Trump and Jeffrey Epstein: A Documented Friendship of More Than a Decade
In a New York magazine profile published October 28, 2002, Trump said he had known Epstein for fifteen years and called him a 'terrific guy' who liked women 'on the younger side.' NBC footage from November 1992 shows the two together at a party at Mar-a-Lago, and a businessman who organized a 1992 'calendar girl' event there at Trump's request says the only guests were Trump and Epstein. Trump later said he had fallen out with Epstein and barred him from his clubs. No court or official body has found wrongdoing by Trump in connection with Epstein.
