In reply to the discussion: Jeffrey Epstein: how US media - with one star exception - whitewashed the story [View all]Wiz Imp
(6,475 posts)30. To be clear, Giuffre never accused Trump of any inappropriate conduct toward her.
However, she effectively said Trump would have to have known what Epstein was doing.
https://www.washingtonpost.com/politics/2025/07/17/trump-epstein-relationship-records/
In a 2016 deposition of Giuffre that was released, she was asked about Trump. Giuffre said she had been recruited by Maxwell when she was a 17-year-old spa attendant at Mar-a-Lago.
I dont think Donald Trump participated in anything, she said. That would have to be another assumption. I never saw or witnessed Donald Trump participate in those acts, but was he in the house of Jeffrey Epstein.
She said that anyone who visited Epsteins house would have seen his many nude photos of women displayed on the walls. These are salacious acts of girls, young girls doing things to each other that would be considered child pornography, Giuffre testified. If you walked foot into Jeffrey Epsteins house and you went in there and you continued to be an acquaintance of his then you would have to know what was going on there.
Meanwhile, Johanna Sjoberg, one of Epsteins other alleged victims, was quoted as saying Epsteins plane made an unplanned stop in Atlantic City between 2001 and 2006. There is no indication they saw Trump, and she said she never gave Trump a massage.

OP
After Trump, Bill Barr might have been the happiest to see Epstein carted to the morgue.

Outstanding Journalist -- and she worked as a singleton, alone on a story fraught with danger from ALL sides.

Only a few new details, we knew most of this in 2016, right? Why does nothing ever bring him down?
