"I am the only one who can bring him down": this is what Jeffrey Epstein writes, referring to Donald Trump, in one of the emails released by the House oversight committee. Emails from which the shadow of blackmail also emerges: from research into the tycoon's financial statements to the offer of photos of 'Donald and girls in bikinis in my kitchen'.

The US House Democratic caucus has published some emails from Jeffrey Epstein, in which the paedophile financier, who died by suicide in prison in 2019, said that current US President Donald Trump "spent hours at my house" with one of the girls who was the victim of the billionaire's violence.

 This was revealed by theNew York Times. In other messages, Esptein implied that Trump was aware of his crimes to a far greater degree than the US leader has ever acknowledged. Trump has always acknowledged that he had, in the past, been friends with Epstein, but claimed that their relationship had cooled completely.

And now the White House has accused House Dems of leaking the emails to smear the president. "Democrats selectively leaked emails to progressive media to create a false narrative and smear President Trump," said White House spokeswoman Karoline Leavitt. She added: "These emails prove nothing except that President Trump has done absolutely nothing wrong," Leavitt said during a press conference."The tycoon himself spoke out on Truth: "The Democrats are trying to bring up the Jeffrey Epstein hoax again, because they will do anything to divert attention from how badly they handled the government shutdown and so many other issues. Only a very bad, or stupid, Republican would fall into that trap." And again, "The Dems have cost our country $1.5 trillion with their recent follies in fiercely shutting down the country while putting many people at risk, and they should pay the right price. Attention should not be diverted from Epstein or anything else, andthe Republicans involved should focus only on reopening the country and repairing the massive damage caused by the Democrats!".

According to the New York Times, the White House is pressing Congressional Republicans in favour of releasing in full all documents on Jeffrey Epstein held by the Justice Department. Conservative Congresswoman Laura Boebert was summoned by administration officials.

Meanwhile, Democrat Adelita Grijalva was sworn in and officially became a Congresswoman seven weeks late due to the shutdown. Speaking shortly before the swearing-in, Grijalva assured that she would sign the petition to force a vote in the House on a bill calling for the full release of Trump administration documents concerning Jeffrey Epstein. With his signature, the threshold of 218 signatures needed for the bipartisan petition calling on the Justice Department to make public all still-secret documents on the Epstein affair was reached.

In response, after months of postponement and political tension,House Republicans have made public over 23,000 pages of documents related to Epstein's estate. The material was obtained by subpoena from House Oversight Committee Chairman James Comer.

Trump on Epstein: 'A strange guy'

The president also called Epstein "a weirdo", dismissing the indictment for any wrongdoing and denying contact for illicit purposes with Epstein or Ghislaine Maxwell, the woman who played a crucial role in luring the girls to the financier and his associates. In one of these emails, Epstein openly says that 'Trump knew about the girls, and asked Ghislaine to stop'. Many of the girls subjected to Esptein's harassment and violence were minors. Speaking of one of his victims and Trump, Epstein writes: "He spent hours at my house with him... and he was never even mentioned."

Letter to the writer Michael Wolff

In another email, addressed to writer Michael Wolff in December 2015, Epstein wonders how he could describe their relationship, while the figure of Donald Trump had by then assumed national political prominence. "If he said he's never been on your plane, or in your house, it would give you a fabulous card to play.".

In the meantime, Karoline Leavitt also made it known thatthe US president would neither be talking nor thinking about a pardon for Ghislaine Maxwell, a long-time associate of Jeffrey Epstein also convicted of sex trafficking after the financier's death.

Netanyahu: 'We want to reduce dependence on foreign aid in defence'

Israel's goal is to strengthen its defence industry and reduce its dependence on foreign aid. In an interview with Australian television, Israeli Prime Minister Benjamin Netanyahu rejects rumours published by Axios that Israel is seeking a 20-year military aid agreement with the US, with changes to the America First programme. Asked about New York's new mayor, Zohran Mamdani, who said he would order Netanyahu's arrest if he visited the city, the PM said he was 'not afraid' to travel and warned that economic and social instability in major Western cities 'should worry everyone'. Netanyahu also criticised French President Emmanuel Macron's decision to host Palestinian National Authority President Mahmoud Abbas in Paris, saying that "peace cannot be built on falsehood". Addressing the Iranian people in the midst of their government's ongoing crisis, he said that Israel 'stands by those who seek a better future'. Regarding Gaza, Netanyahu stated that Israel "will not outsource its security" and confirmed its intention to remain active in public life. He also spoke about the impact of political pressure on his family, calling the media attacks on his wife and son "the most painful part of leadership."
