A long-buried email tied to Jeffrey Epstein just blew a hole in one of Donald Trump’s most repeated claims—and it happened in full public view on the House floor.
Rep. Dan Goldman didn’t hint at it. He held it up.
The document in question is a 2009 email from Epstein attorney Jack Goldberger—one that had been heavily redacted in earlier Justice Department releases. Goldman presented the unredacted version Wednesday, revealing details that directly contradict Trump’s narrative about his relationship with Epstein and what really happened at Mar-a-Lago.
At the center of it: whether Epstein was ever kicked out of Trump’s club.
For years, Trump and his allies have insisted he cut ties and expelled Epstein. The White House has doubled down on that version, with press secretary Karoline Leavitt claiming, “President Trump did nothing wrong and he kicked Jeffrey Epstein out of Mar-a-Lago for being a creep.”
But the newly revealed email tells a very different story.
According to Goldberger’s summary of a call involving Trump and his attorney Alan Garten, when asked directly if Epstein had been expelled, Garten responded: “No he was not a member. May have been his guest. Never asked to leave.”
It doesn’t stop there. A Mar-a-Lago manager reportedly confirmed the same thing—Epstein was “never asked to leave Mar-a-Lago.”
That’s a direct contradiction.
The email also captures Trump’s own comments about his past interactions with Epstein. Asked whether he had flown on Epstein’s plane, Trump said: **“I’ve been on a lot of planes. May have been on his plane. No young girls on plane.”
On visiting Epstein’s residence, Trump added: “I may have been there with my wife,” and noted, “May have been children of guests but that’s it.”
Those statements don’t line up cleanly with Trump’s more recent public claims, where he’s said he was not “friendly” with Epstein and was “never” on his plane.
Goldman didn’t mince words about what he believes is going on.
He accused Trump of making “false statements over the past quarter century about Jeffrey Epstein.”
And he didn’t stop with Trump.
Goldman also took aim at Attorney General Pam Bondi’s department, suggesting the issue goes beyond a single email. According to him, millions of Epstein-related documents still haven’t been released.
“The reason why this matters is because we don’t have half of the Epstein files,” Goldman said. “We identified 6 million Epstein files for potential release but have only disclosed about 3.5 million.”
Then came the bigger question hanging over all of it:
“If the attorney general is covering up this information that she then reveals to Congress, what else is she covering up about Donald Trump’s involvement in the Epstein files?”
So far, neither the Justice Department nor the White House has responded.
But the damage is already done.
Because this time, it’s not just accusations—it’s Trump’s own words, sitting in black and white, contradicting the story he’s been telling for years.
