(snip)
Speaking to reporters while flying to Mar-a-Lago for the weekend, Trump was asked about his relationship with Epstein, specifically Epsteins claim that the president knew about the girls as he asked Ghislaine to stop, referring to Epsteins accomplice, Ghislaine Maxwell, who recruited victims as part of the financiers sex trafficking operation.
The president responded by deflecting and drawing attention to other powerful men in Epsteins network, including former President Bill Clinton and former Treasury Secretary Larry Summers.

Jeffrey Epstein and I had a very bad relationship for many years, but he also saw a strength because I was president, he continued. So he dictated a couple of memos to himself. Give me a break. Youve got to find out what did he know with respect to Bill Clinton, with respect to the head of Harvard, with the respect of all of those people that he knew, including JPMorgan Chase.
When the reporter attempted to ask a follow-up question, asking the president, Sir, if theres nothing incriminating in the files, he cut her off, shouting, Quiet! Quiet! before taking a question from another reporter.
