A top Democrat warned that President Donald Trump may be willing to "go to war" to try and distract the American people from new revelations contained in the Jeffrey Epstein case files.

On Wednesday, lawmakers in the House Oversight Committee released a tranche of documents that contained new details about Trump's relationship with Epstein. In one email, Trump was described as being at Epstein's house with one of his victims for multiple hours. The email does not allege that Trump committed any crimes.

Another email between Epstein and a reporter shows Epstein describing Trump as "evil" and "nuts."

Illinois Gov. JB Pritzker, a Democrat, discussed the latest revelations from Epstein's emails on a new episode of progressive YouTuber Brian Tyler Cohen's podcast Wednesday.

"I think we've all expected that evidence exists of a close relationship between Epstein and Trump, but it is certainly news that there are actual emails between different folks around Epstein about Trump and how close they really were," Pritzker said.

"So my fear with the release of this information is, and more and more of course, with the swearing in of Rep. Adelita Grijalva (D-AZ)...is that as they're able to release the rest of the Epstein files from Congress, you're going to see Trump doing everything and anything he can to distract," he continued. "And that might include going to war with Venezuela, which he's already on the verge of, apparently. Not to mention all the other mayhem that he could cause. So, I'm deeply concerned about that."
