Epstein claimed he 'gave' Trump his ex-girlfriend after dating her for 2 years in bombshell emails
WASHINGTON, DC: Jeffrey Epstein once claimed he “gave” his ex-girlfriend to Donald Trump after having been with her for two years.
In a fresh batch of Epstein emails released by House Democrats, the late convicted offender claimed he once “gave” his ex-girlfriend to Trump after dating her for two years and that the president “knew about the girls.”
Bombshell Epstein cmemail drop
On Wednesday morning, November 12, Democrats on the House Oversight Committee published newly unearthed emails Epstein sent to Ghislaine Maxwell and author Michael Wolff about Trump.
The messages show Epstein bragging that “Of course he knew about the girls,” and that Trump “spent hours at my house” with a young woman that House Republicans say was Virginia Roberts Giuffre. Epstein even mused about letting Trump “hang himself” with comments about their relationship.
But Republicans weren’t about to let Democrats steal the show. Within hours, they fired back with their own document dump with tens of thousands of pages packed with their own revelations.
One of the more eyebrow-raising exchanges came in Epstein’s correspondence with then–New York Times reporter Thomas Landon Jr. “Would you like photos of Donald and girls in bikinis in my kitchen?” Epstein asked. Landon responded, “Yes!!!”
Epstein followed up with specifics. “Hawaiian Tropic girl Lauren Petrella,” he wrote in one message. In another, he 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."
The Lauren Petrella and Celina Midelfart connection
It's worth noting that Lauren Petrella wasn’t just any “Hawaiian Tropic girl.” She was later named in a since-withdrawn harassment lawsuit filed by Jill Harth against Trump. That suit included a bombshell allegation involving Petrella.
"In the predawn hours, a contestant named Lauren Petrella — who, at age 22, was 24 years younger than the 46-year-old Trump — allegedly found Trump, unannounced and uninvited, in her bed. 'You said you don’t sleep with men on the first date,' he told her, according to the lawsuit filed by Harth. 'Now it’s the second date, and here I am.'"
It's also worth noting that Celina Midelfart was reportedly the woman Trump was out with the night he first met Melania Knauss, the then-Slovenian model who would go on to become first lady Melania Trump.
Ghislaine Maxwell’s take, Adelita Grijalva's appointment
The emails don’t exactly match the story told by Epstein’s longtime partner-in-crime, Ghislaine Maxwell. She told Deputy Attorney General Todd Blanche in a prison interview on July 24, “I don’t think they were close friends or I certainly never witnessed the President in any of — I don’t recall ever seeing him in [Epstein’s] house, for instance.”
According to Democrats, these messages came from a trove of more than 23,000 documents turned over by the Epstein Estate to the Oversight Committee. The timing of the release was interesting as House Speaker Mike Johnson (R-LA) finally swore in Rep-elect Adelita Grijalva (D-AZ), who’d been waiting since her September 23 election to take her seat.
Critics accused Johnson of dragging his feet because Grijalva’s vote could tip the scales. She’s expected to be the decisive 218th signature on a discharge petition that would force a full House floor vote to release the rest of the Epstein files.
Trump’s denials about Epstein
Meanwhile, Trump has been trying to close the book on Epstein for years. He has repeatedly dismissed the entire thing as a “Democrat hoax” and insisted the Epstein saga is a “dead issue.”
Back in July, the Department of Justice said it wouldn’t release any more Epstein-related material. In September, the Wall Street Journal published a supposed birthday card Trump allegedly wrote to Epstein for his 50th. The message was notably scrawled inside the outline of a naked woman.
However, Trump has since dismissed that letter as a "fake."
