President Donald Trump on Tuesday alleged that Jeffrey Epstein ‘stole’ Virginia Giuffre and a few other young female employees from Mar-a-Lago’s spa, resulting in their estrangement.
‘She worked at the spa,’ Trump noted of Giuffre. And he added of Epstein: ‘He stole her.’
Trump mentioned to Daily Mail on Monday that the rift with Epstein arose because the financier recruited several of his Mar-a-Lago staff. He has now provided additional details about the incident between them.
‘Everyone knows the individuals that were taken,’ he conveyed to reporters aboard Air Force One on his return from a five-day visit to Scotland. ‘People were taken out of the spa and hired by him.’
Trump continued: ‘I wasn’t aware of that. When I learned about it, I told him, I said, Listen, we don’t want you taking our staff, whether they’re part of the spa or not. I don’t want people being taken. He seemed okay with it. But not long after, he did it again. And I told him, you’re out.’
Giuffre claimed she was recruited by Ghislaine Maxwell into Epstein’s sex trafficking at 16 years old while working as a locker room attendant at Mar-a-Lago’s spa in 2000.
Before her death earlier this year, Giuffre was one of the most prominent and vocal accusers of Epstein and Maxwell.

Trump noted Giuffre had nothing bad to say about her time working for his Palm Beach Club.
‘She had no complaints about us, as you know, none whatsoever,’ he pointed out.
Trump prohibited Epstein from his Mar-a-Lago Club in 2004, but prior to that, both Epstein and Maxwell were seen partying at the Palm Beach social club, sometimes with Trump’s then-girlfriend Melania Trump.
The president has offered a variety of reasons for his disassociation with Epstein, who died in a New York prison in 2019 while awaiting trial on sex trafficking charges.
He previously said he cut off contact with Epstein because he was a ‘creep.’
Other reports say the two men fell out over an oceanfront Palm Beach property that was being sold out of bankruptcy that each man wanted.
Giuffre, who claimed she was passed around as a teenager to rich and powerful predators, died in April by suicide, according to a statement by the family.
But conspiracy theories continue to swirl around both her and Epstein’s deaths.
Trump’s MAGA loyalists have questioned if the deaths were suicide or murder in order to keep them silenced.
Additionally, the MAGA grew have long believed there is a list of rich and powerful people for whom Epstein is alleged to have trafficked young girls and it’s fueled their feverish calls for the Department of Justice to release files around the case.
The lack of new information has been a source of frustration for both them and the president, who cannot escape questions on the matter.

Questions about Epstein and queries about his relationship with the notorious financer followed Trump from the United States to his trip to Scotland.
The queries come as Maxwell met with Justice Department officials last week to discuss the case.
She is also scheduled to testify before Congress on August 11th but her lawyer asked for immunity in exchange for her testimony.
Lawmakers denied the request, however.
Maxwell is serving 20 years in prison for her involvement in Epstein’s sordid crimes. She was convicted in 2021 on five counts related to sex trafficking and conspiracy.
