"Epstein: hope today is fun for you. Kates: Fun!!! When are you back in NYC? Epstein: all next week Kates: Ok dylan will want to see you I always want to see you. Where are you having thanksgiving? Epstein: eva Faith Kates: That means glenn check out his red hair!!! Epstein: berries color for holiday Kates: He's such a snooze who else is down there? Epstein: david fizel. hanson. trump Kates: Have fun!!!"
"PolitiFact contacted Casten for comment but received no response. "Those emails prove literally nothing," White House spokeswoman Abigail Jackson told PolitiFact in an email. News reports, photos, videos and White House releases show Trump spent that 2017 Thanksgiving in Mar-a-Lago. PolitiFact did not find any proof he met with Epstein that day."
"There are different accounts of when Trump and Epstein had their falling out, with periods ranging from 2004 to 2007. The Miami Herald reported that Trump barred Epstein from Mar-a-Lago in October 2007, a decade before the Thanksgiving Day in question. In 2008, Epstein pled guilty to state charges of soliciting prostitution and soliciting prostitution from a minor."
President Donald Trump has publicly distanced himself from Jeffrey Epstein, saying their friendship ended more than a decade before Epstein's 2019 federal sex-trafficking arrest. Rep. Sean Casten posted emails from Epstein's estate showing a Thanksgiving Day, Nov. 23, 2017, exchange in which Epstein lists "trump" among people "down there." The White House called the emails meaningless and PolitiFact found no proof Trump met Epstein that day; records show Trump spent Thanksgiving 2017 at Mar-a-Lago. Reports vary on when Trump and Epstein fell out, with some sources saying Epstein was barred from Mar-a-Lago in October 2007. Epstein pled guilty in 2008 to state prostitution charges involving a minor.
