Newly uncovered emails belonging to disgraced financier Jeffrey Epstein have revealed a controversial connection to U.S. President Donald Trump over the former's sex trafficking allegations.

Epstein became infamous for trafficking minors to high-profile individuals and was being prosecuted for his crimes when he committed suicide in a New York jail in 2019.

A spokesperson for the White House has since dismissed the revelation as a "fake narrative" intended to smear Donald Trump.

Democrats on the House Oversight Committee have made public emails linking Trump to the late paedo financier Jeffrey Epstein.

According to AP News, one email in particular, dated  April 2, 2011, revealed that Trump allegedly "spent hours at Epstein's house" with one of the minors.

"I want you to realize that that dog that hasn't barked is Trump," read the email, which was sent to Epstein's right-hand woman, Ghislaine Maxwell. Maxwell is currently serving a 20-year sentence for her role in Epstein's crimes.

It further read, "(Redacted name) spent hours at my house with him, he has never once been mentioned. police chief. etc. im 75 % there."

The email didn't reveal the details of Trump's alleged time with the minor, nor did it note the name of the victim.

Another damning email from January 2019 revealed a conversation between Epstein and journalist Michael Wolff, who has in the past written extensively about Trump.

The email discussed Epstein's alleged expulsion from Trump's Mar-a-Lago Club, which reports claim occurred several years before the sex trafficking allegations emerged.

It also appeared to indicate that the billionaire mogul was well aware of the sex trafficking network Epstein was running with the help of Ghislaine Maxwell.

"Trump said he asked me to resign," Epstein wrote in the email, adding, "never a member ever... of course he knew about the girls as he asked Ghislaine to stop."

Both emails from Epstein were part of 23,000 documents released by his estate to the Oversight Committee.

"On behalf of the Epstein Estate, we confirm that the Estate produced these documents yesterday in its continuing compliance with the subpoena issued in late August by the House Oversight Committee," said a representative of the estate, per BBC.

While Trump himself hasn't made any statement addressing the newly surfaced emails, a White House representative, Karoline Leavitt, has done so.

She stated that the release of the "selectively leaked emails" was an attempt to "create a fake narrative to smear President Trump."

Leavitt also claimed that Virginia Giuffre, Epstein's most prominent victim, was the individual being discussed in the emails between the late sex offender and his associate, Ghislaine Maxwell.

The White House spokesperson went on to say that Giuffre had "repeatedly said President Trump was not involved in any wrongdoing whatsoever," contrary to what the emails seem to purport.

"The fact remains that President Trump kicked Jeffrey Epstein out of his club decades ago for being a creep to his female employees, including Giuffre," the statement from Leavitt read, per the Daily Mail.

It continued, "These stories are nothing more than bad-faith efforts to distract from President Trump's historic accomplishments, and any American with common sense sees right through this hoax and clear distraction from the government opening back up again."

Back in 2019, Trump told the press while leaving the White House that he had "no idea" about Epstein's activities.

He did admit to having had a relationship with him in the past, but that they fell out, after which he banned the late sex offender from his high-profile club.

"[We] did have a falling out a long time ago. The reason doesn't make any difference, frankly, but I haven't spoken to him in probably 15 years or more," Trump said at the time. "I wasn't a big fan of Jeffrey Epstein, that I can tell you."

Later on, Trump revealed he never visited Epstein's infamous island in the Caribbean Sea.

"His island, whatever this island was, whatever it is, I was never there," Trump shared. "Find out the people that went to the island. But Jeffrey Epstein was not somebody that I respected. I threw him out."
