An artist who spoke with The New York Times about her experience with Donald Trump and Jeffrey Epstein revealed where the president might appear in the Epstein files.
Maria Farmer, who worked for Epstein between 1995 and 1996, told the outlet that she made numerous reports to the New York Police Department and the F.B.I. She shared her account at a time when Trump is trying to distance himself from the Epstein saga, which has consumed his presidency for more than a week.
In those reports, Farmer described a "pattern" of Epstein pursuing young women while simultaneously building relationships with people like Trump and former President Bill Clinton.
Farmer also spoke about one incident at one of Epstein's luxury properties in Manhattan, New York, where Trump "hovered" over her and "stared at her bare legs."
After Epstein entered the room, Farmer recalled him telling Trump, "No, no. She’s not here for you.”
The NYT obtained at least one note from one of the New York Police Department's investigators, who told Farmer to call the F.B.I. The records also "do not mention Mr. Trump, but much of the account remains redacted," the outlet reported.
It was also reported that "it is unclear whether federal investigators pursued a deeper examination of Mr. Trump’s relationship with Mr. Epstein or whether the authorities documented what Ms. Farmer said she told them about Mr. Trump."
Trump has denied all wrongdoing in the case. He has also sued news outlets that have reported on ties between Epstein and himself, including CBS and the Wall Street Journal.
