But publicly available correspondence tells a more complicated story. Emails and communications involving political insiders across Washington indicate Epstein’s influence crossed far beyond party lines.
New Emails Surface: A Bipartisan Web of Connections
On Wednesday, the House Oversight Committee released another tranche of emails involving Epstein and Ghislaine Maxwell. Many came from Democrats, but several came from Republicans as well, including figures deeply connected to both the pre-Trump and post-Trump political eras.
Among those correspondences were messages involving:
- Larry Summers – former Treasury Secretary in the Clinton administration
- Steve Bannon – former White House strategist and MAGA movement figurehead
One email reportedly featured Epstein’s insinuation that “Trump knew about the girls.” Both the White House and Trump have strongly denied that he had any knowledge of Epstein’s criminal activities.

Trump compared the public demand for information on Epstein to the release of documents related to the assassinations of President John F. Kennedy, Sen. Robert Kennedy, and Dr. Martin Luther King Jr.
