Released files show that Trump knew about the girls, and spent hours at Epsteins with this girl. This release brought the house together, and voted for the release of all the Epstein files. Trump and his allies label this a hoax, and push back saying this is the Democrats attempt at slashing his name and campaign.

This claim is true. In newly released emails, Epstein makes critical comments about Trump’s “dirty business” tactics, his character (“Worse in real life and up close”), and states that Trump’s claim that he revoked Epstein’s membership to his Mar-a-Lago club for “being a creep” was false – Epstein reveals that he was never a member (NBC). This directly conflicts with the claim made by White House press secretary Karoline Leavitt, who stated that the President had kicked Epstein out of his club “because Jeffrey Epstein was a pedophile and he was a creep” (PBS). Another claim is that Trump “knew about the girls” (victims of the sex-trafficking ring), and one of these emails states that President Trump once “spent hours at my [Epstein’s] house” with a young woman who later accused Epstein of sexually abusing and trafficking her when she was a teenager (NYT). This new batch of emails reveals further involvement of President Trump in Epstein’s world and has increased bipartisan support for releasing the files (PBS). Trump's administration has labeled these new emails as a "hoax" performed by the Democrats intending to tarnish his name (CNN).

In constructing this fact check, I tried to find as unbiased sources as possible, focusing on non-opinion pieces and polls.
