Donald Trump called the police chief of Palm Beach, Florida, in 2006 to thank him for investigating Jeffrey Epstein and urged him to “focus on” Ghislaine Maxwell, describing her as “evil,” according to a newly released FBI document summarizing a 2019 interview with the former chief.
The FBI summary describes an October 2019 interview with Michael Reiter, Palm Beach’s police chief from 2001 to 2009, in which Reiter told agents Trump was “one of the very first people to call” once it became known authorities were investigating Epstein for sex with underage girls, including some as young as 14.
“Thank goodness you’re stopping him, everyone has known he’s been doing this,” Trump was quoted as telling Reiter, according to the FBI account.
The summary also recounts Trump saying he “got the hell out of there” on an occasion when he was around Epstein while teenagers were present, and that he “threw” Epstein out of Mar-a-Lago, adding that “people in New York knew Epstein was disgusting.”
Trump also referred to Maxwell as “Epstein’s operative,” telling Reiter “she is evil and to focus on her,” the FBI summary said.
The summary, first reported by the Miami Herald, added that Trump told Reiter he “threw” Epstein out of Mar-a-Lago and that “people in New York knew Epstein was disgusting.”
