‘I am the one able to take him down’: New Epstein emails detail his soured view of former close friend Donald Trump

Emails reveal Epstein's decade-long fixation on Trump, including claims Trump 'spent hours' with victim Virginia Giuffre and Epstein's assertion he could 'take him down.'

  • This week the House Oversight Committee published Epstein emails, including Epstein's line `yes thx. because I am the one able to take him down` and a claim that Trump `spent hours` with Virginia Giuffre, identified by House Republicans as a trafficking victim.
  • They moved in the same social circles in the 1990s and early 2000s, sharing Palm Beach and Manhattan ties, before a 2004 falling out over a Palm Beach mansion dispute.
  • Across exchanges from 2011 onward Jeffrey Epstein repeatedly invoked Trump, calling him `the dog that hasn't barked` and in 2017–2018 used epithets like `f***ing crazy` and speculated about `early dementia`.
  • On Friday, Trump responded on Truth Social by saying he will ask A.G. Pam Bondi, the DOJ, and FBI to investigate Epstein's ties, while Karoline Leavitt rejected claims the emails prove anything.
  • The files span from 2011 onward and were reviewed by news organizations such as CNN, but whether the emails shift politics remains unclear despite Epstein's claim that Trump `knew about the girls`.
