Trump's Statements on Epstein

  • 2002: In an interview with New York magazine, Trump described Epstein as a "terrific guy," noting, "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." x.com+2en.wikipedia.org+2en.wikipedia.org+22019: After Epstein's arrest on federal sex-trafficking charges, Trump told reporters, "I knew him like everybody in Palm Beach knew him. I had a falling out with him. I haven't spoken to him in 15 years. I was not a fan of his, that I can tell you." washingtonpost.com+2nymag.com+2en.wikipedia.org+2

Nature of Their Relationshi

Trump and Epstein were known to have socialized in the 1990s and early 2000s, attending parties and events together in New York and Palm Beach. Their friendship reportedly ended in the mid-2000s, possibly due to a dispute over a Palm Beach property. nymag.com+1washingtonpost.com+1

Allegations and Legal Actions

In 2016, a woman using the pseudonym "Katie Johnson" filed a lawsuit alleging that Trump and Epstein sexually assaulted her when she was 13 years old in 1994. The lawsuit was withdrawn later that year, and Trump has denied the allegations. en.wikipedia.org+1en.wikipedia.org+1

Additionally, former model Stacey Williams accused Trump of groping her in the early 1990s during an encounter facilitated by Epstein. Trump's campaign has dismissed the accusation as politically motivated. newsweek.com+5en.wikipedia.org+5vanityfair.com+5vanityfair.com

Recent Developments

In June 2025, journalist Michael Wolff released audio recordings of Epstein from 2017, in which Epstein claimed to have been Trump's "closest friend" for a decade and alleged intimate knowledge of Trump's personal life. The Trump campaign has rejected these claims, labeling them as false and politically motivated. en.wikipedia.org+6vox.com+6theguardian.com+6

Furthermore, tech entrepreneur Elon Musk publicly accused Trump of being named in unreleased Epstein files, suggesting that this is why the documents have not been fully disclosed. Musk did not provide evidence for his claim, and Trump has not directly responded to the allegation. cbsnews.com+6thedailybeast.com+6nypost.com+6euronews.com+1thedailybeast.com+1

To date, no definitive evidence has emerged linking Trump to Epstein's criminal activities, and Trump has consistently denied any wrongdoing.
