Convicted pedophile Jeffrey Epstein<\/a> once claimed President Trump was a regular at his Palm Beach mansion \u2014 but never got a rubdown or was part of any illicit activity.<\/p>\n

\u201cTrump knew of it. and came to my house many times during that period,\u201d Epstein wrote in\u00a0an Feb. 1, 2019 email to himself, months before being arrested on sex trafficking charges and killing himself in jail.\u00a0<\/p>\n

\u201cHe never got a massage.\u201d<\/p>\n

\"PresidentA new report reveals convicted pedophile Jeffrey Epstein claimed President Trump knew underage girls were being sexually abused at the late investor\u2019s Palm Beach mansion \u2014 but never got a rubdown or was part illicit activity. AP<\/p>\n

The email \u2013 first reported by the Washington Post <\/a>\u2014 does not explain what \u201cit\u201d refers to and was released as part of roughly 20,000 pages of documents from Epstein\u2019s estate made public Wednesday by the House Oversight Committee.<\/p>\n

In another 2019 email to author Michael Wolff, Epstein claimed of Trump, \u201cof course he knew about the girls as he asked ghislaine to stop,\u201d referring to confidant and \u201cfixer\u201d Ghislaine Maxwell. <\/p>\n

What he knew and whether it had to do with the convicted sex offender\u2019s crimes was unclear.<\/p>\n

Trump has said that he knew Epstein socially in Palm Beach, and attributed their falling-out in the mid-2000s to a\u00a0real estate deal<\/a>\u00a0and Epstein\u2019s hiring employees away from Trump\u2019s Mar-a-Lago Club.<\/p>\n

\u201cI had no idea,\u201d Trump\u00a0told<\/a>\u00a0reporters in July 2019 asked if he ever had suspicions Epstein was molesting underage women.<\/p>\n

Trump decades ago frequently visited Esptein\u2019s estate for dinner, according to court documents unsealed in January that also noted Prince Andrew got \u201cdaily\u201d massages at the home.<\/a><\/p>\n

Trump would never stay overnight \u2013 and never got a massage from one of Epstein\u2019s girls but would sometimes stop in for a meal, Esptein\u2019s ex-butler told lawyers according to the unsealed records.<\/p>\n

\u201cHe would come, have dinner. He never sat at the table. He eat with me in the kitchen,\u201d said Juan Alesi, who worked as Epstein\u2019s butler from 1991 to 2002.<\/p>\n

\u201cDid he ever have massages while he was there?\u201d the attorney asked about Trump.<\/p>\n

\u201cNo,\u201d Alessi responded. <\/p>\n

\u201cBecause he\u2019s got his own spa.\u201d<\/p>\n
