President Donald Trump’s relationship with convicted sex offender Jeffrey Epstein extended into his first year in the White House — including spending Thanksgiving together — according to newly released emails written by the late financier, Travis Gettys reported for Raw Story.

Democrats on the House Oversight Committee on Wednesday released a new batch of emails obtained from Epstein’s estate, followed by the Republican-led panel’s release of 20,000 additional documents.

One exchange shows Epstein claiming he spent Thanksgiving 2017 — Trump’s first as president — at the president’s Mar-a-Lago resort.

Epstein exchanged emails on Thanksgiving morning, Nov. 23, 2017, with Manhattan modeling executive Faith Kates, who asked where he was spending the holiday.

He told her he would spend the day with “Eva,” likely a reference to his former girlfriend Eva Andersson-Dubin. Kates mentions Andersson-Dubin’s husband, Glenn Dubin, by name and asks, “Who else is down there?”

Epstein listed Trump, hedge fund founder David Fiszel, and someone he referred to only as “Hanson.” White House records confirm that Trump spent Thanksgiving 2017 at Mar-a-Lago.

Andersson-Dubin later testified at the 2021 trial of Ghislaine Maxwell, who was convicted for her role as Epstein’s co-conspirator in his sex-trafficking network. Epstein died in prison in 2019 while awaiting new federal charges.
