Donald Trump has made it clear he doesn’t want to talk about Jeffrey Epstein but a new report has attempted to flesh out the depths of their friendship.
Donald Trump has been under ongoing pressure to shed more light on the death and the details regarding disgraced child sex offender Jeffrey Epstein.
Earlier this month, the FBI and Department of Justice said following their investigation they found no evidence that Epstein was murdered.
They also stated that he did not have a ‘client list’ that he used to blackmail individuals.
New and old conspiracy theories have remerged following this assertion with those that have been ardent supporters of Trump arguing against these findings.
Trump himself has insisted that he is tired of talking about Epstein and argued that much of the whole conversation around Epstein is a ‘hoax’ by the Democrats.
However, prior to this, Trump has previously spoken on his relationship with Epstein, previously saying that they were friends, while also making it clear he wasn’t a fan of him, prior to his arrest and prosecution.
A report from the New York Times has allegedly revealed details regarding Trump and Epstein’s friendship.
The report claimed that on one occasion, Trump hosted a party with ‘young women’ and Epstein was the only other guest.
The report read: “For nearly 15 years, the two men socialized together in Manhattan and Palm Beach, Fla., before a falling out that preceded Mr. Epstein’s first arrest.”
The party was allegedly for a so-called ‘calendar girl’ competition according to George Houraney, a Florida-based businessman who arranged the event.
Speaking to the New York Times in 2019, he said the he was surprised that Epstein was the only person on the guest list.
Recalling his conversation with Trump, he told them: “I said, ‘Donald, this is supposed to be a party with V.I.P.s. You’re telling me it’s you and Epstein?’”
Houraney’s girlfriend and business partner at the time, Jill Harth, later accused Mr. Trump of sexual misconduct on the night of the party.
In the lawsuit, Harth said that Trump took her into a bedroom and forcibly kissed and fondled her, and restrained her from leaving. She also said that a 22-year-old contestant told her that Trump later that night crawled into her bed uninvited.
Harth dropped her suit in 1997 after a related case filed by Houraney was settled by Trump. Trump has denied all the allegations against him.
Trump has also denied any allegations against him regarding impropriety or illegality in relation to his friendship with Jeffrey Epstein.
