Convicted pedophile Jeffrey Epstein once claimed President Trump was a regular at his Palm Beach mansion — but never got a rubdown or was part of any illicit activity.
“Trump knew of it. and came to my house many times during that period,” Epstein wrote in an Feb. 1, 2019 email to himself, months before being arrested on sex trafficking charges and killing himself in jail.
“He never got a massage.”
The email – first reported by the Washington Post — does not explain what “it” refers to and was released as part of roughly 20,000 pages of documents from Epstein’s estate made public Wednesday by the House Oversight Committee.
In another 2019 email to author Michael Wolff, Epstein claimed of Trump, “of course he knew about the girls as he asked ghislaine to stop,” referring to confidant and “fixer” Ghislaine Maxwell.
What he knew and whether it had to do with the convicted sex offender’s crimes was unclear.
Trump has said that he knew Epstein socially in Palm Beach, and attributed their falling-out in the mid-2000s to a real estate deal and Epstein’s hiring employees away from Trump’s Mar-a-Lago Club.
“I had no idea,” Trump told reporters in July 2019 asked if he ever had suspicions Epstein was molesting underage women.

“I haven’t spoken to him in many, many years.”
Trump decades ago frequently visited Esptein’s estate for dinner, according to court documents unsealed in January that also noted Prince Andrew got “daily” massages at the home.
Trump would never stay overnight – and never got a massage from one of Epstein’s girls but would sometimes stop in for a meal, Esptein’s ex-butler told lawyers according to the unsealed records.
“He would come, have dinner. He never sat at the table. He eat with me in the kitchen,” said Juan Alesi, who worked as Epstein’s butler from 1991 to 2002.
“Did he ever have massages while he was there?” the attorney asked about Trump.
“No,” Alessi responded.
“Because he’s got his own spa.”
Trump said Wednesday that Democrats “are trying to bring up the Jeffrey Epstein Hoax again because they’ll do anything at all to deflect on how badly they’ve done” on the government shutdown “and so many other subjects.”
“There should be no deflections to Epstein or anything else, and any Republicans involved should be focused only on opening up our Country, and fixing the massive damage caused by the Democrats!” he wrote.
