FROM HIS BOOK DISLOYAL…'In some ways, I knew Trump better than even his
family did because I bore witness to the real man, in strip clubs, shady
business meetings, and in the unguarded moments when he revealed who he really
was: a cheat, a liar, a fraud, a bully, a racist, a predator, a con man,' he
revealed. 'I stiffed contractors on his behalf, ripped off his business
partners, lied to his wife Melania to hide his sexual infidelities, and bullied
and screamed at anyone who threatened Trump's path to power,' Michael Cohen admitted.
A victim of accused
child trafficker Jeffrey
Epstein has claimed the financier brought her to Mar-a-Lago to
show her off to Donald Trump when she was just 14 years
old, according to a new lawsuit.
Last January, a California woman, who goes by the name Jane Doe,
filed a lawsuit against Epstein’s estate and Ghislaine Maxwell, The Daily Beast first reported.
The lawsuit detailed the long-term abuse the woman allegedly
experienced from Epstein and Maxwell, who currently is in federal prison on
charges relating to assisting the financier in the grooming and sex trafficking
of young girls.
Part of the lawsuit detailed a time in 1995 when Epstein brought
her to Mar-a-Lago – Mr Trump’s Florida resort he purchased a decade prior.
“Doe also claims Epstein introduced her to Donald Trump at
Mar-A-Lago when she was only 14 years old,” The Daily Beast reported. “’This is a good
one, right?’ Epstein asked the future president, who allegedly smiled and
nodded before sharing a chuckle with the depraved hedge funder.”
This lawsuit does not accuse the sitting president of any sexual
misconduct with the victim, but it does raise the question of how much Mr Trump
knew prior to Epstein’s arrest.
In 2002, Mr Trump gave an interview with New York Magazine where he
praised the financier and his relationship with him.
“I’ve known Jeff for 15 years. Terrific guy,” he said. “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.”
But the pair appeared to have a falling out in years following.
A new book entitled The
Grifter’s Club, which gave an inside look into Mar-a-Lago, claimed
that Mr Trump banned Epstein from the Florida resort in 2007 after the
financier hit on a member’s daughter.
Sarah Blaskey, a Miami
Herald investigative reporter who told the book, told her publication that a Mar-a-Lago
member claimed Mr Trump “kicked Epstein out after Epstein harassed the daughter
of a member.”
She added: “The way this person described it, such an act could
irreparably harm the Trump brand, leaving Donald no choice but to remove
Epstein.”
The book included details into the member ledger kept by
Mar-a-Lago, which showed Epstein’s membership was terminated in 2007, one year
prior to him pleading guilty to one count of solicitation of prostitution and
one count of solicitation of prostitution with a minor under the age of 18.
Following his conviction, Epstein was required to register as a convicted sex
offender in Florida.
Last year, a Trump Organisation official denied Epstein was ever
a member of the Mar-a-Lago, but the recent book has claimed otherwise.
Mr Trump distanced himself from the financier, starting after
Epstein was arrested in July 2019 on charges relating to sex trafficking.
“I’m not a fan of his,” Mr Trump said last year, adding he had
not seen Epstein for at least a year and a half.
One month after Epstein’s arrest, the man died in his Manhattan
federal prison cell while awaiting trial to address the charges against
himself. The coroner’s office ruled his death was a suicide.
Maxwell, who was also named on the recent lawsuit, was arrested
last month in connection with Epstein’s sex trafficking crimes. She is expected
to remain in the Metropolitan Detention Center (MDC) in Brooklyn, New York,
until her trial in July 2021.
