Revealed: Incident that led Trump to give Epstein the boot from Mar-a-Lago
The Wall Street Journal published a bombshell report on Tuesday night, revealing the infamous incident that led President Donald Trump to kick disgraced financier Jeffrey Epstein out of his Mar-a-Lago Club.
Trump has previously acknowledged that Epstein was a Mar-a-Lago member at one time, and that he was kicked out for being rude to guests. The Journal's reporting reveals that Epstein hit on an 18-year-old beautician who was sent to Epstein's nearby mansion in Palm Springs for a "house call." According to the report, the girl came back to Mar-a-Lago and reported Epstein for attempting to pressure her into having sex with him.
"A manager sent Trump a fax relaying the employee’s allegations and urged him to ban Epstein, some of the former employees said. Trump told the manager it was a good letter and said to kick him out," the WSJ reported.
The employee also reported the incident to the club's human resources department, according to the report, but it was not relayed to the Palm Beach Police Department.
The WSJ also noted that Mar-a-Lago frequently sent "spa employees—usually young women—to Epstein’s nearby mansion for massages, manicures and other spa services."
The allegation made by the beautician has not been previously reported, according to The Journal. It was revealed at a time when Trump was trying to distance himself from the Epstein files again, after recent revelations painted his relationship with Epstein in an unscrupulous light.
