A newly uncovered FBI document reveals that during a conversation in 2006, Donald Trump allegedly informed a former Palm Beach police chief about Jeffrey Epstein's inappropriate behavior. According to the document, which is part of the recently released Epstein files, Trump supposedly expressed relief that law enforcement was investigating Epstein, stating, 'Thank goodness you're stopping him, everyone has known he's been doing this.' This statement appears to contradict Trump's earlier assertions that he had no knowledge of Epstein's criminal activities.

The context of Trump's comments is significant, given his long-standing relationship with Epstein, who was a prominent figure in social circles. The police chief who received the call, identified as Michael Reiter, confirmed the interaction but noted that the details of the call were redacted from the released document. Reiter also mentioned that Trump had been concerned about Epstein's actions, which raises questions regarding the extent of awareness among community leaders and influential figures about Epstein's behavior.

This revelation undoubtedly adds a new dimension to the ongoing discussions surrounding Trump's connections to Epstein and may have implications for Trump's public image and past denials regarding his knowledge of Epstein's crimes. It also underscores the broader issue of how individuals in positions of power were complicit or aware of Epstein's actions over the years, possibly enabling his criminal activities to go unchecked for far too long.
