WASHINGTON - On Tuesday, President Donald Trump claimed that Jeffrey Epstein "stole" young women who had worked at the Mar-a-Lago spa, marking the latest shift in how he explains the end of their once-close relationship.
One of the women, he acknowledged, was Virginia Giuffre, who was among Epstein’s most well-known sex trafficking accusers.
Trump's comments expanded on remarks he had made a day earlier, when he said he had banned Epstein from his private club in Florida two decades ago because his one-time friend "stole people that worked for me." At the time, he did not make clear who those workers were.
