Rep. Madeleine Dean Says DOJ Email Undermines Trump’s Claim About Epstein at Mar-a-Lago

Rep. Madeleine Dean (D-PA) spent several hours at the Justice Department headquarters in Washington, D.C., reviewing a heavily redacted email from the department’s Jeffrey Epstein-related files. The email, sent in October 2009 by Epstein to “Gmax” (identified as Ghislaine Maxwell), bears the subject line “Trump.” Dean reported that the unredacted portion shows no record of Epstein being expelled from Mar-a-Lago, contradicting the former president’s repeated statements.

The email surfaced as part of the document dump required by the Epstein Files Transparency Act, legislation that President Donald Trump signed in November after previously resisting its release. The act mandates the disclosure of millions of pages of records; to date, roughly 3 million pages have been made public, with Trump’s name appearing more than 1,000 times.
