Flight Logs of Epstein’s Plane
Epstein was arrested in New York on Saturday for alleged sex-trafficking offenses dating back from the early 2000’s. His charges include one count of sex trafficking of minors and one count of conspiracy to engage in sex trafficking of minors. Epstein pleaded not guilty Monday to all charges.
Trump is reported to have traveled on Epstein’s plane on at least one occasion. In the past, the president has spoken highly of Epstein before allegations surfaced of his child sex abuse saying,”I’ve known Jeff for fifteen years. Terrific guy. He’s a lot of fun to be with. It is even said that he likes beautiful women as much as I do, and many of them are on the younger side.”
The president’s legal team denied that the two were ever close friends.
In a press conference on Monday, prosecutors said investigators found nude photos of what appear to be underage girls in Epstein’s New York mansion.
