"The president repeatedly dismissed the recent outrage over the notorious sex offender's case, slamming what he has described as the "Jeffrey Epstein Hoax." But the controversy rattled members of the MAGA world and spilled over onto Capitol Hill. "It's all been a big hoax," he said in July. "It's perpetrated by the Democrats, and some stupid Republicans and foolish Republicans fall into the net, and so they try and do the Democrats' work.""
"Trump, speaking to New York Magazine for a story published Oct. 28, 2002, described Epstein as a "Terrific guy" he'd known for 15 years. "He's a lot of fun to be with. It is even said that he likes beautiful women as much as I do, and many of them are on the younger side. No doubt about it - Jeffrey enjoys his social life," he told the publication."
Trump described Jeffrey Epstein as a "Terrific guy" in 2002 and said he had known him for 15 years. He praised Epstein's social life and said Epstein liked beautiful, often younger, women. Trump and Epstein appeared together at social events in the 1990s and early 2000s, including a 1992 Mar-a-Lago party. In 2019 Trump told reporters they had a "falling out" and had not spoken in 15 years. Trump later called the matter a "Jeffrey Epstein Hoax," blaming Democrats and some Republicans. House Democrats posted pages from Epstein's released "birthday book," including an image referencing a sold "fully depreciated woman."
