Here’s what to know about the disturbing facts and unsubstantiated suspicions that make Jeffrey Epstein, a registered sex offender, a politically potent obsession.

Fresh scrutiny is falling on convicted sex offender Jeffrey Epstein as new court filings and investigative reports revive disturbing speculation about the 47th US president’s entanglement in Epstein’s web of trafficking,

A rumor that circulated online in July 2025 claimed U.S. President Donald Trump once called now-deceased financier and convicted sex offender Jeffrey Epstein a "fun" and "terrific guy," adding, "It is even said that he likes beautiful women as much as I do, and many of them are on the younger side."

Donald Trump was friendly for at least 15 years with Jeffrey Epstein, the multimillionaire financier and convicted sex offender who died in prison in 2019.

The billionaire has used Trump’s handling of the ‘Epstein files’ issue to repeatedly attack his former ally since their public falling out last month.

Kevin Spacey has called for the Jeffrey Epstein files to be made public — saying “the truth can’t come soon enough” to help clear his name. “Release the Epstein files. All of them,” tweeted Spacey, 65, who once flew on Epstein’s “Lolita Express” jet and posed on a Buckingham Palace throne with the pedophile’s madam, Ghislaine Maxwell.

In 2002, Donald Trump called Jeffrey Epstein a "fun" and "terrific guy," and added, "It is even said that he likes beautiful women as much as I do, and many of them are on the younger side."
