Trump Claims Epstein 'Stole' Young Women from Mar-a-Lago Staff

Trump's Accusations Against Jeffrey Epstein

United States President Donald Trump has recently made claims about his decision to end his relationship with disgraced financier and convicted sex abuser Jeffrey Epstein. According to Trump, he severed ties with Epstein because the financier "stole" young female workers from Trump’s Mar-a-Lago resort. This statement was made while speaking to reporters on his way home from a trip to Scotland.

Trump specifically mentioned Virginia Giuffre, one of Epstein’s most well-known accusers, as being taken from the spa at Mar-a-Lago. He described how Epstein allegedly took employees from the resort and hired them for his own purposes. “People were taken out of the [Mar-a-Lago] spa, hired by him. In other words, gone,” Trump said. He added that when he learned of this, he confronted Epstein, telling him, “We don’t want you taking our people.”

The president then recounted how Epstein repeated the behavior, prompting Trump to tell him, “Out of here.” This revelation comes as Trump faces increasing scrutiny over his administration’s refusal to release government records related to Epstein’s alleged abuses.

The Controversy Over Government Records

Several officials, including Attorney General Pam Bondi, have stated that releasing more documents could risk spreading victim information and child pornography collected as evidence. However, these comments have only intensified the controversy surrounding the case.

In a February interview with Fox News, Bondi claimed that Epstein’s client list was “sitting on my desk right now.” This statement has fueled speculation among conspiracy theorists, who have long believed that Epstein maintained a list or book of contacts to manipulate powerful figures in arts and politics.

Some of these theories have been amplified by current members of Trump’s administration, including FBI director Kash Patel and his deputy, Dan Bongino. They have previously discussed these ideas in media appearances. However, the Department of Justice and FBI later released a review stating there was no evidence of such a list existing and confirming that Epstein died by suicide, as initially concluded by the government.

Despite this, some factions within Trump’s far-right base remain frustrated, continuing to question Epstein’s connections with influential individuals and the circumstances of his death.

Virginia Giuffre’s Allegations

Virginia Giuffre has been a central figure in online conspiracy theories. She accused Epstein of pressuring her to engage in sexual acts with powerful men in his circle. Before her death by suicide earlier this year, Giuffre claimed she had been approached as a teenager by Ghislaine Maxwell, Epstein’s former girlfriend, while working at Mar-a-Lago.

At the time, Giuffre was employed as a spa attendant, and her father worked in maintenance at the resort. According to her account, Maxwell offered her money to work as a masseuse for Epstein, who then sexually abused her. Giuffre described how Maxwell and Epstein allegedly groomed her to perform sex acts for other men. She also claimed that “massage” was sometimes used as a code word for sex.

Giuffre eventually filed a civil lawsuit against Maxwell in New York. While Maxwell denied the allegations, she settled the case for an undisclosed amount. Maxwell is currently serving a 20-year prison sentence in a Florida federal prison for conspiring with Epstein to sexually abuse underage girls.
