According to a newly released FBI interview, former President Donald Trump indicated knowledge of criminal activities associated with billionaire Jeffrey Epstein, who is infamously linked to a sex trafficking ring involving minors. This information surfaced from a document recently made available by the Justice Department, part of over three million pages concerning Epstein's case, and was first reported by Miami Herald and Reuters.

The document details a 2019 interview with Michael Reiter, a former police chief who recounted a conversation he had with Trump in June 2006 while serving in Palm Beach, Florida. During this conversation, Trump allegedly remarked on Epstein’s activities, noting awareness of ongoing misconduct. Specifically, he stated, 'It’s good you’re stopping this, everyone knew he was doing it,' indicating that people in their social circles were already aware of Epstein’s notorious reputation.

The implications of this revelation raise questions about the complicity and awareness of high-profile individuals regarding Epstein's actions, which culminated in serious legal repercussions and his eventual suicide in custody in 2019. As discussions around accountability continue, this interview document adds another layer to the ongoing scrutiny of relationships held by public figures with controversial individuals like Epstein.
