(16,141 posts)They were close friends at the time, then after a falling out over a Palm Beach real estate deal, a vindictive and angry Trump dropped a dime on Epstein. How did Trump know so much about Epstein's illegal activities?

JONATHAN ALTER:
Why did the friendship end?
MICHAEL WOLFF:
It ended over real estate. In 2004, Epstein believed he was the high bidder on a Palm Beach house at $36 million and took Trump to see it and to give him advice on moving the swimming pool. Trump then promptly went around his back and outbid him at $40 million, though he likely didnt have $40 million; Epstein believed Trump was fronting for someone and threatened to sue him. Epstein believed Trump then informed the police in Palm Beach that he had a never-ending stream of underage girls in and out of his house there, and thus began his long years of legal peril.
