New Epstein emails,
\nwhich contain references to President Donald Trump, were first released by the
\nUS House Democrats this morning.<\/p>\n

One email, from Epstein
\nto Maxwell in April 2011<\/a>, claims Trump spent hours with a victim. It
\nreads:<\/p>\n

“I want you to
\nrealize that that dog that hasn’t barked is trump.. [Victim] spent hours
\nat my house with him.”<\/p>\n

The victim\u2019s name was
\nfully redacted in the email.<\/p>\n

Shortly afterwards, the White House put out a statement saying the \u201cunnamed victim\u201d was Virginia Giuffre who “repeatedly said President Trump was not involved in any wrongdoing whatsoever”.<\/p>\n

Since that statement, BBC Verify has been combing through the documents released by the Republican-controlled House Oversight Committee. It has found the same email – in a file named HOUSE_OVERSIGHT_031326.txt.<\/p>\n

However, unlike the fully redacted one put out by the US House Democrats, a name does appear:<\/p>\n

“i want you to realize that that dog that hasn’t barked is trump.. virignia spent hours at my house with him ,,”<\/p>\n

Asked why the name was originally redacted, Representative Robert Garcia – the leading Democrat on the US House Oversight Committee – said the party will never release names of victims in line with the wishes of the families.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"New document release doesn’t have Virginia’s name redactedpublished at 17:50 GMT 17:50 GMT By Wesley Stephenson and Tom…\n","protected":false},"author":2,"featured_media":258787,"comment_status":"","ping_status":"","sticky":false,"template":"","format":"standard","meta":{"footnotes":""},"categories":[2],"tags":[49,50,51,47,52,48],"class_list":{"0":"post-259048","1":"post","2":"type-post","3":"status-publish","4":"format-standard","5":"has-post-thumbnail","7":"category-headlines","8":"tag-headlines","9":"tag-news","10":"tag-top-news","11":"tag-top-stories","12":"tag-topnews","13":"tag-topstories"},"_links":{"self":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/uk\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts\/259048","targetHints":{"allow":["GET"]}}],"collection":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/uk\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts"}],"about":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/uk\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/types\/post"}],"author":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/uk\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/users\/2"}],"replies":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/uk\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/comments?post=259048"}],"version-history":[{"count":0,"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/uk\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts\/259048\/revisions"}],"wp:featuredmedia":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/uk\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/media\/258787"}],"wp:attachment":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/uk\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/media?parent=259048"}],"wp:term":[{"taxonomy":"category","embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/uk\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/categories?post=259048"},{"taxonomy":"post_tag","embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/uk\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/tags?post=259048"}],"curies":[{"name":"wp","href":"https:\/\/api.w.org\/{rel}","templated":true}]}}
