The Epstein Files Reveal What Trump Knew

[Uncle Joe]

A newly released F.B.I. report shows that Donald Trump contacted the police about Epstein’s crimes as early as 2006. The Miami Herald reporter Julie K. Brown discusses the revelations.

You’re publishing a story that has implications for the President of the United States where the Epstein case is concerned. What does it say?

We have found a document in these files that is an interview that the police chief of Palm Beach gave to the F.B.I. And in that interview the police chief, Michael Reiter, told the F.B.I. that back when Epstein’s case had first come to the attention of the police, and Epstein was first reported as a suspect in doing this—

What’s the year?

Around 2006. Around that time period, Trump called the police chief and he said to the police chief, “Thank God you’re doing something about him, because . . .” And I’m just quoting off the top of my head. I don’t have the document in front of me, but he said, “Thank God—everybody knew this.” He also knew about [Ghislaine] Maxwell’s role [as Epstein’s associate], calling her “evil.” We have this F.B.I. report of this interview that the chief gave to the F.B.I. where he is recalling this conversation that he had with Trump many, many years ago about Epstein. So it does raise some questions about how much Trump knew—whether he knew the extent of Epstein’s crimes.

You’re making a supposition. You don’t have evidence [that he didn’t kill himself].

Well, what’s evidence? Evidence that the guards lied on their reports? That they reported that they made checks on him, and didn’t? Is it that all the cameras didn’t work? They never recovered the so-called noose—the piece of fabric that he allegedly used. They don’t even know which one it was. The fact that if he broke three bones in his neck, which takes a lot of force—this man was a very frail man at the end—even if he was to do that by tying himself to his bunk, every single item on that top bunk was undisturbed. If you’re pulling on a bunk with enough force to break three bones in your neck, wouldn’t you think that the items would have been sort of toppled? I mean, I could just go on and on. The reports are very odd.

He allegedly tried to commit suicide a couple weeks before this, but when he went in to tell them what had happened, when they found him on the floor, the first thing he said was, “My roommate did it to me. He tried to kill me,” and “He had been threatening me for weeks.” An ex-cop who was in jail for killing four people—that was the cellmate who you picked for Jeffrey Epstein? I mean, too many things don’t make any sense. Epstein said he tried to kill him, and then Epstein sort of changed his story and said, “I don’t remember.” But Epstein never said he tried to commit suicide. He only said that he thought that his cellmate had tried to kill him.
