With Donald Trump’s relationship with Jeffrey Epstein once again all over the news, a lot of attention has been paid to the exact circumstances of how Trump and Epstein fell out in the 1990s.

Different explanations have been given over the years, from the two parting company over a Florida real estate auction dispute, to claims that Trump banned Epstein from Mar-a-Lago after Epstein made a pass at a club member’s daughter.

This week, Trump gave a completely different explanation of why he and Epstein stopped being friends. Speaking in Scotland, in response to a reporter’s question during a press availability with British Prime Minister Kier Starmer, Trump claimed that Epstein “stole people who worked for me,” which led to Epstein being ejected from Mar-a-Lago and the end of their friendship.

“For years I wouldn’t talk to Jeffrey Epstein. He did something that was inappropriate. He hired help and I said don’t ever do that again. He stole people that worked for me,” the president said.

“I threw him out, and that was it. I’m glad I did, if you want to know the truth.”

Trump did not state that the end of his friendship with Epstein had anything to do with the late financier’s crimes. He also did not name who the “employees” were who Epstein allegedly took from him.

Many people on social media noted a part of the story that was left out of Trump’s explanation: Virginia Giuffre, one of Epstein’s accusers and a woman who died of suicide earlier this year, long stated that she was recruited by Epstein’s convicted accomplice, Ghislaine Maxwell, while working as a spa attendant at Mar-a-Lago.
