Donald Trump Says He “Never Had the Privilege” of Visiting Jeffrey Epstein’s Infamous Island
Donald Trump says he “never had the privilege” of visiting Jeffrey Epstein’s island, reigniting speculation over his past ties to the disgraced financier.
In a recent interview, former President Donald Trump distanced himself once again from the late financier and convicted sex offender Jeffrey Epstein. When questioned about rumors linking him to Epstein’s private island, Trump firmly stated, “I never had the privilege of going there.”
The phrasing particularly the use of the word privilege raised eyebrows online, with critics calling it a curious choice of words. Supporters, however, pointed to Trump’s repeated claims that he cut ties with Epstein years before his legal downfall.
Trump’s comments have resurfaced long-standing public interest in the high-profile figures connected to Epstein. While flight logs and social ties have placed numerous celebrities and political figures in Epstein’s orbit, Trump has consistently denied any deeper involvement beyond early social acquaintanceship.
The statement adds another layer to the ongoing scrutiny surrounding those who once mingled in Epstein’s elite circles.
