Trump Says Epstein "Stole" Virginia Giuffre—But That Raises Bigger Questions
So, here’s a pretty startling update that’s stirred up more questions than it answers. This week, former President Donald Trump spoke to reporters and made a rare, direct comment about his past ties to Jeffrey Epstein, the now-deceased sex offender at the center of a global scandal. While Trump has tried for years to downplay his association with Epstein, his latest remarks have actually reignited the controversy.
Here’s what happened. Trump was asked about comments he made earlier in the week where he said that he had a falling out with Epstein because Epstein “stole” employees from his Mar-a-Lago resort. Now, that kind of vague accusation had people speculating—but on Tuesday, Trump clarified that yes, those employees were young women who worked at the spa. That alone was enough to raise eyebrows, but then came the bombshell: when pressed specifically about Virginia Giuffre, one of Epstein’s most well-known accusers, Trump said, “I think she worked at the spa... he stole her.”

That’s a pretty major acknowledgment. Giuffre has alleged for years that she was recruited into Epstein’s trafficking operation as a teen while working at Mar-a-Lago. Trump had previously avoided directly addressing her involvement. And although he emphasized that Giuffre "had no complaints" about him or his club, the fact that he now links her to this “poaching” incident changes the conversation significantly.
Back in 2019, Trump was much more evasive about the split with Epstein, suggesting it wasn’t worth discussing. But in recent comments, he’s described the rift as being driven by Epstein repeatedly hiring his staff—despite being told not to. Trump claimed he eventually kicked Epstein out of Mar-a-Lago entirely, calling him “persona non grata” and saying, “Stay the hell out of here.”
Now, here’s where things get even murkier. There are different versions floating around about why Trump and Epstein fell out. Some earlier reports linked it to a high-stakes real estate feud over a mansion in Palm Beach. Other accounts suggest Epstein’s behavior toward young girls at the club was the final straw. But now Trump is tying it all together—saying Epstein took young spa workers, including possibly Giuffre, and that was unacceptable.
All this creates a new layer of scrutiny about what Trump might have known—and when. Especially since his own former aides have said he distanced himself from Epstein long before the public knew the full scope of Epstein’s crimes. That implies that something troubling might have been suspected or observed even back then.
At the end of the day, while Trump insists he acted because of "inappropriate" behavior, it’s clear that questions remain—not just about his relationship with Epstein, but about the broader circle of people who were aware, and silent, for years.
