Convicted pedophile Jeffrey Epstein was once close friends with former President Donald Trump during his previous career as a New York real estate magnate. Now, one journalist is saying he’s seen explicit photos of Trump with young girls.On Friday, Gizmodo’s Matt Novak reported that journalist Michael Wolff — who authored the bestselling book Fire & Fury during Trump’s presidency — said on a recent podcast episode that Epstein showed him photos of Trump partying with Epstein at his Palm Beach home from several decades ago. Wolff added that he has interviewed Epstein extensively, and has approximately “100 hours” of audio from those conversations that has yet to be released.
Epstein on more than one occasion would bring out these photographs that he had of Trump. And there were about a half a dozen photographs and they were, you know, from the late 90s,” Wolff said on his podcast “Fire and Fury.”
They were Trump at Epstein’s Palm Beach house, sitting around the pool with these young girls. And the young girls are topless and in some of the pictures they’re sitting in his lap,” he continued. “I mean, and then there’s one I especially remember where there’s a stain, a telltale stain on the front of Trump’s pants and the girls are pointing at him and laughing.”
When Wolff’s guest asked him why the photos haven’t yet come to light, Wolff theorized that it’s possible a Trump ally hid them, since Epstein’s house was raided in 2019, while Trump was still in the White House.
“You know, he would go and he would take them out of the safe,” Wolff said of the late pedophile. “And then he would return them to the safe. And I would say it was likely that they would have been there when the FBI—Trump’s FBI at that point, not to put too fine a point on it—raided Epstein’s house and took the contents of the safe in 2019.”
Trump’s friendship with Epstein is well-documented, as there are multiple public photos of the two being seen together both at Epstein’s home and at Trump’s Mar-a-Lago estate. Trump has also been seen with Ghislaine Maxwell, who helped Epstein procure young girls to be sexually trafficked (Maxwell is currently serving a 20-year prison sentence). However, his brother, Mark Epstein, said Jeffrey Epstein cut Trump off as a friend sometime in the 2000s, saying that he was a “crook.”
In addition to Wolff, Epstein also reportedly sat down more than a dozen hours of interviews with Steve Bannon, who previously served as Trump’s chief White House strategist. Some of Bannon’s conversations with Epstein were reportedly about Trump, according to the Daily Mail.Epstein is presumed to have died by suicide in federal prison, though there are still questions surrounding the circumstances of his death, like his cellmate being transferred out just prior to his death, and security cameras positioned outside of his cell malfunctioning around the time he is believed to have hanged himself.
