I am hoping he comes to Columbus. Epstein and Les Wexner were very close for a long time. Ohio State got a lot of Epstein money.

(7,947 posts)It seems like Epstein ended up with his mansion and a lot of his money. How?
There was some big break between them too.
Very curious.

(14,885 posts)Epstein said he introduced Trump to Melania.
I went crazy, Trump told Larry King on CNN in 2005. There was this great supermodel sitting next to Melania. I was supposed to meet this supermodel. They said, Look, theres so and so. I said, Forget about her. Who is the one on the left? And it was Melania.

In a harrowing report from the New York Times on Monday, sisters Maria Farmer and Annie Farmer divulged details of the earliest known reports to authorities of Jeffrey Epsteins illicit sexual contact with young women and young girls. They accused both Epstein and his alleged madam Ghislaine Maxwell of sexually assaulting them as early as 1996, a year before actress and model Alicia Arden filed a police report claiming that Epstein groped her.
Recounting one of her first memories of life in Epsteins orbit, Maria Farmer said she remembered one particular interaction between Epstein and President Donald Trump, during which Epstein appeared to shoot down the future president of the United States after he allegedly ogled the 25-year-old Farmer.
Farmer was an artist who moved to New York City in 1993 to pursue a career in the arts. She said she was introduced to Epstein and Maxwell after graduating from the New York Academy of Art, both of whom took an immediate interest in the young woman. Epstein quickly offered her a position acquisitioning art and managing his townhouse entrance, which meant she frequently found herself in the palatial estate.
Farmer was in Epsteins office when she first met Donald Trump. According to the report, Trump was eyeing Farmer when Epstein jumped in, telling Trump shes not for you. The Times said Farmers mother, Janice Swain, vouched for the account of the Trump-Epstein interaction, saying her daughter detailed it to her around the time it happened.
