The White House is staying firm the President had no involvement in wrongdoing, with the fresh release of emails written by deceased sex offender and child sex procurer Jeffrey Epstein.

House Oversight Committee Democrats have released a 2011 email saying Donald Trump spent hours at Epstein's house with a victim. 

Another email calls Trump 'the dog that hasn't barked'  - and say he told Epstein's associate Ghislaine Maxwell to 'stop'.

Reuters political correspondent Bo Erickson says there's a lack of context within these emails.

"It's not clear what they are really talking about, so the White House is saying this is a political stunt. But the Democrats ae moving forward on another procedural process as well."
