Within hours, they latched onto three emails \u2014 one of which has already been public for quite some time \u2014 and tried to spin them into yet another smear campaign against President Donald Trump.<\/p>\n<p>Of course, this little stunt was nothing more than a desperate attempt to calm their angry base \u2014 the same base still fuming over the Democrats\u2019 total collapse during the Schumer Shutdown.<\/p>\n<p>Now, their media allies are doing what they always do: breathlessly labeling these recycled emails as \u201cbombshell\u201d revelations. But the truth is, there\u2019s nothing new here. All this episode really exposes is how panicked and pathetic the Democrats have become, and how far they\u2019re willing to sink to distract from their own failures:<\/p>\n<p>&nbsp;<\/p>\n<p>In a 2011 email exchange with Ghislane Maxwell, Epstein said:<\/p>\n<p>I want you to realize that that dog that hasn\u2019t barked is Trump\u2026[REDACTED VICTIM] spent hours at my house with him,, he has never once been mentioned. police chief, etc. i\u2019m 75% there<\/p>\n<p>Then Maxwell responded: \u201cI have been thinking about that.\u201d<\/p>\n<p>Democrats conveniently redacted the name of the victim in those documents \u2014 and there\u2019s only one reason for that: the victim is Virginia Giuffre.<\/p>\n<p>Giuffre\u2019s own sworn deposition makes it crystal clear that President Trump never so much as flirted with her. She testified that she met Trump at Mar-a-Lago through her father and that, despite Epstein bragging that Trump was a \u201cgood friend,\u201d she never once saw the two men in the same room.<\/p>\n<p>In other words, the Democrats\u2019 so-called \u201cbombshell\u201d isn\u2019t just misleading \u2014 it\u2019s a deliberate smear built on half-truths and redactions designed to twist the story:<\/p>\n<p>&nbsp;<\/p>\n<p>In her memoir, \u201cNobody\u2019s Girl,\u201d published posthumously in April 2025, she stated that Trump assisted her in earning extra money as a babysitter for families renting homes at the Mar-a-Lago estate. She added, \u201cTrump couldn\u2019t have been friendlier, telling me it was fantastic that I was there.\u201d<\/p>\n<p>The other two emails in question are between Jeffrey Epstein and none other than disgraced Daily Beast journalist Michael Wolff \u2014 the same guy whose credibility crumbled after his outlet was forced to retract a July story falsely claiming that a modeling agent linked to Epstein had introduced Melania and Donald Trump. Wolff\u2019s been obsessed with taking down Trump for years, and he\u2019s never let facts get in the way of that mission.<\/p>\n<p>One of the emails, from 2015 \u2014 right as Trump was launching his presidential campaign \u2014 shows Wolff reaching out to Epstein, warning him that CNN planned to ask Trump on-air about his supposed connection to Epstein.<\/p>\n<p>Epstein replied asking, \u201cIf we were able to craft an answer for him, what do you think it should be?\u201d Wolff told Epstein to \u201clet [Trump] hang himself,\u201d before speculating on ways that Epstein could help himself.<\/p>\n<p>Then, on January 31, 2019 \u2014 just months before Epstein\u2019s final arrest \u2014 Epstein emailed Michael Wolff again, mentioning Virginia Giuffre and Mar-a-Lago. Parts of the message were redacted, but what remains is telling: Epstein stated plainly that Trump had never asked him to resign from the Mar-a-Lago Club because he was never a member to begin with.<\/p>\n<p>Then Epstein says, \u201cOf course he knew about the girls as he asked Ghislaine to stop.\u201d<\/p>\n<p>So what exactly was Trump supposed to \u201cknow\u201d about the girls? Let\u2019s stick to the facts. Trump was the one who kicked Epstein out of Mar-a-Lago \u2014 full stop. Previous reports indicated Epstein was banned after he allegedly harassed a member\u2019s teenage daughter at the club.<\/p>\n<p>And when Trump was asked about it aboard Air Force One in July 2025, he explained that Epstein had also been poaching employees \u2014 specifically, young women who worked in the club\u2019s spa:<\/p>\n<p>\u201cPeople were taken out of the spa \u2014 hired by him \u2014 in other words, gone. And other people would come and complain, \u2018This guy is taking people from the spa.&#8217;\u201d \u201cI didn\u2019t know that. And then when I heard about it, I told him, I said, \u2018Listen, we don\u2019t want you taking our people, whether it was spa or not spa, I don\u2019t want them taking people.