President tells reporters he cut off contact with Epstein because he was poaching employees from his club before amplifying that they were ‘young women’

Donald Trump said that Jeffrey Epstein took Virginia Giuffre from his Mar-a-Lago resort. Trump stated he ended his friendship with Epstein because of this. Giuffre, an Epstein survivor, died earlier this year.

Donald Trump on Tuesday lashed out against the “fake news” after a reporter questioned the president on his differing explanations for why he ended his friendship with the late disgraced financier Jeffrey Epstein. Last week, the Trump administration said the president banned Epstein from Trump’s Mar-a-Lago club because Epstein was a “creep.”
