One of Epstein’s youngest known victims says she was introduced to Donald Trump in 1994 with a very odd comment:
Last January, a California woman identified as Jane Doe filed a lawsuit against Epstein’s estate and British heiress Ghislaine Maxwell, who is facing federal charges for allegedly recruiting girls into the financier’s trafficking ring.
The complaint accuses Epstein and Maxwell of grooming and sexually abusing Doe for years, starting when she was 13 years old. The former couple met Doe in 1994 at the Interlochen Arts Camp in Michigan. (The Daily Beast previously revealed Epstein was a donor to the prestigious school and stayed at a cabin he funded on the property.)
Doe also claims Epstein introduced her to Donald Trump at Mar-A-Lago when she was only 14 years old.
“This is a good one, right?” Epstein asked the future president, who allegedly smiled and nodded before sharing a chuckle with the depraved hedge funder.
That’s a weird thing to say. It’s almost like he was getting Trump’s approval, which he apparently got.
This woman doesn’t accuse Trump of any misconduct. But it seems that he didn’t find anything wrong with Epstein showing off very young teenagers and asking for his approval.
Trump’s inappropriate well-wishes for Epstein’s procurer and participant Ghislaine Maxwell the other day are another reminder of just how involved he was with this whole scene.
Recall this:
“I’ve known Jeff for fifteen years. Terrific guy,” Trump told New York Magazine that year for a story headlined “Jeffrey Epstein: International Moneyman of Mystery.” “He’s a lot of fun to be with. It is even said that he likes beautiful women as much as I do, and many of them are on the younger side. No doubt about it — Jeffrey enjoys his social life.”
He knew. He didn’t have a problem with it. But why would he? Clearly, inappropriate behavior with young girls is right in his wheelhouse:
And this:
Four women who competed in the 1997 Miss Teen USA beauty pageant said Donald Trump walked into the dressing room while contestants — some as young as 15 — were changing.
“I remember putting on my dress really quick because I was like, ‘Oh my god, there’s a man in here,’ ” said Mariah Billado, the former Miss Vermont Teen USA.
Trump, she recalled, said something like, “Don’t worry, ladies, I’ve seen it all before.”
Three other women, who asked to remain anonymous for fear of getting engulfed in a media firestorm, also remembered Trump entering the dressing room while girls were changing. Two of them said the girls rushed to cover their bodies, with one calling it “shocking” and “creepy.” The third said she was clothed and introduced herself to Trump.
The story also reported:
Of the 11 (contestants) who said they don’t remember Trump coming into the changing room, some said it was possible that it happened while they weren’t in the room or that they didn’t notice. But most were dubious or dismissed the possibility out of hand.
But there was also this:
Billado said she told Ivanka Trump (Trump’s daughter), about Donald Trump entering the room while the girls were changing their clothes. Billado remembers Ivanka answering, “Yeah, he does that.”
Trump has admitted to walking in on his beauty pageant contestants. This was to Howard Stern:
Well, I’ll tell you the funniest is that I’ll go backstage before a show, and everyone’s getting dressed and ready and everything else, and you know, no men are anywhere. And I’m allowed to go in because I’m the owner of the pageant and therefore I’m inspecting it. You know, I’m inspecting, I want to make sure that everything is good.
You know, the dresses. ‘Is everyone okay?’ You know, they’re standing there with no clothes. ‘Is everybody okay?’ And you see these incredible looking women, and so, I sort of get away with things like that. But no, I’ve been very good.
This is a man who sexualized girls and young women, including his daughter. It’s unknown if he ever had sex with underage girls but he clearly knew for many years that Epstein was obsessed with them and he thought it was funny. But then he thinks it’s prfectly normal to talk about wanting to sleep with his own daughter on telvision so…
