Donald Trump addressed questions about Jeffrey Epstein during a recent appearance on the Lex Fridman Podcast #442.
When Lex Fridman inquired about Trump’s hesitation regarding the release of Epstein-related documents, Trump responded, “I don’t think I had… I mean, I’m not involved. I never went to his island, fortunately. But a lot of people did.”
Fridman continued by asking why so many influential and intelligent people allowed Epstein to get close to them.
Trump described Epstein as “a good salesman” and “a hailing hardy type of guy” who used his wealth and assets, like private islands, to attract powerful figures. Trump emphasized that, unlike many others, he never visited Epstein’s island.
The discussion then shifted to the public’s curiosity about the list of Epstein’s clients who visited the island. Trump expressed interest in the matter, stating, “Yeah, it’s very interesting, isn’t it? Probably will be [made public], by the way. Probably.”
He added that he would be inclined to review the Epstein documents if given the chance, noting that he would have “no problem” with making such information public.
Trump contrasted the Epstein case with historical issues like the Kennedy assassination, indicating a stronger interest in the former.
