00:30The following year, they attend a café opening together, and a month after that, Trump invites Epstein to his wedding.
00:40In 1995, a young woman called Maria Farmer is working for Epstein in Manhattan.
00:46Late one night, she says, Epstein unexpectedly calls her to his offices, and she arrives in running shorts.
00:52Donald Trump then turns up, wearing a business suit, and starts to hover over her.
00:56Ms. Farmer feels scared as Trump stares at her bare legs.
01:00Then Epstein enters the room, and she recalls him saying to Trump, no, no, she's not here for you.
01:05The two men then leave the room, and Ms. Farmer says she heard Trump commenting that he thought Ms. Farmer was 16 years old.
01:12She says she later reported the incident to the authorities.
01:14Trump denies he was ever in Epstein's office.
01:171993 to 1997, Trump takes at least eight flights on Epstein's private jet, according to flight logs released by the U.S. Department of Justice.
01:26The plane is later dubbed the Lolita Express, a reference to the character in the Novikov novel by the same name, a 12-year-old child who is sexually abused by an older man.
01:381997, Trump and Epstein are seen together at two Victoria's Secret parties and are photographed together at Mar-a-Lago.
01:46The same year, Trump gifts a book to Epstein with the dedication, to Jeff, you are the greatest, Donald.
01:532000, a 16-year-old girl, Virginia Giuffre, is working in the spa at Trump's Mar-a-Lago resort.
02:01There, she is recruited by Epstein's accomplice, Ghislaine Maxwell, to work as a personal masseuse for Epstein.
02:07The teenager will soon become, in her words, a teen sex slave and will endure years of sexual abuse.
02:15I was recruited at a very young age from Mar-a-Lago and entrapped in a world that I didn't understand.
02:22Twenty-five years later, Trump will acknowledge he was aware that young women were being recruited from Mar-a-Lago by Epstein.
02:30Are some of them young women?
02:31Well, I don't want to say, but everyone knows the people that were taken.
02:37And it was the concept of taking people that work for me is bad.
02:43But that story's been pretty well out there.
02:46And the answer is yes, they were.
02:48Trump is then asked if one of them was Virginia Giuffre.
02:51I think she worked at the spa.
02:54I think so.
02:55I think that was one of the people.
02:57He stole her.
02:59Two years later, after Giuffre was recruited from his club by Epstein and Maxwell, Trump tells New York Magazine he thinks that Epstein is a, quote, terrific guy and that they have known each other for 15 years.
03:11He's a lot of fun to be with, Trump says.
03:13It is even said that he likes beautiful women as much as I do.
03:17And many of them are on the younger side.
03:192003, Trump draws a message in a book made for Epstein's 50th birthday.
03:25The drawing depicts a woman's breasts and is accompanied by text written by Trump to Epstein that includes the line, quote, we have certain things in common, Jeffrey, end quote.
03:34Trump signs off by saying, quote, happy birthday and may every day be another wonderful secret.
03:42A Donald signature is written in the place of pubic hair.
03:4622 years later, Trump will begin legal action against the Wall Street Journal over their reporting of the drawing, claiming it doesn't exist.
03:52Epstein's estate then releases the drawing to Congress.
03:56Another entry in the birthday book contains a photo of Epstein holding a novelty check bearing Donald Trump's signature, along with a note suggesting Epstein, quote, unquote, sold Trump a woman for $22,500.
04:10It's unclear if the photo and accompanying note is a joke or not.
04:152004, the two men fall out and their close relationship ends.
04:19The reason for their estrangement?
04:21They both tried to buy the same Palm Beach mansion.
04:242005, police in Palm Beach begin investigating Epstein after a 14-year-old child reports he molested her at his mansion.
04:332008, Epstein pleads guilty to state charges in Florida, including procuring a child for prostitution and solicitation of prostitution.
04:42The sweetheart plea deal, agreed by U.S. Attorney Alex Acosta, includes a non-prosecution agreement giving Epstein immunity from possible federal charges.
04:51He is sentenced to just 18 months in jail.
