The United States (U.S.) congressional committee on Wednesday released 20,000 pages of Jeffrey Epstein's emails, the latest in the series of documents released regarding the case of the late sex offender.
President Donald Trump, once friends with Epstein, has again become the center of discussion.
The newly released emails revealed that after the fallout between the billionaires in the mid-2000s, Epstein claimed to have information that could take Trump down.
Epstein, who was arrested in 2019 on sex-trafficking charges and later died in August that year, claimed to have damaging information on now-President Trump.
The released document includes emails spanning 2011 to 2019 when Trump became president and his justice department built a criminal case against the disgraced financier.
This has resulted in a fresh barrage of attacks from Democrats on Trump, who defended himself via a post on social media.
Taking to his own platform Truth Social, Trump wrote, “Democrats are using the Jeffrey Epstein hoax to try and deflect from their massive failures, in particular, their most recent one - THE SHUTDOWN.”
Critics allege that the government is trying to conceal information and it’s only a slice of what the Federal Bureau of Investigation (FBI) has on Epstein’s case.
