US EditionTrump bashed Epstein to Palm Beach police during first investigation, called Maxwell ‘evil,’ record shows
Former Palm Beach police chief said Trump warned him about Epstein's misconduct and urged focusing on Maxwell, calling her "evil," in a 2006 call revealed in DOJ files.
- The FBI's October 2019 302 shows that President Donald Trump called Palm Beach police in July 2006, according to a DOJ document release.
- Thanking officers for `stopping` Epstein, Trump urged law enforcement to `focus on her`, Ghislaine Maxwell, according to FBI documents.
- Calling Maxwell `she is evil and to focus on her,` Trump said he `got the hell out of there` when teenagers were present and told police he had thrown Epstein out of Mar-a-Lago club in Palm Beach.
- The DOJ and FBI say they are not aware of corroborating evidence that the President contacted law enforcement 20 years ago, even as oversight scrutiny and subpoenas increase.
- The account contrasts with Trump's prior public statements, as his 2006 remarks about Epstein conflict with his July 2019 denial of knowing about Epstein's crimes, amid over 5,300 flagged files.
