The House Oversight Committee, despite vehement denials from the White House, has made thousands of files—including emails—obtained from the Epstein estate available to the public.
On the morning of Wednesday, November 12, 2025, the Oversight Committee leaked three emails ahead of an upcoming House vote to end the government shutdown. These emails, involving late financier and sex trafficker Jeffrey Epstein, his confidante Ghislaine Maxwell, and author Michael Wolff, suggest that “Of course [Donald Trump] knew about the girls,” and that “the only dog that hasn’t barked is Trump,” as “[VICTIM] spent hours at my house with him.”
A third email, from 2015, between Epstein and Wolff, discussed “crafting an answer” for Trump, who was preparing for an upcoming CNN interview during his first run for office. In response to Epstein’s concern, Wolff advised: “If he says he hasn’t been on the plane or to the house, then that gives you a valuable PR and political currency. You can hang him in a way that potentially benefits you, or, if it looks like he could win, you can save him, creating a debt.” He added that such issues might not matter under a “Trump regime,” since political correctness would supposedly be “outlawed.”
Hours later, the Committee released a set of 20,000 documents linked to these emails, now available on the official government website. These files include monthly financial statements for Epstein’s top 100 Palm Beach clients, including Donald Trump, scans from a book containing pictures Epstein took of the late Virginia Giuffre as a minor, and additional emails related to Trump’s first presidential campaign and his subsequent administration.
One email states: “You see, I know how dirty Donald is.”
Amid the chaos of the file releases, White House Press Secretary Karoline Leavitt held a press conference to address their content and what they imply about Donald Trump.
“Donald Trump did nothing wrong,” Leavitt told reporters. When asked whether the administration would release all the files for full transparency, she responded: “This administration has done more with respect to transparency regarding Jeffrey Epstein than any administration, ever. In fact, the Department of Justice has turned over tens of thousands of documents to the American people.”
She emphasized, “This is truly a manufactured hoax by the Democrat Party.”
The House is set to vote on the full release of the Epstein files next week.
