Donald Trump’s Mar-a-Lago spa regularly sent teenage workers to Jeffrey Epstein’s Palm Beach mansion for “house calls”—despite staff knowing the convicted pedophile sometimes exposed himself during appointments, according to a bombshell Wall Street Journal investigation.
The practice allegedly continued until 2003, when an 18-year-old employee complained that Epstein “pressured her for sex.” Word reached Trump, who reportedly told his manager to ban Epstein from the club. No one reported it to police.
But here’s the thing: Trump’s own version of events keeps changing.
In July, he claimed he kicked Epstein out for “stealing” spa workers—framing it as a staffing problem, not a predator problem. “People would come and complain, ‘This guy is taking people from the spa,'” Trump told reporters on Air Force One. No mention of sexual pressure. No mention of exposed genitals. Just… poaching employees.
The White House is calling the WSJ report “fallacies and innuendo,” with Press Secretary Karoline Leavitt insisting Trump “did nothing wrong” and only banned Epstein “for being a creep.”
She’s touting the DOJ’s ongoing review of “more than a million” newly discovered Epstein documents as proof of Trump’s commitment to transparency.
The same DOJ, mind you, that says releasing those files “may take a few more weeks” despite the president’s supposed directive to expedite them.
Trump’s relationship with Epstein has always been a black hole of convenient amnesia. He’s claimed they were friends, then barely knew each other, then had a falling out over real estate, and now over spa workers.
What remains consistent: Trump kept sending teenage girls to a mansion where a known sexual predator operated—until someone finally complained loudly enough. The fact that his current Justice Department controls the evidence makes this less a transparent reckoning and more a controlled burn.
BOTTOM LINE: The most powerful man in the world ran a luxury club that funneled young women to a pedophile’s private residence. Whether he knew the full extent or just turned a blind eye to “creepy” behavior doesn’t matter—he facilitated it. And now he controls the investigation.
