United States President Donald Trump has expanded on remarks about his falling-out with Jeffrey Epstein years ago, saying Epstein “stole” young women, including Australian Virginia Giuffre, who worked for the spa at his Mar-a-Lago resort.
Trump previously said he had banned Epstein from his private club in Florida two decades ago because his one-time friend “stole people that worked for me”.
At the time, he did not make clear who those workers were.

Trump has faced an outcry over his administration’s refusal to release more records about Epstein after promises of transparency.

Trump expands on fallout with Epstein

Aboard Air Force One while returning from Scotland, Trump said he was upset Epstein was “taking people who worked for me”.
The women, he said, were “taken out of the spa, hired by him — in other words, gone”.
“I said, listen, we don’t want you taking our people,” Trump said.

When it happened again, Trump said he banned Epstein from Mar-a-Lago.

Asked if Virginia Giuffre, who died by suicide earlier this year, was one of the employees poached by Epstein, Trump said: “He stole her.”

Virginia Giuffre’s allegations against Epstein

Giuffre claimed convicted sex trafficker and close associate of Epstein, Ghislaine Maxwell, had spotted her working as a spa attendant at Mar-a-Lago in 2000 when she was a teenager, and hired her as Epstein’s masseuse, which led to sexual abuse.

Giuffre accused Epstein of pressuring her into having sex with powerful men.

Although Giuffre’s allegations did not become part of criminal prosecutions against Epstein, she has been central to conspiracy theories about the case.
