Stacey Williams, a former girlfriend of
Jeffrey Epstein’s, alleged that her ex-boyfriend and President
Donald Trump “were very close and up to no good.”
The Trump administration is reeling after a tumultuous two weeks sparked by the Department of Justice, which
found that Epstein did not have a long-rumored client list that Attorney General
Pam Bondi claimed he had. The DOJ also repeated its
conclusionthat the deceased sex trafficker committed suicide in a Manhattan jail cell in 2019.
In October, Williams
accused Trump of groping her at Trump Tower in 1993 as part of what she described as part of a “twisted game,” during which Epstein smiled as Trump touched her against her will. A spokesperson for Trump denied the allegations.
Williams appeared on CNN’s
OutFront on Friday night to discuss Trump’s relationship with Epstein, which has received renewed attention after
The Wall Street Journalpublished a
story describing how Trump sent Epstein a birthday letter in 2003 featuring a drawing of a nude woman. The president denies the reporting and is
suing the paper and those associated with the publication of the story.
“While you were dating Epstein, can you tell us how close these two men were?” guest host
Brianna Keilar asked Williams.
“They were best friends,” Williams responded. “I dated Jeffrey for a period of more or less, I think, about four or five months. And the only friend that he would mention every time we saw each other or had a phone conversation was Donald. And he would share a lot of anecdotes. I have plenty of anecdotes. And yeah, they were they were very close and they were up to no good.”
“And how did Epstein talk about Trump?” Keilar followed up. “What was the quality of those anecdotes, and how he described him?”
Williams said Epstein once told her that “he had to check in on [Trump] because he was unwell and very upset about something that had happened.”
“That was his bro. That was his wingman,” she continued, before referring to Epstein’s friend Ghislaine Maxwell, who is serving a 20-year prison sentence for child sex trafficking. “I’d hear about Ghislaine and I’d hear about Jeffrey. And I met Ghislaine in his house. She would come wafting in and out, the home in New York. So, [Trump] was clearly just someone that he talked about all the time.”