04:54Under the plea deal, Epstein is allowed to be out of jail from 8 a.m. to 8 p.m. six days a week and has his own driver to take him to and from his office.
05:052010, in a legal deposition, Epstein is asked about his relationship with Donald Trump.
05:11Have you ever had a personal relationship with Donald Trump?
05:14What do you mean by personal relationships?
05:16Have you socialized with him?
05:19Yes, sir.
05:20Yes?
05:20Yes, sir.
05:21Have you ever socialized with Donald Trump in the presence of females under the age of 18?
05:34Though I'd like to answer that question, at least today, I'm going to have to assert my 5th, 6th and 14th Amendment right, sir.
05:42By the way, this was around about the time that Prince Andrew was photographed walking with Epstein in Central Park.
05:482016, according to award-winning CBS News producer Ira Rosen, Maxwell confirms to him that Epstein secretly taped his famous friends, including Trump and Bill Clinton.
06:00February 2017, Donald Trump, now President of the United States, nominates Alex Acosta, the man behind Epstein's sweetheart plea deal, to be his Secretary of Labor.
06:12August 2017, Epstein conducts a series of taped interviews with the journalist Michael Wolff, research for a potential book Wolff hopes to write.
06:22In the interviews, Epstein claims Trump first slept with Melania on the Lolita Express, and also says he was Trump's closest friend for a decade.
06:31So, how do you know this?
06:34Donald's closest friend.
06:36July 2019, Epstein is arrested in New York on federal sex trafficking charges.
06:42The truth about his decades-long history of child abuse is finally being widely reported.
06:48A month later, he is found dead in his jail cell.
06:51The authorities declare his death a suicide.
06:542020, Maxwell is charged with federal crimes for helping recruit underage girls for Epstein and participating in the abuse herself.
07:03Trump is asked about the charges and replies...
07:06I just wish her well, frankly.
07:08I've met her numerous times over the years, especially since I lived in Palm Beach, and I guess they lived in Palm Beach.
07:14But I wish her well.
07:152024, asked about whether he would release the so-called Epstein files, information about Epstein's crimes, and potentially his famous accomplices, Trump seems unsure.
07:27Would you declassify the 9-11 files?
07:29Yeah.
07:30Would you declassify JFK files?
07:32Yeah.
07:33I did.
07:33I did a lot of it.
07:34Would you declassify the Epstein files?
07:37Yeah.
07:38Yeah, I would.
07:38All right.
07:39I guess I would.
07:40I think that's less so, because, you know, you don't know, you don't want to affect people's lives if it's phony stuff in there, because there's a lot of phony stuff with that whole world.
07:482025, Trump is now president again, and his administration blocks release of the Epstein files.
07:55It is soon revealed that his attorney general, Pam Bondi, told Trump in May that his name is in the files before authorizing the release of a handful of transcripts only.
08:05Trump's one-time personal lawyer, now Deputy Attorney General Todd Blanche, then meets Ghislaine Maxwell in prison for nine hours.
08:13Amid speculation of a quid pro quo to protect Trump, days later, Maxwell is moved to a low-security prison, famous for its comfortable conditions, and known as Club Fed.
08:25This is what we know.
08:26The president of the United States was a longtime close friend of America's most notorious child sex trafficker.
08:33He's alleged to be mentioned numerous times in the files arising from the investigation into that child sex trafficker.
08:40And now he is back in office.
08:42The U.S. federal government appears to be doing all it can to prevent the American public from learning fully about the president's relationship with the country's most notorious child sex trafficker.
08:52Now that president, Donald Trump, is sleeping here in Windsor Castle.
09:03The U.S. federal government seems to be doing all this in the past.
09:07His office is sleeping here in一аны in hisíde, who is being dedicated to life boys and men in their stories.
09:11As he Plaza Tasman has been crowned for rookies by all-rich Alison Jesus.
09:16And I'm Stuart Tosh who will be stretched out in hisíde and opened his own hands man in his hall copies, dam353 for him DReds from England.
