In a turn of events that could only happen in the world of political soap operas, President Trump made some eye-popping claims about Jeffrey Epstein and his notorious habit of hiring young women. Apparently, Epstein wasn’t just interested in socializing with the rich and famous; he was also recruiting from the esteemed Mar-a-Lago spa. Yes, you heard it right—there’s a twist with a dash of celebrity intrigue and spa treatments that would make any daytime drama blush.
President Trump, with his characteristic flair, recounted a tale of how Epstein swiped young female workers right from under his nose at Mar-a-Lago. It seems that Epstein had developed a particular fondness for the spa’s employees, which, according to Trump, wasn’t appreciated. Trump even recalls telling Epstein to knock it off after the first poaching incident. But, as history shows, lines were crossed again, prompting Trump to slam the figurative door on any further employee theft.
The conversation then took an unexpected turn towards Virginia Giuffre, who later became widely known for her allegations against powerhouse figures like Bill Clinton and Prince Andrew. Trump, in his usual no-nonsense fashion, pointed out that if Giuffre had any dirt on him, she surely would have aired it during her crusade for justice. But the only chatter from her seemed focused on others, leaving Trump unscathed in her narrative.
Interestingly, while Trump responded to Epstein hiring staff from his resort, there is no substantiated claim that he cooperated with prosecutors in 2009 or played a major role in the investigation against Epstein. The narrative that others “ducked and dodged” is not supported by the sources at hand. Therefore, the portrayal of Trump as a hero in the Epstein saga is not corroborated by the facts, though he did prevent further poaching of his staff.
Whether this adds new chapters to the endless volumes of political intrigue remains to be seen, but for now, it’s President Trump who gets the last laugh, standing tall amidst the Mar-a-Lago shores.
