President Donald Trump doubled down on his explanation for kicking Jeffrey Epstein out of his Florida home after revealing the disgraced financier “did something that was inappropriate” years before his arrest.
Speaking to reporters while onboard Air Force 1 in Scotland on Tuesday, the president further elaborated on his revelation that Epstein “stole” workers employed at his Mar-a-Lago estate years ago, ultimately leading to the pair’s eventual fallout.
“He took people,” Trump said. “I said, ‘Don’t do that anymore,’ you know, they work for me. And he took beyond that. He took some others. And once he did that, that was the end of him.”
The Supreme Court is scheduled to discuss taking up Maxwell’s appeal on Sept. 29.
Maxwell’s legal team has also said she would “openly and honestly, in public,” if granted a pardon by Trump — a move the president acknowledged is within his rights to consider but added that he has not been asked to do so yet.
“She welcomes the opportunity to share the truth and to dispel the many misconceptions and misstatements that have plagued this case from the beginning,” Maxwell’s lawyers previously said.
