White House Press Secretary Karoline Leavitt is responding after Democrats on the House Oversight Committee released more than twenty-three thousand pages of emails connected to Jeffrey Epstein. The files mention Donald Trump’s name several times in conversations between Epstein, Ghislaine Maxwell, and author Michael Wolff. None of the emails were sent or received by Trump, but they have still sparked major controversy online. According to CNN, which first reported on the release, Epstein claimed in one 2019 email that Trump knew about his behavior and once asked Ghislaine to stop. The White House is now calling this entire situation “a fake narrative” designed to smear the former president, pointing out that Trump banned Epstein from Mar-a-Lago decades ago for being inappropriate with female employees. Leavitt told TMZ, “These stories are nothing more than bad-faith efforts to distract from President Trump’s historic accomplishments.” The House is also back in session today to vote on a new budget, while Rep. Adelita Grijalva is expected to add the final signature demanding the Department of Justice release the full Epstein Files. This release has reignited public debate around the Epstein case, his ties to powerful figures, and the government’s handling of related documents. Supporters of Trump say his name being mentioned doesn’t prove any connection, while critics argue it raises more questions about who knew what and when.
