New Epstein emails appear to reveal more Trump ties Democrats on the House Oversight Committee have released several emails from the estate of convicted sex trafficker Jeffrey Epstein that refer to President Trump.

Jeffrey Epstein, in a 2011 email to Ghislane Maxwell, called Donald Trump the "dog that hasn't barked" and said Trump spent "hours at my house" with an alleged sex trafficking victim.

Letโ€™s be real, Cowboys nation: Is this a defense you actually want to see in the playoffs? Swiss cheese all year long. Even if they make it, it would be a first-round blowout no matter the opponent.
