US House Democrats have released emails they say raise new questions about President Donald Trump's ties to Jeffrey Epstein and how much he knew about the financier's abuse of underage girls. The correspondence released by Democrats on the U-S House Oversight Committee consist of messages between Epstein, Ghislaine Maxwell and journalist Michael Wolff that directly name Mr Trump, and suggest he may have spent hours at Epstein’s home with one of the victims.
