Emails Contradict Official Narrative on Epstein Network
Freshly disclosed email correspondence from Jeffrey Epstein's investigation reveals the convicted sex offender and his associates openly discussed "girls" and travel arrangements, directly challenging the US justice department's position that no other men participated in his abuse operations.
The House oversight committee made public on 12 November an email chain from July 2010, showing Epstein contacting an associate with the question "what is your schedule?" The following morning brought a response containing "the other girl name is [redacted]" before escalating to more explicit planning.
Ibiza Meeting Proposal with 'Top Girls'
Later that same day, the associate wrote proposing a meeting in Ibiza with someone named "tigrane" who was described as having "8 top girls" and wanting to "build something" with Epstein. The message specifically mentioned French modelling agent Jean-Luc Brunel as someone who "could do a great biz" and had "the most amazing top models on standby."
Several hours later, the conversation continued with the associate asking whether Epstein could either travel to Ibiza or arrange tickets for "Tigrane and five girls" to come to Paris instead.
This exchange occurred almost exactly one year after Epstein's release from a Florida jail, where he served a brief sentence for solicitation of prostitution involving a minor.
Justice Department Claims Versus Evidence
These revelations directly contradict statements from Donald Trump's justice department, which claimed in July that their Epstein investigation "did not expose any additional third-parties to allegations of illegal wrongdoing" and found no credible evidence that Epstein blackmailed prominent individuals.
The department's memo asserted they uncovered no incriminating 'client list' despite victims consistently maintaining that others participated in Epstein's abuse. This position angered many of Trump's supporters who had expected full transparency regarding Epstein's connections.
Authorities eventually arrested Jean-Luc Brunel in December 2020 at Charles de Gaulle airport on suspicion of rape, sexual assault of minors, and human trafficking. The modelling agent, suspected of providing teenage girls to Epstein, was found dead in his prison cell in February 2022 in an apparent suicide.
Trump's Repeated Appearances in Epstein Documents
While the newly released emails don't indicate Trump's participation in these specific discussions, the president's name appears frequently throughout other documents released by the oversight committee.
Additional email exchanges from 2011, 2015 and 2019 show Epstein describing Trump as "the dog that hasn't barked" and alleging the president had "spent hours" at his home with one victim. Epstein also claimed Trump "knew about the girls."
Further documentation revealed Epstein monitoring Trump's air travel through communications with his pilot and consuming news about the president's political challenges. Despite this surveillance, Epstein also spoke critically of Trump in messages to former treasury secretary Larry Summers, calling him "borderline insane" in December 2018.
The White House dismissed the significance of these emails, with spokesperson Abigail Jackson stating they "prove literally nothing" and accusing Democrats of selective leaking to create a "fake narrative."
Press secretary Karoline Leavitt emphasized that Trump had expelled Epstein from his club decades earlier for inappropriate behaviour toward female employees and noted that accuser Virginia Giuffre had repeatedly cleared the president of involvement.
