President Trump just revealed the real reason why he completely broke ties with Jeffrey Epstein.
While speaking from Air Force One today, President Trump said that Jeffrey Epstein would steal young women from the spa staff at Mar-a-Lago.
He said he believes that one of them was Virginia Guiffre — Epstein’s most outspoken victim, who allegedly died by suicide earlier this year.
Listen for yourself:
🚨BREAKING: President Trump says he banned Epstein from Mar-a-Lago after he kept poaching the spa staff, including victim Virginia Giuffre.
“When I heard, I told him ‘We don’t want you taking our people’… He did it again and I said ‘Out of here.’”

For those who prefer to read, Politico broke it down:
President Donald Trump said Tuesday that Jeffrey Epstein “stole” young women from his Mar-a-Lago beach club spa decades ago.
“People were taken out of the spa, hired by him. In other words, gone,” Trump told reporters aboard Air Force One. “When I heard about it, I told him, I said, listen, we don’t want you taking our people, whether it’s spa or not spa … And he was fine. And not too long after he did it again. And I said outta here.”
“I have a great spa,” Trump added. “One of the best spas in the world at Mar-a-Lago.”
The anecdote comes a day after Trump said that he severed ties with the disgraced financier and child sex offender, who died in prison by suicide six years ago, after “he stole people who worked for me.”
When asked whether one of those young women was Virginia Giuffre, one of Epstein’s most vocal accusers, he said “I think so. I think that was one of the people,” adding that Epstein “stole her.”
“And by the way, she had no complaints about us whatsoever,” the president added.
Giuffre died by suicide in April.
According to reports, President Trump officially banned Jeffrey Epstein from Mar-a-Lago in 2007 due to accusations of sexual harassment.
Per Newsweek:
Donald Trump formally banned Jeffrey Epstein from his Mar‑a‑Lago club in or around 2007 after Epstein allegedly sexually harassed a teenage daughter of another member, according to multiple accounts including research based on The Grifter’s Club book.
Trump said Monday that he cut ties with Epstein, a longtime friend, and banned him from Mar-a-Lago years ago because “he stole people who worked for me.”
President Trump’s story checks out.
Virginia Guiffre did, indeed, work at Mar-a-Lago.
She said that she met Ghislaine Maxwell there, who “recruited” her, initially as a masseuse for Epstein.
That’s where her nightmare began.
At age 16, Giuffre was employed as a locker-room attendant at Trump’s Mar‑a‑Lago resort, where her father worked in maintenance. That was where she said she was approached by Maxwell under the pretense of becoming Epstein’s traveling masseuse—an opportunity that ultimately led her into the sex trafficking ring. She later said that she met Epstein there and that the environment quickly turned abusive.

This is the first time we’ve heard President Trump directly confirm that Guiffre was poached by Epstein from Mar-a-Lago.
Very notably, in her lifetime, Guiffre never had anything but good things to say about President Trump himself.
In fact, back in October, she appeared ready to talk and was hoping President Trump would be re-elected and give her the opportunity to do so.
In light of all that’s happened with the Epstein case recently, Guiffre’s death is even more suspicious.
About a month before the 2024 election, she tweeted this:

That doesn’t seem like anything a victim of sex trafficking would say about a man that was involved or implicated in any way.
Likely, President Trump did not know, at that time, the extent of what was really happening with Epstein.
And, at the first sign of trouble, he distanced himself from him.
The same cannot be said for Bill Clinton…
Yesterday, President Trump told reporters straight-up how it was:
