What we know about new Epstein emails that mention Trump

November 13, 2025

US lawmakers have released over 20,000 pages of documents from Jeffrey Epstein's estate, sparking partisan conflict as Democrats initially published select emails mentioning President Trump, prompting Republicans to release a much larger document cache accusing Democrats of cherry-picking evidence. The correspondence includes exchanges between Epstein and Ghislaine Maxwell discussing Trump's lack of public association with a victim, communications with author Michael Wolff about Trump's presidential campaign, and Epstein's claims that Trump knew about underage girls at Mar-a-Lago. The documents also reference Prince Andrew and former UK ambassador Lord Peter Mandelson, both previously linked to the disgraced financier.

Who is affected

President Donald Trump (mentioned in multiple emails)
Virginia Giuffre (deceased Epstein accuser whose name appears in documents)
Prince Andrew/Andrew Mountbatten-Windsor (referenced regarding allegations)
Lord Peter Mandelson (shown in correspondence with Epstein)
Ghislaine Maxwell (currently serving 20-year prison sentence for sex trafficking)
Annie Farmer and approximately one thousand women and girls (Epstein survivors/victims)
Author Michael Wolff (corresponded with Epstein about Trump)
House Democrats and Republicans (political parties involved in document release)

What action is being taken

House Democrats are publishing email exchanges from Epstein's estate
House Republicans are releasing a massive tranche of documents to counter Democratic efforts
The White House Press Secretary is issuing statements responding to the email releases
Representative Robert Garcia is explaining redaction decisions regarding victim names
Author Michael Wolff is posting video responses on Instagram discussing the emails
Annie Farmer is sharing statements demanding full transparency

Why it matters

This release is significant because it provides documentary evidence of relationships between a convicted sex offender and powerful political figures, including a sitting US president. The documents reveal previously unknown details about communications regarding Trump's connections to Epstein during critical periods, including presidential campaigns and while in office. The partisan nature of the release highlights how Epstein-related information continues to be politically weaponized. For survivors, the disclosure represents incomplete accountability, as they estimate approximately one thousand victims were harmed and demand complete transparency rather than selective releases that may serve political purposes.

What's next

Annie Farmer and survivors are demanding the "full release" of all Epstein files and complete transparency regarding the estimated one thousand women and girls who were harmed by Epstein and his associates.
