Trump Denies Knowledge of Epstein Recruiting Mar-a-Lago Spa Workers

President Donald Trump has repeatedly stated that he did not know why Jeffrey Epstein was taking young women, including Virginia Giuffre, from his Mar-a-Lago resort's spa, despite earlier saying Epstein "stole" employees from him. Trump emphasized that he disliked Epstein's actions and had him removed from Mar-a-Lago, though he did not specify when their falling out occurred, and his accounts have varied over time. The family of Virginia Giuffre has publicly demanded answers from Trump regarding his awareness of Epstein's criminal behavior, especially given Trump's previous comments about Epstein's preference for younger women. Trump's administration has faced criticism for not releasing all documents related to Epstein's investigation, fueling suspicions among supporters and the public. While Trump denies any personal involvement in Epstein's sex trafficking crimes, questions remain about his past associations with the disgraced financier. Epstein died by suicide in jail in 2019, and Ghislaine Maxwell is serving a prison sentence for child sex trafficking.
