'Where there's smoke': New 'clearly incriminating' Epstein-Trump emails ignite uproar

House Democrats on Wednesday dropped a bombshell of newly discovered emails from deceased financier and sex trafficker Jeffrey Epstein to his co-conspirator Ghislaine Maxwell, in which Epstein directly claimed President Donald Trump was aware of his systematic abuse of young girls but was the "dog who hasn't barked," kept quiet about it for him and "hasn't once mentioned" what he knew to the authorities.

The email, which is released as a monthslong fight continues to force Trump to disclose the full Epstein case files to the public, also comes as the Trump administration upgraded Maxwell to a low-security luxury prison against federal guidelines after she gave an interview purporting to exonerate Trump of misconduct, setting off a firestorm online.

'Should be scared': Data expert says Trump polling should worry GOP ahead of midterms

The Republican Party "should be scared" by Donald Trump's polling numbers ahead of the midterm elections, a data expert has claimed.

CNN's Harry Enten warned the GOP should be worried by current figures which suggest Trump is more like "the Titanic" than a strength for candidates heading into the midterms.
