Trump Ratted Out Epstein to The Palm Beach Police
As Dems get all twisted about the number of times that Donald Trump is mentioned in the “Epstein Files” it seems that in at least one of those mentions he was throwing the known pedophile under the bus to the Palm Beach Police!
A former Palm Beach, Florida, police chief who investigated Jeffrey Epstein in the mid-2000s told the FBI he had received a call from Donald Trump at the time to say, “thank goodness you’re stopping him, everyone has known he’s been doing this,” according to an FBI account of an interview with the ex-police chief in 2019.
The Miami Herald was the first to report on the document.
President Trump has repeatedly denied any knowledge of Epstein’s crimes and has said that he cut off contact with his former friend more than 20 years ago.
Trump has claimed that he booted Epstein from Mar-a-Lago after discovering that he was poaching employees from the club’s spa.
According to reporting by the Herald, the FBI document recapping the interview with the local department’s former chief Michael Reiter, also shows that Trump referred to Epstein’s procurer Ghislaine Maxwell, as “evil” and that they should focus their attention on her.
When approached for comment, however, an official with the Department of Justice pushed back saying that the office was “not aware of any corroborating evidence that the President contacted law enforcement 20 years ago.”
Reiter served as the police chief in Palm Beach from 2001 to 2009. Reiter’s name was redacted from the FBI document released by the Department of Justice (DOJ) but confirmed to the Miami Herald that he was interviewed by the FBI in 2019 and that Trump called the police department regarding Epstein in July 2006, according to the paper.
According to the Herald, Reiter currently heads a security and crisis management firm called Michael Reiter and Associates.
The FBI document recapping Reiter’s reported interview with federal officials contends that Trump allegedly called Maxwell, Epstein’s longtime associate, “evil” and warned that police should “focus on her.”
“TRUMP told him people in New York knew EPSTEIN was disgusting,” the FBI document continued of the interview with the former police chief. “TRUMP said MAXWELL was EPSTEIN’s operative, ‘she is evil and to focus on her,’”
“TRUMP told (redacted) that he was around EPSTEIN once when teenagers were present and TRUMP ‘got the hell out of there.’ TRUMP was one of the very first people to call when people found out that they were investigating EPSTEIN.”
White House press secretary Karoline Leavitt did not confirm whether Trump did in fact make that phone call in 2006 when asked about it later Tuesday during a press briefing.
“A phone call that may or may not have happened in 2006, I don’t know the answer to that question,” Leavitt said. “What I’m telling you is that what President Trump has always said, is that he kicked Jeffrey Epstein out of his Mar-A-Lago club because Jeffrey Epstein was a creep. And that remains true.”
“And this call, if it did happen, corroborates exactly what President Trump has said from the beginning,” Leavitt said.
Trump long has maintained that while he did at a time brush elbows with Epstein, he “threw him out” of his Mar-a-Lago resort back in the 2000s as details of his web of sex trafficking and pedophilia circulated.
Reiter’s interview with the FBI also backed up Trump’s long-standing comments that he ended any ties to Epstein in the early 2000s.
“Mar-A-Lago is a mixture of everyone,” the FBI document reads. “DONALD TRUMP told (redacted) that he threw EPSTEIN out of his club.”
Why is Trump calling his own faithful base, stupid because we want the Epstein sage unveiled and the perps to be punished? It makes him appear to have something to hide. He needs to make this right.
I have never run with the elites so I cannot speak to their culpability in reporting actual or suspected child abuse. I know that anyone working with or around children are required by law to report any suspicions of child abuse or neglect so the authorities could investigate the report. If any school employee is aware of such activity, or even suspects this is happening, and doesn’t report it, then that employee could be in serious trouble. With that in mind, it seems that all adults who knew about Epstein’s activities (especially those who did not participate) should feel compelled to make a documented report to the authorities.
Your title “Trump Ratted Out Epstein to The Palm Beach Police” is a disgusting attempt to blame Trump from the illegal and terrible acts of Epstein when most of the important folks in the U.S. and Foreign folks were partaking of Epstein’s offered “treats”. Instead of issuing praise to a man who refused to even associate himself with Epstein (after finding out what the jerk was doing).
It is “American” to dislike a political figure; that is every American’s right! It is illegal and actionable to
falsely write or orally state an untruth, especially as blatant as done by you. I suggest you be honorable
enough to write an apology to Mr. Trump.
Respectfully,
Robert Greenstein
Judge, ret.
Did you actually read the article? This shows that Trump reported Epstein to the police before epstein was arrested the first time. It does not blame trump for anything
Joe, this is a judge who said: “It is illegal and actionable to falsely write or orally state an untruth, especially as blatant as done by you.” Not to fear Joe; you may lie with impunity, it is NOT against the law to lie in or to the press. In Maga land, you even get a raise. Slander and Libel are against the law, slander for spoken words, libel for you, the written word. Generally, the law must prove the statement was false, injurious, and made without reasonable care. The chance of punishment is low, to get monetary damages, you must prove harm and given Trump’s grifting profits since returning to the Oval, good luck with that, judge. Rest assured Joe, even if you told a grievous lie, there is no chance of proving fiscal losses to Trump. Phew — but you knew that.
That guy was really a judge?
As to the rest, Trump being a saint honoring the rule of law is a long shot given 1) he never followed up on his accusations. 2) he never pushed any of the “everyone knows” to call the police. 3) the timeline of what Trump knew, what he said is hinky and does not make sense as he changes stories and flip-flops all over the place.