\u2019 And he was fine. And then not too long after that, he did it again. And I said, \u2018Out of here.&#8217;\u201d<\/p>\n<p>When Epstein claimed that Trump told Ghislaine Maxwell to \u201cstop,\u201d it\u2019s unclear what exactly he was referring to \u2014 whether Trump was warning her to stop recruiting his employees or to stop whatever she was doing involving those girls. But here\u2019s the bottom line: there\u2019s nothing wrong with either of those scenarios.<\/p>\n<p>In fact, if Trump had even an inkling that Epstein\u2019s behavior went beyond being just a sleazy older man and told them to knock it off, that\u2019s not a scandal \u2014 that\u2019s commendable. It shows he did what decent people do: he drew a line and said, enough.<\/p>\n<p>Needless to say, Trump responded to this latest Democrat \u2018gotcha\u2019 nothingburger online:<\/p>\n<p>&nbsp;<\/p>\n<p>Trump wrote:<\/p>\n<p>The Democrats are trying to bring up the Jeffrey Epstein Hoax again because they\u2019ll do anything at all to deflect on how badly they\u2019ve done on the Shutdown, and so many other subjects. Only a very bad, or stupid, Republican would fall into that trap. The Democrats cost our Country $1.5 Trillion Dollars with their recent antics of viciously closing our Country, while at the same time putting many at risk \u2014 and they should pay a fair price. 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!<\/p>\n<p>He followed that post up with this:<\/p>\n<p>In other words, the Democrats are using the Jeffrey Epstein Hoax to try and deflect from their massive failures, in particular, their most recent one \u2014 THE SHUTDOWN!<\/p>\n<p>Of course, none of that will matter to the clapping seals on the Left \u2014 they\u2019re already performing right on cue, doing exactly what they\u2019re trained to do. Facts don\u2019t matter, truth doesn\u2019t matter, only the narrative does.<\/p>\n<p>But here\u2019s the irony: this latest Democrat stunt is actually having the opposite effect. Instead of hurting Trump, it\u2019s uniting his base \u2014 even the segment that wasn\u2019t thrilled with some of the positions he discussed during his two-part interview with Laura Ingraham this week.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>On Wednesday morning, the House Oversight Committee released a massive cache of 20,000 documents obtained from Jeffrey Epstein\u2019s estate \u2014 and, right on cue, Democrats wasted no time twisting the &hellip; <\/p>\n","protected":false},"author":1,"featured_media":23537,"comment_status":"open","ping_status":"open","sticky":false,"template":"","format":"standard","meta":{"footnotes":""},"categories":[1],"tags":[],"class_list":["post-23536","post","type-post","status-publish","format-standard","has-post-thumbnail","hentry","category-news"],"_links":{"self":[{"href":"https:\/\/cndailynews.store\/index.php?rest_route=\/wp\/v2\/posts\/23536","targetHints":{"allow":["GET"]}}],"collection":[{"href":"https:\/\/cndailynews.store\/index.php?rest_route=\/wp\/v2\/posts"}],"about":[{"href":"https:\/\/cndailynews.store\/index.php?rest_route=\/wp\/v2\/types\/post"}],"author":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/cndailynews.store\/index.php?rest_route=\/wp\/v2\/users\/1"}],"replies":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/cndailynews.store\/index.php?rest_route=%2Fwp%2Fv2%2Fcomments&post=23536"}],"version-history":[{"count":1,"href":"https:\/\/cndailynews.store\/index.php?rest_route=\/wp\/v2\/posts\/23536\/revisions"}],"predecessor-version":[{"id":23538,"href":"https:\/\/cndailynews.store\/index.php?rest_route=\/wp\/v2\/posts\/23536\/revisions\/23538"}],"wp:featuredmedia":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/cndailynews.store\/index.php?rest_route=\/wp\/v2\/media\/23537"}],"wp:attachment":[{"href":"https:\/\/cndailynews.store\/index.php?rest_route=%2Fwp%2Fv2%2Fmedia&parent=23536"}],"wp:term":[{"taxonomy":"category","embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/cndailynews.store\/index.php?rest_route=%2Fwp%2Fv2%2Fcategories&post=23536"},{"taxonomy":"post_tag","embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/cndailynews.store\/index.php?rest_route=%2Fwp%2Fv2%2Ftags&post=23536"}],"curies":[{"name":"wp","href":"https:\/\/api.w.org\/{rel}","templated":true}]}}
