If you're referring to the "three emails", so far they've got nothing. "Mentioned Trump" doesn't mean jack shit.
Their redacted victim is Giuffre, who denied any wrongdoing by Trump. It's her sworn testimony to specific questions against Epstein's ambiguous statement.
Wolff fishing for dirt doesn't prove there was any.
It's indeterminable whether "the girls" refers to some of Epstein's victims, or to Trump's employees. Obviously Trump knew about the threat to his employees if he told Epstein to bugger off, which is not to Trump's discredit.
As I've written before, if there was anything substantive to hang on Trump, it would've come out years ago. This vague hand-waving is the best they've managed in all that time.
I too hope for thorough release, but I can guess the Democrats are going to continue their efforts to mislead (eg. redacting a name not redacted in the original documents, for fucks' sakes) because I suppose a lot of other important people are going to end up looking a lot worse than Trump. So I can also guess the Democrats will only release a carefully shaped part of the story, suitable for consumption by people who have outsourced their thinking to Congressional Democrats.

She’s doing exactly what her job is: to lie like a rug and gaslight.

I am not.
I am talking about the 20,000 released by the GOP members of the committee shortly after those, which many paint a much different picture. Not sure why they released these (accident? attempt to oust?) because they don't help Trump at all. It's becoming clearer why they don't want to release the files.

They released them because they know they contain nothing that's going to excite anyone not fixated on finding reasons to despise Trump. CBC is not Trump-friendly; here's what was put up there: Trump is named 1,500 times in the Epstein document dump. Here's why that number doesn't matter.
Trump is a target-rich environment. Not every attempted line of attack is going to bear fruit. Common sense suggests and empirical observation shows that pretty much everything that can be used against Trump will be leaked as soon as possible. Again: with Trump, absence of evidence really is evidence of absence.

I mean if you want to consider Trump being named as knowing what was going on as not big deal that's on you. From my perspective it sure looks like he knew about the institutionalized pedo ring. Coming from the sicko that said he'd sleep with with own daughter, its not shocking to see how deep his degeneracy runs.

There's a big difference between claiming Trump knew what went on at Epstein's private island resort and claiming Trump knew what Epstein was doing at Mar-a-Lago, but accept for the sake of argument that Trump knew at least some of what Epstein might do with girls he approached at the latter.
Trump took action at Mar-a-Lago, and - importantly - had essentially quit his 1990s period of mixing with Epstein decades ago.
What did everyone else who reasonably knew about it, do about it? Are they essentially still welcome in social and political circles? If they are, that's where the normalized standard of behaviour sits. There isn't one standard for Trump and one for everyone else. Trump isn't the sole bad guy for not blowing a whistle. Who in the Biden administration knew - with it being a matter of ordinary news reporting - that some of the kids coming across the border were being trafficked for sex and did nothing about it? These accusations are easy to make.
Thousands of documents have been dumped, and the Democrats picked three that don't amount to much. A prudent assumption is that they picked the most incendiary they could find. Fizzle.
I suppose you have in mind this joke: "If Ivanka weren't my daughter, perhaps I'd be dating her."
