Democrats allege Trump spent 2017 Thanksgiving with Epstein after email leak

Emails released by the House Oversight Committee reveal Epstein mentioned Trump in a 2017 Thanksgiving exchange, fueling political debate despite no evidence of wrongdoing.

  • On Nov. 12, House Oversight Committee members released emails from Nov. 23, 2017, in which Jeffrey Epstein referenced President Donald Trump and someone was 'down there' on Thanksgiving.
  • Faith Kates asked Jeffrey Epstein where he was spending Thanksgiving on Nov. 23, 2017, and Epstein replied 'eva', prompting Kates to ask who else was 'down there' and mention 'glenn'.
  • Epstein's own messages disparaged President Donald Trump, calling him 'not one decent cell in his body', while White House records show Trump spent Thanksgiving 2017 at Mar-a-Lago and Trump International Golf Club in West Palm Beach.
  • Democrats seized on the exchange, with Rep. Sean Casten and the Democratic Party X account reposting then deleting the claim that President Donald Trump spent Thanksgiving with Epstein, while White House spokesperson Abigail Jackson said these emails prove literally nothing and called the release a distraction.
  • Although the release rekindled scrutiny, no evidence links President Donald Trump to Epstein's trafficking, while Ghislaine Maxwell was convicted and Eva Andersson-Dubin testified at Maxwell's 2021 trial as Epstein died awaiting new charges.
