Donald Trump Shies Away from Epstein Talk as New Report Reveals Party Details
Donald Trump has firmly avoided discussing Jeffrey Epstein in recent days, but a fresh report is shedding new light on the nature of their relationship.
Growing Pressure for Transparency on Epstein’s Death and Scandal
As investigations continue to swirl around Epstein’s death and the scandals tied to the disgraced financier, Trump faces mounting calls to be more forthcoming. Earlier this month, the FBI and Department of Justice concluded their probe, stating there was no evidence Epstein was murdered and confirming he did not hold a ‘client list’ for blackmail purposes.
Yet, despite official findings, conspiracy theories remain rampant — especially among Trump supporters who dismiss the reports as politically motivated. Trump himself has labeled the Epstein coverage a “hoax” driven by Democrats and expressed his exhaustion over the topic.
Trump’s Past on Epstein: From Acquaintance to Distancing
Trump has previously acknowledged knowing Epstein but claimed their friendship cooled significantly after Epstein’s arrest and prosecution. He insisted he wasn’t a fan of Epstein even before the legal troubles surfaced.
New York Times Report Reveals Surprising Party Scene
The New York Times recently unveiled previously unknown details about Trump and Epstein’s social circle. According to the report, Trump once hosted a party featuring “young women” where Epstein was reportedly the only other guest.
George Houraney, a Florida businessman who organized the event—a calendar girl competition—told the Times in 2019 he was stunned to find Epstein was the sole guest besides Trump. Houraney recalled asking Trump, “Donald, this is supposed to be a party with VIPs. You’re telling me it’s you and Epstein?”
Allegations of Misconduct Surface from Party Attendees
Adding to the controversy, Houraney’s then-girlfriend and business partner Jill Harth later accused Trump of sexual misconduct during the same event. Harth alleged that Trump forcibly kissed and groped her, and prevented her from leaving. She also said a 22-year-old contestant claimed Trump crawled into her bed uninvited that night.
While Harth eventually dropped her lawsuit in 1997 after a related case by Houraney was settled out of court, Trump has consistently denied all accusations.
Trump Denies Any Wrongdoing
Despite admitting to knowing Epstein, Trump continues to deny any improper or illegal conduct linked to their relationship.
