Newly Released Jeffrey Epstein Emails Referencing Donald Trump Draw Reaction from the Late Financier's Brother

He thought he took his secrets to the grave — but now, with just a few lines of text and a name too big to ignore, the ghost of Jeffrey Epstein is rattling the gates of Mar-a-Lago, and Donald Trump is once again facing questions he'd rather bury.

Fresh outrage is erupting in the wake of newly uncovered emails from disgraced financier Jeffrey Epstein, this time dragging Donald Trump back into the scandal that refuses to die. The messages, released by House Democrats, hint at deeper ties between the two men — and now, Epstein's brother Mark Epstein is speaking publicly for the first time.

Cryptic Messages and a Mysterious House Visit

In a brief but loaded exchange with Newsweek, Mark said he wouldn't be "surprised" if there were more damaging messages involving Donald. Still, he stopped short of confirming or denying their existence. When asked about Michael Wolff's commentary on the matter, he admitted he had "no opinion."

At the center of the latest revelations is an email dated April 2, 2011, in which Jeffrey refers to Donald as "the dog that hasn't barked." In the same message, he makes an unsettling claim — that an unnamed victim had spent "hours at my house with him."

The message was sent just weeks after the British press began pulling the lid off Jeffrey's secretive world — one filled with elite names, scandal, and silence. This email was among three selected from a massive trove of more than 23,000 documents recently handed over to House Democrats by the Epstein Estate after a subpoena.

Any identifying information about alleged victims was redacted, but the insinuations remain disturbing.

Wolff's Caution Turns Calculated

Another series of emails adds further intrigue. In December 2015, as Donald's presidential campaign gained steam, Michael, a journalist and author who has chronicled Donald's time in the White House, messaged Jeffrey.

"I hear CNN planning to ask Donald tonight about his relationship with you—either on air or in scrum afterwards," Michael warned. Jeffrey replied, "If we were to craft an answer for him, what do you think it should be?"

Michael's response was cold and strategic. He said, "I think you should let him hang himself... If he says he hasn't been on the plane or to the house, then that gives you a valuable PR and political currency." He added that if Donald looked like he could actually win, Jeffrey could "save him, generating a debt."

Donald Allegedly Knew 'About the Girls'

The final message — dated January 2019, with Donald in the White House — may be the most damning yet. "Donald said he asked me to resign, never a member ever," Jeffrey wrote. "Of course he knew about the girls as he asked Ghislaine to stop."

The full context of the messages is still unclear, but these fragments are already reigniting questions that many thought had been buried — and Mark's guarded words suggest more revelations may be on the horizon.

Donald Fires Back, Shifts Focus

Following the release of the emails, Donald wasted no time in addressing the matter publicly — though not the content itself. Taking to Truth Social, he sidestepped the specifics and instead slammed Democrats for trying to manipulate the narrative.

According to Donald, the real motive behind the email release was to distract from the looming government shutdown, not to raise questions about his connection to Jeffrey.

His campaign doubled down on that defense during a November 12, 2025 press conference, when Press Secretary Karoline Leavitt spoke directly to the media.

"These emails prove absolutely nothing other than the fact that President Trump did nothing wrong," Karoline said. "And what President Trump has always said is that he was from Palm Beach, and so was Jeffrey Epstein."

Karoline then reiterated a claim Donald has made in the past — that Jeffrey was once a member of Mar-a-Lago, but was personally removed by Donald himself.

"Because Jeffrey Epstein was a pedophile and he was a creep," she added bluntly.

More Questions Than Answers

With each new document, the scandal seems to swell — not fade. While Donald and his team insist there is nothing new here, the timing, tone, and content of the emails have left many observers asking what else might be buried in those 23,000 records.

And if Mark's instincts are right, this may only be the beginning and more emails may surface in the near future.
