Newly unearthed 2009 court records reveal an Epstein survivor accused President Donald Trump of having "knowledge of finances and [Epstein's] sexual desire for minor girls," wrote veteran journalist Alisa Valdés-Rodríguez.
In her Substack, Valdés-Rodríguez explained that the accusation appeared in written legal responses filed in a Palm Beach County circuit court lawsuit brought by a woman who claimed abuse by Epstein between 2002 and 2005. When asked to list persons with knowledge concerning the lawsuit, the woman's attorneys listed over 50 names, with Trump ranked fifth and explicitly described as having knowledge of Epstein's financial dealings and sexual interest in minors.
The woman detailed visiting Epstein's Palm Beach home over 100 times, where she claimed to have experienced sexual abuse and was coerced into recruiting other girls. She stated Epstein paid her $200 per assault and $200 for each girl she brought.
The FBI interviewed the woman when the investigations into Epstein began in 2005 and again in 2007, when an Epstein-paid attorney represented her.
