement. The release of the documents comes as the House is set to vote on legislation to re-open the government after a 43-day shutdown. Lawmakers expect to pursue the Epstein issue once the funding fight is resolved. Key Democrats have pledged to force a vote on releasing the full Epstein files, which could shed more light on Trump's involvement. Trump has repeatedly denied any wrongdoing, claiming that he cut ties with Epstein nearly two decades ago. However, several Republicans have expressed concerns about the president's relationship with Epstein, including Representatives Thomas Massie, Lauren Boebert, Marjorie Taylor Greene, and Nancy Mace. The controversy has strained relationships within the Republican party, with some members calling for more transparency on the issue. Trump's base is also divided, with some calling for the release of the full Epstein files. The Justice Department has released some information related to Epstein, but Democrats argue that it is not enough. 'These latest emails and correspondence raise glaring questions about what else the White House is hiding and the nature of the relationship between Epstein and the President,' said Representative Robert Garcia. 'The Department of Justice must fully release the Epstein files to the public immediately.' The case has long drawn interest from many Trump allies and has sparked conspiracy theories about the late convicted sex offender's associates and death. As the controversy continues to unfold, one thing is clear: the public demands answers about Trump's involvement with Epstein.
