'Yes, it’s real': Bombshell Epstein email appears to undercut Trump's story

A 2011 email from Jeffrey Epstein recently uncovered from the Justice Department’s trove of 3.5 million files on the disgraced financier appears to undercut President Donald Trump’s version of events with respect to his past relationship with the convicted child sex offender.

The email in question was sent to William Riley – who appeared to have been “hired by Epstein to investigate his victims,” the British outlet The Times reported – on April 18, 2011, and references what appears to be a planned call with Trump.

“Before I call Trump. with regard Virginia are there any other alternatives,” Epstein wrote just after midnight.

Epstein’s reference to someone named “Virginia” is speculated to be a reference to Virginia Giuffre, among the most prominent victims of Epstein.

Last summer, Trump made the startling admission that Epstein “stole” Giuffre from his Mar-a-Lago resort in Palm Beach, Florida. It was Epstein’s repeated poaching of workers from Mar-a-Lago, Trump has previously claimed, that led to him cutting off all ties with the disgraced financier sometime around 2004. Trump also said he hadn’t spoken to Epstein since that falling out.

However, were Epstein and Trump to have had a phone call in 2011 as Epstein’s email to Riley indicates, Trump’s claim to have not spoken to Epstein since around 2004 would be proven to be blatantly false.

“Yes, it's real,” reads a social media post from “Trump File,” a prominent anti-Trump organization that documents “events and crimes to hold Trump accountable,” on X Sunday night.

Giuffre sued Epstein and his associate Ghislaine Maxwell in 2009 over sex-trafficking allegations, a lawsuit that sparked other Epstein survivors to follow suit, all of which were settled out of court. She would later die by apparent suicide last year just weeks after a disturbing social media post in which she claimed to have been fatally hit by a bus and given four days to live.
