Furious White House reveals Jeffrey Epstein victim who 'spent hours' with Trump - and always said he never did anything wrong

House Democrats pulled a bait-and-switch on a new trove of Jeffrey
Epstein documents Wednesday when they released just three select emails
in which the pedophile financier mentioned President Trump, including
one claiming, “Victim 1 spent many hours at my house with him.” 

But the Dems on the House Oversight Committee deliberately withheld the
name of the victim in the missive — Virginia Giuffre, who said before
her death earlier this year that she witnessed no wrongdoing by Trump
during their interactions. 

Media outlets jumped on the limited document release anyway — led by the
New York Times and CNN, which appeared to have gotten a sneak peek at
the messages. 

House Republicans and the Trump White House quickly fired back. 

“The Democrats selectively leaked emails to the liberal media to create
a fake narrative to smear President Trump,” White House press secretary
Karoline Leavitt told The Post in a statement. 

 “The ‘unnamed victim’ referenced in these emails is the late Virginia
 Giuffre, who repeatedly said President Trump was not involved in any
 wrongdoing whatsoever and ‘couldn’t have been friendlier’ to her in
 their limited interactions. 

 “These stories are nothing more than bad-faith efforts to distract from
 President Trump’s historic accomplishments, and any American with
 common sense sees right through this hoax and clear distraction from
 the government opening back up again.” 

Among the 21 Dems on the House Oversight committee are Ranking Member
Robert Garcia (D-Calif.), Vice Ranking Member Jasmine Crockett
(D-Texas), and Ro Khanna (D-Calif.). 

Republicans on the Oversight Committee released the full trove of 20,000
documents. 

They also included a slew of correspondence about former President Bill
Clinton and emails between Epstein and journalist Michael Wolff. 

Giuffre, who went public with her accusations against Epstein in 2011,
had worked as a spa attendant at Mar-a-Lago, where her father was a
maintenance manager. 

At some point in 2000, Giuffre, then 16, met Epstein accomplice Ghislane
Maxwell, who offered her a job working for Epstein as a traveling
masseuse. In her posthumous memoir, “Nobody’s Girl,” Giuffre described
being introduced to Trump by her father shortly before Maxwell and
Epstein entered her life. 

“Trump couldn’t have been friendlier,” Giuffre wrote, “telling me it was
fantastic that I was there.” 

Far from implicating Trump in any illegal activity, Giuffre recounted
that he helped her make some extra money as a baby-sitter for wealthy
families who rented out homes the real estate mogul owned on the Palm
Beach property. 

In another email, written by Epstein to Wolff on Jan. 31, 2019 — less
than six months before Epstein’s arrest on federal sex trafficking
charges — the sex criminal admitted that Trump told Maxwell to stop
plucking young girls from the spa at Mar-a-Lago to groom and abuse. 

“[T]rump said he asked me to resign,” Epstein told the discredited
author. “[I was] never a member ever.” 

“[O]f course he knew about the girls as he asked [G]hislaine to stop.”

Trump has insisted that renewed interest in the Epstein case is a “hoax”
driven by Democrats to harm him politically after the Justice Department
and FBI concluded over the summer that the 66-year-old financier
committed suicide and did not keep a “client list” of wealthy and
powerful allies to whom he trafficked girls as young as 14 — contrary to
widespread public speculation. 

On July 29, Trump told reporters that Epstein “stole people that worked
for me” in a rare public explanation of how the former Wall Street titan
became persona non grata at Mar-a-Lago. 

“Everyone knows the people that were taken, and it was the concept of,
taking people that work for me is bad,” the president said at the time.
“But that story has been pretty well out there, and the answer is yes,
they were.” 

“I have a great spa, one of the best spas in the world, at Mar-a-Lago.
And people were taken out of the spa, hired by him,” Trump recounted.
“When I heard about it, I told him, I said, ‘Listen, we don’t want you
taking our people,’ whether it was spa or not spa, I don’t want him
taking people. And he was fine. And then not too long after that, he did
it again. And I said, ‘Out of here.’” 

Epstein, who was found dead in his Manhattan jail cell on Aug. 10, 2019,
while awaiting trial, and Trump, now 79, enjoyed a warm friendship in
the 1990s and early 2000s, but reportedly fell out in the middle of the
latter decade amid a bidding war over a since-demolished Palm Beach,
Fla., mansion. 

Wolff — whose claim on a podcast hosted by the Daily Beast over the
summer that Melania Trump was “very involved” in the future president’s
“relationship” with Epstein led to a lawsuit threat from the first lady
and a retraction by the lefty news site — popped up in Epstein’s
correspondence again on Dec. 15, 2015, the night of a Republican primary
debate. 

“I hear CNN planning to ask Trump tonight about his relationship with
you — either on air or in scrum afterward,” wrote Wolff. 

“[I]f we were able to craft an answer for him,” Epstein answered, “what
do you think it should be?” 

“I think you should let him hang himself,” answered Wolff, who has
authored four widely disputed books about Trump’s first administration
and sucessful 2024 campaign. “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 generates a positive benefit
for you, or, if it really looks like he could win, you could save him,
generating a debt. 

“Of course, it is possible that, when asked, he’ll say Jeffrey is a
great guy and has gotten a raw deal and is a victim of political
correctness, which is to be outlawed in a Trump regime.” 

A bipartisan petition to force a House vote on a measure compelling the
Justice Department to release its Epstein files received the required
218th signature later Wednesday, when Rep. Adelita Grijalva (D-Ariz.)
was sworn in by Speaker Mike Johnson (R-La.). 

Under House rules, once Grijalva signs on to the House petition, the
resolution can be brought to the floor after seven legislative days —
though the bill would still have to pass the Republican-controlled
Senate and be signed by Trump himself.
