Jeffrey Epstein’s Brother May Have Exposed A Trump Lie On Their Friendship
Mark Epstein refuted an old claim the president made about his pedophile pal.
The brother of the late financier Jeffrey Epstein disputed President Donald Trump’s long-standing claim on CNN Thursday that he hadn’t spoken to him in 15 years.
Erin Burnett, host of the show “OutFront,” aired a clip from 2019 in which Trump insisted, after Epstein’s arrest on sex trafficking charges, that he “hadn’t spoken to him in 15 years or more” and that he wasn’t a big fan. This would imply that their last conversation was in 2004.
But Burnett pointed out that Mark Epstein claimed to have spoken with him in 2016. The brother explained that this was after Trump’s victory over Hillary Clinton, which propelled him to the presidency for the first time.
Mark Epstein said: “After the election, I spoke to Jeffrey regularly, and during one call… Jeffrey told me that… Trump had called him after the election, and it was incredible!” No one thought Trump was going to win. Trump himself was somewhat surprised by his victory. Jeffrey said Trump called him as if to say, “Can you believe it?”
It seems Trump wanted to share his joy and surprise—even boast about it—with Epstein, which sheds new light on the reasons and timing of their falling out.
Mark Epstein even told Burnett that he was the one who ended their relationship because he thought Trump was a fraud.
Accounts of the falling out between Trump and the deceased sex offender are numerous and contradictory, some dating back to 2007 or 2008.
Now that Trump has agreed to release previously unseen documents, the country may learn more.
The White House did not believe Mark Epstein’s claims.
Instead of amplifying unfounded allegations, the media should start asking the real questions: Why did Democrat Stacey Plasskett text Epstein in 2019, during her congressional hearings following his convictions for sexual assault, and why did she accept thousands of dollars from him? Party spokeswoman Abigail Jackson wrote to the Huffington Post: “Why did President Bill Clinton travel 26 times on Epstein’s plane? And why did one of Epstein’s victims write about seeing Clinton on Epstein’s island with two young women? These are just a few of the many questions the American people deserve answers to.”
