Trump says Epstein ‘stole’ Virginia Giuffre from him

President Donald Trump has finally spoken out about kicking Jeffrey Epstein out of his Mar-a-Lago club. He claims the late convicted predator “stole” young women from the spa — including victim Virginia Giuffre — Knewz.com can reveal. While speaking to reporters aboard Air Force One while returning from his trip to Scotland, the president was questioned about a few comments he made over the weekend about banning the late predator from his Palm Beach club.

“I don’t know. I think she worked in the spa, I think so. I think that was one of the people — yeah, he stole her. And by the way, she had no complaints about us, as you know. None whatsoever,” the president said of Giuffre, who died in April. While acknowledging that Giuffre was a former employee, Trump was asked if the other workers Epstein took from the Palm Beach, Fla., club were young women. He replied, “Yes, they were.” Said the former reality star on July 29, “People that work in the spa — I have a great spa, one of the best spas in the world at Mar-a-Lago — and people were taken out of the spa, hired by him. In other words, gone. And other people would come and complain, ‘This guy is taking people from the spa.’ I didn’t know that. … And then when I heard about it, I told him. I said, ‘Listen, we don’t want you taking our people.’ Whether it was spa or not spa, I don’t want him taking people. And he was fine, then not too long after that, he did it again, and I said, ‘[You’re] out of here.’”

The shocking revelation comes one day after Trump told reporters during his trip to Scotland that his rift with Epstein began when the financier was trying to poach Mar-a-Lago employees. However, he didn’t reveal at the time that they were young women who worked in the spa. “For years, I wouldn’t talk to Jeffrey Epstein … because he did something that was inappropriate. He hired help,” he said. “He stole people that worked for me. I said, ‘Don’t ever do that again.’ He did it again, and I threw him out of the place.” The feud reportedly erupted before Epstein’s 2006 arrest for soliciting prostitution.

The president previously spoke out about Giuffre

The president had previously spoken out about Giuffre after she was found dead at her Western Australia home in April. She was 41. Giuffre had been the most outspoken of Epstein’s victims. She told her harrowing story in the 2020 Netflix docuseries Jeffrey Epstein: Filthy Rich, as well as Lifetime’s documentary Surviving Jeffrey Epstein that same year. “That whole situation is very sad – her and others,” Trump shared, referring to Giuffre and her fellow trafficking victims. “Certainly, that’s a horrible thing. It’s horrible. It’s a horrible, horrible thing.”

The mother of three’s heartbroken family said she died when the “toll of abuse became unbearable.” In an emotional statement, they said, “Virginia was a fierce warrior in the fight against abuse and trafficking. “She was the light that lifted so many survivors. In the end, the toll of abuse is so heavy that it became unbearable for Virginia to handle its weight.”
