President Donald Trump shut down a reporter aboard Air Force One when asked about newly released emails from the estate of disgraced financier Jeffrey Epstein that mention him.
Knewz.com has learned that one of the emails claims Trump “knew about the girls” — a phrase that has alarmed critics.
Trump ‘knew about the girls’
The House Oversight Committee recently released thousands of emails linked to Epstein.
In one 2011 message sent to author Michael Wolff, Epstein wrote that Trump “knew about the girls.”
In another email, Epstein alleges that Trump “spent hours at my house” with a victim identified as the late Virginia Giuffre, who had publicly stated she never witnessed Trump engage in inappropriate conduct.
Reporter presses Trump on Epstein’s allegations
Recently, a reporter asked Trump on Air Force One, “Mr. President, what did Jeffrey Epstein mean in emails when he said you ‘knew about the girls’?”
The president responded defensively, claiming ignorance.
“I know nothing about that. They would’ve announced that a long time ago,” he said.
He challenged the journalist’s implication by deflecting to other individuals linked to Epstein, saying, “It’s really, what did he mean when he spent all the time with Bill Clinton, with the president of Harvard… Larry Summers, whatever his name is, and all of the other people that he spent time with.”
“Jeffrey Epstein and I had a very bad relationship for many years,” Trump added.
The reporter tried to press further, saying, “If there’s nothing incriminating in the files…”
But Trump interrupted, sharply ordering, “Quiet! Quiet!”
He offered no additional context before turning to another question about Venezuela.
The Epstein Files Transparency Act
Congress recently passed — with only one dissenting vote — the Epstein Files Transparency Act, compelling the Department of Justice to release all unclassified records in its possession related to Epstein within 30 days.
That includes financial records, flight logs, investigative documents and internal DOJ communications.
Advocates for survivors argue the public must see the full scope of Epstein’s network; critics warn it could implicate powerful individuals.
Rep. Clay Higgins was the only vote against the bill, citing fears of harming “innocent people.”
‘Nothing to hide’
Trump — who previously opposed the release and aligned with GOP leadership, calling the Epstein files a “Democrat hoax” — reversed course and signed the bill, arguing there is “nothing to hide.”
Attorney General Pam Bondi said the department would follow the law with “maximum transparency” while protecting victims.
