Jeffrey Epstein’s Friends Sent Him Bawdy Letters for a 50th Birthday Album. One Was From Donald Trump. It was Jeffrey Epstein’s 50th birthday, and Ghislaine Maxwell was preparing a special gift to mark the occasion. She turned to Epstein’s family and friends. One of them was Donald Trump.

1997 Trump and Epstein were photographed standing near each other at a Victoria’s Secret “Angels” party, according to a Getty image of Trump posing with model Ingrid Seynhaeve that shows Epstein in the background.

Speaking on CNN’s Erin Burnett OutFront on Tuesday, Mark Epstein shut down Trump’s repeated claims he ended his friendship with the convicted sex offender. CNN played footage of Trump claiming in 2019 that he “ was not a fan ” of the financier, that he “did not want anything to do with him” and had no respect for him.
