Overview
- A December 25, 2016 email released in the Justice Department's Epstein files shows Jeffrey Epstein writing that he was "in palm with all the trump boys."
- It remains unknown whether any meeting occurred or whether President Donald Trump was present.
- The document trove, produced under the Epstein Files Transparency Act, spans millions of pages that include raw tips and heavily redacted materials.
- The White House rejected the claims, calling Epstein a liar and dismissing related reporting as baseless.
- A confidential FBI source memo in the cache alleges Trump lunched at Epstein's home in spring 2015, an assertion the White House also denies, while Trump has previously said he had not spoken to Epstein in about 15 years.
