President Donald Trump criticized the media’s selective coverage of the Jeffrey Epstein scandal, accusing reporters of overlooking prominent Democrats in the financier’s orbit, such as Bill Clinton.
Clinton allegedly visited Epstein’s notorious private island, Little St. James.
The secluded location was known by locals and authorities as “Pedophile Island” due to the number of underage girls and older man who travelled there.
Although Epstein had ties to many high-profile figures, including Clinton, recent corporate media reporting has focused almost exclusively on trying to link Trump to the disgraced Democrat financier.
It is well-known that both Trump and Clinton once had connections with Epstein.
While Trump is believed to have crossed paths with Epstein in social circles, Clinton had a long-held friendship with the sex trafficker.
However, Trump had a falling out with Epstein in 2004, well before Epstein’s first arrest for sex crimes in 2006.
While in Scotland on Monday, Trump explained that Epstein caused a rift in their relationship by stealing workers.
Trump also said he never visited Epstein’s notorious island, but Clinton traveled there “supposedly 28 times.”
“I never had the privilege of going to his island,” Trump said.
“And I did turn it down.
“But a lot of people in Palm Beach were invited to his island.
“In one of my very good moments, I turned it down.
“I didn’t want to go to his island.”
While returning to the U.S. on Tuesday, Trump clarified that the workers Epstein “stole” were employees in the Mar-A-Lago spa.
One of those workers was Epstein and Prince Andrew accuser Virginia Giuffre, who died by “suicide” this year.
In a 2016 deposition that was unsealed last year, Giuffre testified to meeting Clinton twice on Epstein’s Pedophile Island.
She said he must have known about the crimes taking place there.
However, she never observed Clinton behaving inappropriately.
“Yes, he would be a witness because he knew what my purpose there was for Jeffrey and he visited Jeffrey’s island,” Giuffre said, according to the transcript.
“There’s pictures of nude girls all around the house at all of his houses, and it’s something that Jeffrey Epstein wasn’t shy about admitting to people.”
Giuffre also said she never observed Trump do anything wrong.
“I don’t think Donald Trump participated in anything,” Giuffre said, according to the deposition.
“That would have to be another assumption.
“I never saw or witnessed Donald Trump participate in those acts,” Giuffre said.
After Epstein’s second arrest for sex trafficking in 2019, a Clinton spokesperson said the former president had no knowledge of the pedophile’s crimes.
The spokesperson insisted that his travels on Epstein’s private jet were tied to the Clinton Foundation’s work.
Clinton addressed rumors about his ties to Epstein in a memoir released last year, Citizen.
In the book, he denied traveling to Epstein’s island.
“Traveling on Epstein’s plane was not worth the years of questioning afterward,” Clinton wrote in the book.
The Wall Street Journal reported recently that Clinton wrote a warm message to Epstein on his 50th birthday, paying tribute to his “child-like curiosity.”
Trump has sued the newspaper over its separate false report that he wrote his own letter that contained a nude drawing of a woman.
His past ties to Epstein have come under intense scrutiny from the media and the Democratic Party as the White House faces backlash over its refusal to release the Epstein files.
The Justice Department officially ruled in July that a hypothetical “client list” does not exist, that Epstein died by suicide in his prison cell.
The DOJ added that no evidence exists to charge additional third parties.
The findings angered many Trump supporters who have long believed Epstein had hidden accomplices who abused underage girls.
