Virginia Giuffre, who was sexually abused by Epstein, said British socialite Ghislaine Maxwell recruited her as a teenager to be exploited by Epstein when she worked at Mar-a-Lago.

    So when I said earlier that Trump recruited young girls for Epstein’s sex trafficking ring, I was just kind of pulling it out of my ass, but statements like this where Trump is trying to get out ahead of reporting that Epstein’s victims had prior ties to him suggests that it may actually have been the case.

      He’s not actually saying that though, that’s CNBCs spin on it.

      The quote is:

      “He hired help, and I said, ‘Don’t ever do that again.’ He stole people that work for me. I said, ‘Don’t ever do that again.’ He did it again,” Trump said.

      Epstein then became “persona non grata,” Trump said.

      “I threw him out, and that was it. I’m glad I did, if you want to know the truth,” he said.

        I get that is what he is saying, but there’s no reason to bring it up except to poison the well.

    It’s pretty telling that he’s not saying the reason is because he found out about the raping of young girls, just that he lost a few employees.
