After spending hours at the Justice Department headquarters in Washington, D.C., Rep. Madeleine Dean (D-PA) has revealed the contents of a heavily redacted email from the agency’s Jeffrey Epstein-related files, and claimed it exposes clear “lies” by President Donald Trump.
The email in question was sent in October 2009 by Epstein to “Gmax,” a name associated with Ghislaine Maxwell, who’s currently serving a 20-year sentence for sex trafficking. The subject line of the email reads: “Trump,” and the majority of the email’s text is hidden behind a large black box.
However, the Justice Department (DOJ) has allowed lawmakers to view unredacted files at the DOJ headquarters, and Dean, pen and paper in hand, took the agency up on the offer in an effort to view what was within the Trump-related email.
Dean shared what she had learned with journalist Tara Palmeri, telling her that the email “reveals lies of the president,” particularly regarding his oft-repeated claim to have thrown Epstein “out” of his Mar-a-Lago club in Palm Beach, Florida.
“Jeffrey Epstein was never expelled from Mar-a-Lago,” Dean told Palmeri, reading from her notes she had taken while reviewing the unredacted email. “No, he was not a member. May have been a guest. He was never asked to leave. [Trump said] ‘I’ve been on a lot of planes, may have been on his plane. No young girls on plane.’”
Dean’s revelation is the latest to emerge from the sprawling document dump required under the Epstein Files Transparency Act, which Trump signed into law in November after months of resisting its release.
Trump is mentioned more than 1,000 times across the roughly 3 million pages of files made public so far, though the DOJ has maintained that some documents contain “untrue and sensationalist claims” against the president submitted to the FBI ahead of the 2020 election.
