President Donald Trump stated that he ended his friendship with Jeffrey Epstein because Epstein repeatedly poached employees from his Mar-a-Lago spa. Trump specifically accused Epstein of "stealing" young women who worked at the spa, including Virginia Giuffre, one of Epstein's most well-known victims who died by suicide earlier this year. Trump said he confronted Epstein about taking his workers and told him not to continue, but Epstein persisted, leading to Epstein being banned from the Mar-a-Lago estate. This explanation contrasts with previous accounts from the White House regarding the reason for the break in their relationship. Virginia Giuffre was a prominent accuser in Epstein's sex trafficking case and had connections to other high-profile figures. Trump's remarks have brought renewed attention to Giuffre amid ongoing discussions about Epstein's victims and legacy.
