‘Wondered what authorities did with my complaints in 1996’: Epstein accuser Maria Farmer recalls troubling encounter with Trump

During the incident, Farmer was called by Epstein “unexpectedly” at his office in Manhattan late at night.

Upon arriving, she could see Trump coming in a business suit, who soon started to hover over her and stare at her legs while she was wearing running shorts.

Epstein then entered and allegedly told Trump, “No, no. She’s not here for you.” Both men walked out of the room, and Farmer overheard Trump comment that he thought she was 16 years old.

“I have long wondered what law enforcement did with my complaints in 1996 and again in 2006,” Farmer told The New York Times.

She later raised the US president’s name in a 2006 FBI interview, referencing the same incident.

The White House rejected Farmer’s claims, stating that Trump was “never” at Epstein’s office and that he long ago decided to end his friendship with the “creep”.

Pam Bondi told Trump his name is in Epstein files

US Attorney General Pam Bondi informed Trump in May that his name appears in Department of Justice (DOJ) records related to the Epstein investigation, according to a Wall Street Journal report published Wednesday.

Bondi’s briefing reportedly included mention of several other high-profile figures named in the files.

While the White House initially dismissed the report as “fake news”, a senior official later clarified to Reuters that the administration was not denying that Trump’s name appeared in the documents. Much of the material, the official said, had already been included in a dossier shared with conservative influencers earlier this year.

Trump’s past association with Epstein is well-documented, including appearances on 1990s flight logs of Epstein’s private jet and entries in his contact book. Even during Maxwell’s 2021 trial, Epstein’s pilot testified that Trump flew on the plane multiple times, though Trump has denied those claims.

Despite public interest and conspiracy theories surrounding Epstein’s client list, the DOJ recently declared that no further investigation was warranted.

Trump has not been formally accused of wrongdoing in connection with Epstein.
