Lawmakers in the U.S. House of Representatives reached a critical threshold in the push to release information related to the federal investigation and to Jeffrey Epstein.

At the same time, one committee has made public a set of emails and documents that raise new questions about President Trump's ties to the late sex offender.

White House correspondent Liz Landers has been reviewing those materials

and has the story. As the House returned to Washington today, Democrats on the House

oversight committee released more Epstein files that name President Trump. In one email from Epstein

Caroline Levitt said today, the redacted name is Virginia Goufrey, an Epstein survivor who died by suicide earlier this year,

but had previously said Trump was not involved in her abuse.

Epstein. Jeffrey Epstein was a member at Maralago until President Trump kicked him out because

Jeffrey Epstein was a pedophile and he was a creep. In another email exchange dated January 31st,

2019 with journalist and author Michael Wolfe, Epstein writes, quote, Trump said he asked me to resign,

never a member ever. Of course, he knew about the girls as he asked Galane to stop. President

Trump has said that he and Epstein had a falling out

after Epstein, quote, stole young women who worked for the spa at his private Mar-Lago club in Palm Beach.

PBS has reached out to attorneys for both Maxwell and Wolf and has not received a response.

In another exchange dated December 15, 2015, the day of a Republican presidential primary debate on CNN, Wolf allegedly emailed Epstein that he'd heard the network plan to ask Trump about their relationship.

Epstein asked, quote, if we were able to craft an answer for him, what do you think it should be?
