Donald Trump.
Trump they say never really liked the guy, and he did ban him from Maralago, eventually. That's what Trump says, but what are the real links between Trump and Epstein if any?
Epstein's black book contained the names and numbers of over 1000 people, many of whom are high level celebrities. It included 12 contact numbers for Donald Trump and 3 for Melania.
In 1992, A Calendar Girl contest" was held at Maralago, featuring 2 dozen or so women flown in to provide entertainment. The exclusive party was organized at Mr. Trump’s request by George Houraney. The only guests at the event were Donald Trump and Jeffrey Epstein.
“I arranged to have some contestants fly in,... At the very first party, I said, ‘Who’s coming tonight? I have 28 girls coming.’ It was him and Epstein.”
“I said, ‘Look, Donald, I know Jeff really well, I can’t have him going after younger girls ... He said, ‘Look I’m putting my name on this. I wouldn’t put my name on it and have a scandal.’”
“ [I] pretty much had to ban Jeff from my events — Trump didn’t care about that.”