It’s over: Bondi says all the Epstein files are released. Of course, Bondi lies. She lies a lot like when she had the list she did not, like when she had the binder of ill deeds and she did not, like she could release and redact the files on time. She could not. How can you tell she’s lying beyond seeing her lips move? When she releases 3 million files, the end of it, and forgets to tell anyone for how long? What, an afterthought? She thought there was more? This announcement does not even pass the sniff test for accuracy, So, this is not over yet and already the cries are heard for missing memo’s, FBI interviews, and other things are readily evident as still missing. Not sure that we even have a single survivor testimony or interview for that matter.
But on Trump doing an Elvis and calling the cops to turn in the bad guy, Joe tells us Trump called PBPD police chief in July of 2006 “to tell him that Epstein’s activities with teenaged girls were well known in both New York and Palm Beach.” “Thank goodness you’re stopping him, everyone has known he’s been doing this,” the police chief said Trump told him in 2006. Everybody has known, meaning for some time, in two locations: FL and NYC, and nobody but Trump calls.
Trump has also claimed he kicked Epstein out of Mar A Largo around 2003 or 2004, after accusing him of poaching staff, not for what he says in 2006 everyone knew, but two years early. OR was it? But, in 2004, why did he choose the lesser offense when he called the cops on sex crimes everybody knew for some time in both FL and NYC less than two or three years later?
Teen-aged girls, meh. Poaching staff: you’re out of here.
According to club records, the actual ban was not 2003, not 2004, but in 2007, a whole year after Trump called PBPD. So, based on the actual dates, Trump knew about the sex crimes fer sure when he side-barred it to staff poaching instead: what’s up with that? Certainly not urgency, certainty, or bravery.
From the story, and a fact Joe left out, in 2019, Trump said: “No, I had no idea. I had no idea,” about Epstein’s activities. So, which is it: pedophilia, staff poaching, or no idea? The last answer given, I know nothing, I know nothing where Trump apparently can’t remember the PBPD call. Sound fishy to you?
Today, Trump’s FBI said: “We are not aware of any corroborating evidence that the President contacted law enforcement 20 years ago” as in the PBPD did not call the FBI. Neither did Trump. What’s up with that? Actually there is a memo from the FBI noting the Trump PBPD call so why is Kash’s FBI tossing Trump under the bus. I cannot even hazard a guess on that one.
For Maxwell, Trump in July 2020, said, “I just wish her well, frankly.” Let me guess, no sex, just staff poaching again? And later his lawyer gave her Club Fed. Sound like a coverup?
In 2008, Epstein was convicted in a FL sweetheart deal for 13 months with a work release by a prosecutor, Alexander Acosta who somehow becomes Trump’s Secretary of Labor for his efforts. Payback? Coverup? The plea bargain was a secret deal. The work release lets him out every day. Bear in mind that the investigation started in 2005, Trump said nothing even though he, and everyone according to Trump, apparently knew. He kicked Epstein out of Mar A Largo in 2007 but did not go to the authorities with what he, and everyone, knew. In 2019, Epstein dies in jail on Trump’s watch. No, I do not think Trump had him killed, Epstein’s are hated and fair game in prison hated by inmates and staff as well. But Trump did not protect him either.
And everyone, from 2005 to today, in the Federal Government, have done what Bondi did in public in Congress, in front of the American people, on live TV: turned their collective backs on the survivors. Bush, Obama, Biden, Trump, and now Trump again —- all have let the survivors, and all of American, down. Bondi can still make a difference or become the poster child for all the failures in her support of old, rich, white, guys with power.
I think it’s time to give it up Pam, stop being a Pedophile Protector, let the sunshine in and release all of the files, redacted correctly, and let the chips fall where they may in investigating each willing survivor, and even with your actions to chill them out, there are many. You just now released a client list, but it’s a clusterfuck smoke screen that includes Janis Joplin, Elvis Pressley, and more dead people than on a Musk Social Security list. What’s up with that? Just fucking with people? Why did the list include: Marjorie Taylor Greene, Rep. Thomas Massie, Rep. Ro Khanna, and Rep. Nancy Mace, all the folks pushing for the files. What’s up with that? DOJ seems “purposefully muddying the waters” on who was a predator and who was mentioned in an email or the news.
Pam seems to want everything to look wrong so nothing can look right. At least take the dead people and politicians pushing for sunshine off the list.
Truth seekers will not let this shit pass, nor should they. There’s a thousand survivors out there looking for closure and not one rich white man has been indicted for any of those 1,000 victims. The way the files were fraudulently redacted, we don’t know how many survivors were interviewed, claims investigated or whether a single old, rich, white man, was even investigated at all. If Trump would show some backbone and support the surviving victims, there will be more survivors to help as your support will be met with their support. Investigate each of the men to prove who is culpable and who is not. The innocent men will appreciate this as will the survivors and most of America. Bondi has a choice, hero or zero, and, so far, she has chosen badly, she has chosen zero. IMO, she could turn this around, be the hero, by letting the sunshine in by pursuing all leads to wherever they go as super spy: BONDI: Pam Bondi, Protector of Survivors, the one who stood up for victims, the one who did what Biden, Obama, and Bush swept under the rug for Trump to bring into the light. Hard to fathom why not make that choice unless: coverup.
Anyone in anyway responsible for the rape for anyone underaged deserves to be ratted out.
I’d “drop a dime” on such a sleazy pervert in a heartbeat!
There’s a new law in the books for such nauseating scumbags here in Alabama~~DEATH!
