Donald Trump & Jeffrey Epstein were “very close” according to Trump’s lesbian niece

Donald Trump was “very close” with child sex offender and financier Jeffrey Epstein, according to Mary Trump, a clinical psychologist and the niece of the former president.

Court documents from the case against Epstein were released this week, and several well-known people – including Donald Trump – were mentioned in them. Epstein sexually abused underage girls and was accused before his death of running a massive sex-trafficking ring where he would procure underage girls to be abused by older men, leading to speculation about the nature of Donald Trump’s association with Epstein.

The renowned ally and lawyer was named in recently unsealed documents connected to child sex trafficker Jeffrey Epstein.

In the court documents, Epstein is quoted saying that he wanted to invite Donald Trump to a casino, well before Donald Trump ran for president. In another document, one witness said that she never had sex with Donald Trump. Other documents listed Donald Trump as a passenger on Epstein’s private plane. Donald Trump was not directly accused of sexually abusing children in any of the documents released so far.

“Donald was very close to Epstein in the 90s,” Mary Trump wrote on her Substack. “When New York Magazine asked Donald about Epstein for a piece called ‘International Moneyman of Mystery,’ my uncle said, ‘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.'”

Mary Trump then listed her uncle’s connections to Epstein, including the seven times he flew on Epstein’s plane, which, she said, people called the “Lolita Express,” a reference to the 1955 Vladimir Nabokov novel about an adult man’s sexual relationship with a 12-year-old girl.

Mary Trump also noted that Epstein’s associate Ghislaine Maxwell – who was convicted of child sex trafficking and other charges in connection to Epstein’s sex trafficking ring in 2021 – was introduced to Donald Trump at Mar-a-Lago and “soon, she became part of Donald’s teen pageant.”

She also brought up the lawsuit against Donald Trump from a woman who claimed that she was sexually abused by Donald Trump and Epstein in the 90s when she was just 13 years old. She dropped the lawsuit just before the 2016 election, and her lawyer cited “numerous threats” made against the alleged victim and her “terrible fear” that a Trump supporter would follow through on a threat.

“It takes a toll on me to call out my own family’s despicable, anti-American, and potentially criminal activity,” Mary Trump wrote. “But I cannot stand by and watch Donald get away with it.”

Epstein died in prison in 2019. His death was ruled a suicide, but his lawyers dispute the ruling and there have been many conspiracy theories around his death.
