Maria Farmer reported Donald Trump’s connection to Jeffrey Epstein to the FBI on two occasions, detailing her concerns about Epstein’s pursuit of young women and his association with powerful figures like Trump. In 1996, Farmer described an unsettling encounter with Trump at Epstein’s office, where she felt uncomfortable. While Farmer did not have direct evidence of Trump’s wrongdoing, she expressed concerns about his association with Epstein, which has been documented in photos, videos, and a 2003 birthday letter referencing a shared “secret.” These reports come amid increasing scrutiny of Trump’s relationship with Epstein.

Maria Farmer, an accuser in the Jeffrey Epstein case, twice informed the FBI about Donald Trump’s ties to the convicted sex trafficker. This revelation, brought to light by Rolling Stone, underscores the potential presence of Trump’s name in the Epstein files held by the Justice Department.

Maria Farmer’s account provides a disturbing glimpse into her interactions with both Epstein and Trump. She detailed how, on one occasion, she was unexpectedly summoned by Epstein to his Manhattan office. Upon her arrival in running shorts, Trump, clad in a business suit, appeared and reportedly stared at her bare legs. Epstein then entered the room, reportedly telling Trump that she “wasn’t there for him.”

These reports, coupled with other allegations spanning decades, paint a picture of Trump’s involvement in various sex crimes. Trump has repeatedly attempted to downplay the scandal, even suing the Wall Street Journal over the release of a birthday letter he sent to Epstein. The letter concluded with the phrase “Happy Birthday — and may every day be another wonderful secret.”

Trump’s supporters have largely ignored the allegations, with some even blaming his subordinates for the lack of transparency. Fox News notably edited out part of Trump’s response during an interview when asked about releasing the “Epstein client list,” removing his follow-up comment which admitted that the list may contain lies.

Beyond the Epstein controversy, numerous women have accused Trump of sexual abuse, harassment, or rape, with claims stretching back to the 1970s. These accusations include instances of forcible groping, inappropriate grabbing, and unwanted kissing. Former Miss Teen USA contestants have alleged that Trump unexpectedly entered their dressing rooms, making them feel uncomfortable.

In a 2005 interview on The Howard Stern Show, Trump admitted to entering backstage areas before beauty pageants, where women were undressing, stating that, as the owner, he could “get away with things like that.” A former Miss USA contestant described Trump inspecting contestants like “sexual objects.”

Further accusations include an incident where Jessica Leeds alleged that Trump grabbed her breasts and reached up her skirt during a flight. Another woman claimed Trump attempted to rape her in his daughter’s bedroom at Mar-A-Lago. Reporter Natasha Stoynoff recounted an encounter where Trump allegedly pushed her against a wall and “forced his tongue down [her] throat.”

The Stormy Daniels case and the infamous “Hollywood access tape” also stirred controversy. Following the tape’s release, Trump held a press conference, parading women who accused Bill Clinton of abuse, drawing criticism for his actions. When other women came forward with accusations, Trump dismissed them as “horrible, horrible liars.”

The findings in the E. Jean Carroll case, where a jury found Trump liable for sexual assault, further solidify these allegations. Additionally, there’s the “Katie Johnson” case, which was repeatedly filed in 2016 before being dismissed. The suit alleged Trump and Epstein had turned the plaintiff into a “sex slave” at age 13.

The friendship between Trump and Epstein, spanning from the late 1980s, included social gatherings and frequent appearances together at Mar-a-Lago. In 2002, Trump described Epstein as a “terrific guy,” adding that “he likes beautiful women as much as I do, and many of them are on the younger side.”

Epstein’s message books, seized by police in 2005, contained the names and numbers of several high-profile individuals, including Trump. Virginia Guiffre, an Epstein accuser, alleged that she was recruited into the sex trafficking ring while working at Mar-a-Lago. Though Trump publicly distanced himself from Epstein only after his arrest and death in 2019, he showed sympathy for Ghislaine Maxwell after her arrest, saying he “wished her well.”

Flight logs revealed that Trump flew on Epstein’s private jet, known as the “Lolita Express,” at least seven times. Journalist Michael Wolff, who interviewed Trump and had access to the White House, claims Trump considered pardoning Maxwell. Wolff also reports having seen photographs of Trump at Epstein’s Palm Beach mansion with topless young women, some of whom were reportedly sitting in Trump’s lap.

The fact that Maria Farmer reported Trump’s ties to the FBI on two separate occasions around the late 1990s and early 2000s, around the time Epstein was investigated in Palm Beach, should be considered, especially in light of the evidence presented in the previous paragraphs.
