TRUMP 'SPENT HOURS WITH GIUFFRE'

Epstein Files: Donald 'knew about the girls'

- BY CHRISTOPHER BUCKTIN

THE woman who brought down Andrew Mountbatten-Windsor was last night said to have spent time with Donald Trump at the home of the former prince's paedophile friend Jeffrey Epstein.

Epstein told his accomplice, Ghislaine Maxwell, that the US President "spent hours" with Virginia Giuffre.

In another email, he said Mr Trump “knew about the girls”.

The trove of messages, released as part of a probe into the twisted financier's network, call into question Mr Trump’s repeated statements that he knew nothing of Epstein’s crimes.

Robert Garcia, the top Democrat on the US House Oversight Committee, said: “These emails and correspondence raise glaring questions about what else the White House is hiding and the nature of the relationship between Epstein and the President.”

Mr Trump has long dismissed any suggestion he knew about Epstein’s offending, insisting the pair had a falling-out years before the financier’s 2019 suicide in a New York jail.

But a 2011 email sent from Epstein to Maxwell read: "I want you to realise that that dog that hasn't barked is Trump.

“[Ms Giuffre] spent hours at my house with him, he has never once been mentioned.”

Maxwell, later jailed for trafficking underage girls, replied: “I have been thinking about that.”
