Headline: UNCAPTIONED: FBI File Alleges 2006 Trump Call About Epstein Investigation
Caption: FBI File Alleges 2006 Trump Call About Epstein Investigation. A newly released FBI document claims Donald Trump called Florida's Palm Beach police chief in 2006 as authorities began investigating Jeffrey Epstein. According to the record of a 2019 FBI interview, the former police chief — identified as Michael Reiter — said Trump told him, "Thank goodness you're stopping him, everyone has known he's been doing this." The document also alleges Trump said he had banned Epstein from Mar-a-Lago and described Ghislaine Maxwell as Epstein's “operative." Trump has consistently denied knowing about Epstein's crimes and has said he cut ties years before Epstein's first arrest. The Justice Department says it is unaware of any evidence confirming the call took place. The claims surface as Maxwell, now serving a 20-year sentence, recently refused to answer questions before a House committee, invoking her Fifth Amendment rights.
