D. Trump complained to the police about J. Epstein in 2019
D. Trump reportedly expressed concerns about J. Epstein to the police in 2019, stating that Epstein was widely known to be despicable in New York.
In a recent disclosure, documents reveal that D. Trump reported his concerns about J. Epstein to the police in 2019, describing Epstein as a 'disgusting' individual known in New York. The conversation took place after Trump had expelled Epstein from his private club and notified local authorities of his actions. Trump's comments have reignited scrutiny over his past statements, particularly his claims of not being aware of Epstein's criminal activities, given their past interactions and shared photographs.
The dialogue reportedly took place in mid-October 2019, though the exact timing remains unclear, and Trump’s remarks indicate a stance of distancing himself from Epstein after witnessing the latter in the company of young individuals. The incident occurred several months after Epstein's arrest, which had already placed pressure on public figures associated with him. Trump's assertion that he quickly terminated their social relationship raises further questions about his knowledge of Epstein's conduct prior to the latter's 2019 death in prison.
As investigations continue, Trump's statements provoke discussions about accountability among those in positions of influence who may have turned a blind eye. His historical denials about ignorance regarding Epstein’s crimes contrast starkly with these alarming accounts, prompting critics to demand greater transparency from high-profile figures who mingled with Epstein, including questions about what Trump knew at the time of their acquaintance and whether he acted appropriately in his social relationships.
