President Donald Trump claimed that Jeffrey Epstein recruited young women from the Mar‑a‑Lago club’s spa in Florida, including Virginia Giuffre, a noted accuser in Epstein’s sex trafficking case.
Trump said Epstein, who had previously been welcomed as a guest at Mar‑a‑Lago, hired spa employees, leading to his subsequent ban from the property.
He suggested the women were effectively “stolen” from the spa and employed by Epstein, prompting Trump to sever ties with him.
Giuffre has been vocal about her allegations and has played a central role in drawing attention to Epstein’s activities.
Epstein frequently visited Mar‑a‑Lago, making the club a focal point in investigations into his network. Trump’s claim that spa employees were recruited by Epstein adds another dimension to those inquiries.
Investigators remain focused on understanding the full scope of Epstein’s operations and any involvement of high-profile figures.
