.MaddowBlog: Despite having praised Jeffrey Epstein, Pres. Trump now says he ‘wasn’t a fan.'
The scandal surrounding Jeffrey Epstein, his criminal charges, and his many alleged underage victims is multifaceted, complicated by the fact that the defendant has socialized with some very powerful friends. The Associated Press reported yesterday:
A spokesperson for Bill Clinton said yesterday that the former president “knows nothing about the terrible crimes Jeffrey Epstein pleaded guilty to in Florida some years ago, or those with which he has been recently charged in New York.” The statement did, however, note a series of instances in which Clinton made use of Epstein’s private plane.“I’ve known Jeff for 15 years. Terrific guy,” the future president said. “He’s a lot of fun to be with.
Asked about his previous rhetoric about Epstein, Trump told reporters this afternoon, “Well, I knew him like everybody in Palm Beach knew him. I mean, people in Palm Beach knew him; he was a fixture in Palm Beach. I had a falling out with him a long time ago. I don’t think I’ve spoken to him for 15 years. I wasn’t a fan. I was not – yeah, a long time ago. I’d say, maybe 15 years. I was not a fan of his, that I can tell you. I was not a fan of his.
