(CNN) — The federal government shutdown provided President Donald Trump a weekslong reprieve from major revelations about his relationship with Jeffrey Epstein .

But as Congress looks to reopen the government this week, it’s clear Trump’s Epstein problem hasn’t gone away.

The big news Wednesday is that House Oversight Committee Democrats have released at least three emails obtained from Epstein’s estate that mention Trump . Those emails come amid another huge release of Epstein documents that CNN is reviewing .

In one 2011 email, Epstein describes Trump as the “dog that hasn’t barked.” He writes that someone who Democrats identify as an Epstein victim (but whose name is redacted in the released email) “spent hours at my house with him,” apparently referring to Trump.
