Kellyanne Conway: Trump hasn't had contact with Epstein in at least a decade

Source: The Hill


BY BRETT SAMUELS - 07/09/19 09:38 AM EDT

White House counselor Kellyanne Conway said Tuesday that President Trump hasn't been in contact with Jeffrey Epstein in 10 to 15 years after the wealthy financier was arrested and charged Monday with sex trafficking.

"I talked to the president this morning. He hasn’t talked to or had contact with Epstein in years and years and years," Conway told reporters on the White House driveway. "Over a decade at least, he said."

Trump and Epstein are known to have run in the same social circles years ago. The president has not weighed in on the charges since they were detailed Monday, but Conway said Trump finds them "unconscionable" and "disgusting."

Trump told New York Magazine in 2002 that Epstein was a "terrific guy" who's "a lot of fun to be with."

Lies, lies, lies. Actually all the Republicans lie, lie, lie.

Meaning, t-rump probably partake. Then he hired Acosta to a crucial government position. Smelly. Stinks. Sad.

Trump has contact with the prosecutor who misled judges to seal all the damning info about Epstein

Surely Alex Acosta was vetted and people knew that he helped shield Epstein none of these explosive child sex trafficking charges are new

Conway says tRUMP told her (now that's something to believe) that he hasn't spoken or seen Epstein in 15 years.

That would put tRUMP right in the heart of the crimes Epstein pleaded somewhat guilty to.

When asked about Acosta, Trump said he didn’t know about all that, and that it was a long time ago, but he’s been a great SOL. Trump truly believes if it happened a long time ago, he/they are absolved! 🤮
