WASHINGTON, DC: Right-wing commentator Candace Owens claimed on Thursday, November 13, that Israel is "blackmailing" President Donald Trump following the recent developments in Jeffrey Epstein's case.

The Democrats on the House Oversight Committee released a few emails on Wednesday, November 12, sent to and by Epstein about the POTUS. Their Republican counterparts also released more than 20,000 pages of documents in the hands of the committee.

The newly published emails show Jeffrey Epstein mentioned President Trump several times in private messages spanning 15 years.

The documents, which were obtained by Congress after subpoenaing Epstein’s estate, include exchanges with Ghislaine Maxwell and author Michael Wolff.

In a 2011 email, the disgraced financier referred to the POTUS as "the dog that hasn’t barked", while in another 2019 message referenced Trump saying he removed Epstein from Mar-a-Lago, a claim Trump has maintained, denying any wrongdoing.

Owens offered her view of the complete scenario and wrote in a post on X, "They are blackmailing President Donald Trump in broad daylight. The slow release of the emails is intentional. Now he will give them whatever they want."

"For those who struggle with context clues, THEY=Israel, who Jeffrey Epstein worked for. This is how our nation is run," she added.

Meanwhile, during a July White House press briefing, Director of National Intelligence Tulsi Gabbard said there was no evidence to suggest that Epstein was working for any foreign or domestic intelligences service.

She said, "I haven’t seen any evidence or information that reflects that. If anything comes before me that changes that in any way, support the President’s statement loud and clear. If any credible evidence comes forward, he wants the American people to see it," after being asked about the possiblity.

Epstein claimed he 'gave' Trump his ex-girlfriend after dating her for two years

In the latest Epstein emails, the disgraced financier claimed he once "gave" his ex-girlfriend to Donald Trump after dating her for two years and that the POTUS "knew about the girls".

Democrats on the House Oversight Committee on Wednesday published newly unearthed emails that Epstein sent to Ghislaine Maxwell and author Michael Wolff about Trump.

The messages showed the late convicted offender bragging that "Of course he knew about the girls", and that President Trump "spent hours at my house" with a young woman that House Republicans say was Virginia Roberts Giuffre.

Moreover, Epstein even mused about letting Trump "hang himself" with comments about their relationship.

However, within hours, Republicans fired back with their own document dump with thousands of pages packed with their own revelations.

One of the shocking exchanges came in Epstein’s correspondence with then-New York Times reporter Thomas Landon Jr.

Epstein asked, "Would you like photos of Donald and girls in bikinis in my kitchen?" as  Landon responded, "Yes!!!" 

The disgraced financier then followed up with specifics, and wrote in one message, "Hawaiian Tropic girl Lauren Petrella."

Meanwhile, in another, he was linked to a story about Norwegian heiress Celina Midelfart and said she was "my 20-year-old girlfriend in 93, that after two years I gave to Donald."
