Newly released emails show that former White House press secretary Joe Lockhart declined a request from disgraced financier Jeffrey Epstein for public relations help in 2015, as Epstein faced growing scrutiny over sex-trafficking allegations. The emails, made public by the US Justice Department and the House Oversight Committee, reveal that Epstein sought advice on how to handle mounting negative media coverage tied to court filings accusing him of running a sex-trafficking operation. Lockhart said he ultimately refused the request.
