President Donald Trump is reportedly “furious” about the incessant questions he continues to receive on his decades-old relationship with Jeffrey Epstein, a sentiment that boiled over during an appearance in Scotland on Monday.
A question from the traveling White House press corps set off Trump, who truculently attacked Epstein as a “creep” who was thrown out of Mar-a-Lago after harassing women at his golf resort.
“I threw Epstein out. Persona non grata. And that was it. I’m glad I did. And by the way, I never went to the island. And Bill Clinton went there supposedly 28 times,” he said angrily.
Trump’s answer harkens back to last week’s revelation that President Clinton allegedly contributed to a booklet of well-wishes presented to Epstein for his 50th birthday. Clinton is said to have praised Epstein for his “childlike curiosity,” according to the Wall Street Journal.
“It’s reassuring isn’t it, to have lasted as long, across all the years of learning and knowing, adventures and [illegible word], and also to have your childlike curiosity, the drive to make a difference and the solace of friends,” Clinton’s letter allegedly reads.
A spokesman said Clinton “knows nothing about the terrible crimes Jeffrey Epstein pleaded guilty to in Florida some years ago, or those with which he has been recently charged in New York,” according to a statement.
