Epstein accuser asked authorities to look into Trump twice
In a new interview, a former employee of Jeffrey Epstein said she told the FBI to look into Trump twice
A former employee of sex trafficker Jeffrey Epstein has repeatedly called on federal authorities to investigate Donald Trump, accusing him of sexual assault.
Maria Farmer first accused Epstein and Ghislaine Maxwell in 1996, telling her story to the New York Police Department and the FBI. In both cases, she urged investigators to look into Epstein’s partner, Trump. Speaking to The New York Times, Farmer recounted a disturbing encounter with the president in Epstein’s office in 1995.
Farmer said she went to Epstein’s office to take a call late one night. When she arrived, Trump harassed her. According to her account, Trump stared at her legs until Epstein told her, “No, no. She’s not here for you.” She added that she heard Trump say from the next room that he thought she was underage.
Farmer said he pressured the FBI to investigate Trump during his second hearing in 2006.
White House communications director Stephen Cheung denied the reports.
He told the Times: “The president was never in his office. In fact, the president kicked him out of his club because he was a monster.”
This article comes as Trump is trying to distance himself from Epstein. The president angered those around him when the Justice Department refused to release more information about the Epstein case. Since then, reports have revealed Trump’s closeness to the convicted sex offender.
The president has tried several strategies to cover up the story. He began by ignoring questions about Epstein before dismissing the information as a “hoax” orchestrated by Democrats. In recent days, he fired a prosecutor charged with Epstein and threatened to sue media outlets for reporting on their friendship.
