In a bizarre and baseless outburst, New Mexico Democrat Rep. Melanie Stansbury is accusing the White House of “covering up” President Donald Trump’s supposed ties to Jeffrey Epstein — even though no credible evidence has ever linked Trump to Epstein’s criminal acts, and years of investigations under Democrat-led agencies have produced nothing to the contrary.
Appearing on TMZ Live on Wednesday, Stansbury claimed a newly released batch of Epstein-related emails proved “the White House is trying to cover up Donald Trump’s involvement with Jeffrey Epstein.” She pointed to one message, allegedly sent to Ghislaine Maxwell, reading:
“I want you to realize that that dog that hasn’t barked is trump.. [VICTIM REDACTED] spent hours at my house with him ,, he has never once been mentioned.”
From that vague and decades-old email, Stansbury jumped to wild conclusions — speculating about “police involvement” and accusing the Trump administration of hiding evidence. She went so far as to allege officials are “threatening Republicans to remove their signatures” from a discharge petition demanding full release of Epstein-related materials.
Stansbury’s rant quickly drew ridicule from journalists and commentators across the spectrum. Newsmax host Rob Schmitt blasted her conspiracy-laden tirade on X, writing:
“The usual clowns with more bulls**t. The name of the victim Trump spent ‘hours with’ was redacted by Dems. This was done intentionally. It’s Virginia Giuffre, her identity was unmasked by Republicans. Why did Dems conceal her ID??? Because Giuffre praised Trump in her book as having done nothing wrong. These people are animals.”
Schmitt’s post refers to Virginia Giuffre, the most prominent Epstein accuser, who has publicly stated that Donald Trump never acted inappropriately toward her. In fact, Giuffre wrote in her 2015 memoir that Trump was “a good guy” and that she had “never seen him act improperly toward anyone.” Even the FBI — under Democrat administrations — never found an iota of evidence linking Trump to Epstein’s trafficking ring.
Trump himself cut ties with Epstein long before his arrest. As The Associated Press reported, the future president banned Epstein from his Mar-a-Lago Club after learning Epstein had attempted to recruit one of the club’s employees. “I’m not a fan of Jeffrey Epstein,” Trump told reporters years before Epstein’s death. Multiple witnesses have confirmed Trump severed contact with Epstein once his disturbing behavior came to light.
Despite that history, Stansbury — who has a reputation for far-left activism — continues to spin the theory that Trump somehow escaped accountability through an elaborate White House “cover-up.” Her remarks come as Democrats attempt to weaponize the release of selective Epstein documents to smear political opponents. Notably, these same Democrats control both the Department of Justice and the FBI — agencies that have had full access to Epstein’s materials for years. If any connection between Trump and Epstein existed, it would have been exposed long ago by political operatives eager to destroy him.
Instead, after years of investigations and thousands of pages of records, there is still zero evidence tying Donald Trump to any criminal conduct. On the contrary, records show Trump assisted prosecutors in the original 2009 case against Epstein and was one of the few high-profile figures who refused to associate with him once allegations surfaced.
Critics say Stansbury’s latest claims are just another desperate attempt to revive long-debunked conspiracy theories to distract from her party’s failures. “This is what happens when Democrats have no record to run on,” one GOP strategist noted. “They invent stories about Trump to keep their base angry.”
The facts remain clear: Trump cut ties with Epstein nearly two decades ago, cooperated with investigators, and has never been accused — let alone charged — with any wrongdoing related to Epstein. Stansbury’s comments are nothing more than the latest chapter in the left’s endless obsession with manufacturing scandals where none exist.
