Trump traveled on Epstein’s plane more than previously thought, prosecutor says
Former President Donald Trump reportedly traveled on Jeffrey Epstein’s private plane more frequently than previously believed, according to a prosecutor in the Virgin Islands. The statement was made during a court hearing concerning the Epstein case, where the prosecutor mentioned Trump’s multiple trips on the plane.
The prosecutor did not provide specific details regarding the dates or the nature of Trump’s trips on the aircraft, which is known to have been used by Epstein to transport various high-profile individuals. Trump had previously acknowledged knowing Epstein but distanced himself following the financier’s conviction on charges of sex trafficking of minors.
Trump’s representatives have not issued a response to this recent claim, and it remains unclear what impact this new information may have on the ongoing legal proceedings related to Epstein’s case.
Epstein, a disgraced financier, was arrested in 2019 on federal charges of sex trafficking minors and was found dead in his jail cell a month later in what was ruled as suicide. The case has since continued to unravel a complex web of connections to powerful figures across various industries.
The revelation of Trump’s alleged increased presence on Epstein’s plane could potentially reignite public interest in the case and raise further questions about the extent of his relationship with the convicted sex offender.
