Trump Says He Cut Ties With Epstein Over Staff Dispute and Declined Visit to His Island
UNITED STATES, JUL 29 – Trump says he ended ties with Epstein after staff poaching at Mar-a-Lago and denies ever visiting Epstein's private island, calling related allegations a politically motivated hoax.
- On July 29, 2025, President Donald Trump spoke about his past ties with Jeffrey Epstein and the reasons he cut off contact, declining to visit Epstein's island despite invitations.
- Trump explained the fallout began after Epstein repeatedly hired employees from Trump's Palm Beach spa, prompting Trump to blacklist Epstein and eject him from Mar-a-Lago.
- Trump stated he never visited Epstein's island and described turning down the invitation as “one of my very good moments,” while noting that many Palm Beach residents accepted such invitations.
- Trump said, “He stole people that worked for me,” and when Epstein did it again, he told him, “Get out of here,” while also suggesting Virginia Giuffre might have been among those recruited by Epstein.
- Lawmakers have recently subpoenaed Ghislaine Maxwell as part of ongoing investigations into Epstein’s crimes, while Trump has not dismissed the possibility of granting her a pardon, noting that although he has the authority to do so, he has yet to consider it.
