Trump fumes after fresh epstein emails emerge, warns Republicans; ‘Democrats will do anything to…’

On November 12, President Donald Trump responded sharply to the release of new Jeffrey Epstein emails by House Democrats, calling it a political ploy to distract from the recent government shutdown crisis. The emails, sent by Epstein to his associate Ghislaine Maxwell and author Michael Wolff, mentioned Trump multiple times, including allegations that Trump spent time with a woman identified by Democrats as a victim. Epstein also referred to Trump as the “dog that hasn’t barked.” Trump dismissed these emails as a “hoax” and accused Democrats of trying to deflect attention from their failures. The White House Press Secretary defended the president amid the controversy.
