Epstein's Ex Says He And Trump Had A ‘Very Close' Friendship And Were ‘Up to No Good'

Epstein's Ex Says He And Trump Had A ‘Very Close' Friendship And Were ‘Up to No Good'

Yahoo2 days ago
A former Sports Illustrated model who was romantically involved with convicted sex offender Jeffrey Epstein claimed Friday that her ex and President Donald Trump were quite close, adding more to the ongoing controversy surrounding the Epstein files.
'They were best friends,' Stacey Williams told CNN host Brianna Keilar on Friday night. 'I dated Jeffrey for a period of more or less, I think about four or five months, and the only friend that he would mention every time we saw each other or had a phone conversation was Donald.'

Trump and his administration recently faced scrutiny over their handling of Epstein's sex abuse case after building up hype for the files' release — only for the Department of Justice and FBI to say there was no evidence Epstein was murdered in jail, nor did he have a so-called 'client list.'
Those findings triggered a shift in the MAGA base, as many of Trump's supporters began to turn against him and the administration. Since then, Trump has tried to distance himself from the Epstein case, even calling his supporters 'stupid' and 'foolish' for speculating about it.
Williams told Keilar on Friday that Trump was Epstein's 'bro' and 'his wingman,' claiming the two were 'very close and they were up to no good.'
Williams previously came out with a bombshell accusation against the president during his campaign in October, claiming Trump had groped her in 1993 during an encounter facilitated by Epstein himself.
White House press secretary Karoline Leavitt denied William's accusations last year, saying 'it's obvious this fake story was contrived by the Harris campaign.'
However, Williams revisited that encounter on Friday.
'You know when that happens in broad daylight in someone's office and an assistant is walking back and forth, you're in shock,' Williams told Keilar.
The president has sued reporters of The Wall Street Journal for publishing the contents of a lewd birthday card he allegedly sent Epstein in 2003, featuring a drawing of a naked woman and a message that read 'Happy Birthday — and may every day be another wonderful secret.'
Trump called the message fake, claiming he never 'wrote a picture' in his life and that he doesn't 'draw pictures of women.'
'It's not my language. It's not my words,' the president said.
According to Williams, that birthday card was not out of character for the Epstein-Trump duo.
'Are you kidding me? I know what they were up to together. It happened to me. I was polygraphed. I have the post-assault postcard with a love note,' Williams said. 'So I have the receipts. Where are Donald Trump's receipts? Where are they? I know what they were up to together, and I know what that means. It's very clear. It wasn't baking or fishing.'

Tucker Carlson Spits Out 2-Word Response To Trump's Claim That He Called The President To Apologize

Tucker Carlson is disputing Donald Trump's claim that he apologized for accusing the president of being 'complicit' in Israel's military attacks on Iran last month. Just days after the former Fox News host made the comments in a June 13 newsletter posted on his website, the POTUS alleged to reporters in the Oval Office that the conservative pundit reached out to him to bury the hatchet. 'He called and apologized the other day because he thought he had said things that were a little bit too strong, and I appreciate that,' Trump said on June 18. Trump also referred to Carlson as 'kooky' in a pointed June 16 post on his social platform Truth Social. 'Somebody please explain to kooky Tucker Carlson that, 'IRAN CAN NOT HAVE A NUCLEAR WEAPON!'' he wrote. In a new interview with German newspaper Bild, Carlson denied that the call ever took place. After the outlet's editor-in-chief, Paul Ronzheimer, asked Carlson if Trump's claims about the phone call were true, he replied, 'Okay... no.' 'No? It's not true?' Ronzheimer questioned again. 'No, I will say this … I don't care. I really like Trump. I campaigned for Trump. I just, to say it again, I agree with Trump, I have agreed with Trump on the issues,' Carlson said in the interview released Sunday. The political commentator went on to say that despite Trump's statement about the call not being factual, he would be 'happy to apologize' to the president. 'I'd be happy … I am the first to apologize because I am most mindful of my limits, and my own absurdities and the nonsense that I have spouted over the years,' Carlson said. 'Like, I don't think I'm God, and so I'm happy to apologize. And you can ask anyone who knows me, I'm an apologizer.' Ronzheimer then doubled down, asking Carlson, 'So you're apologizing now, publicly? Do I understand right?' Carlson responded: 'I don't know what I'd apologize for. I didn't attack Trump then. I disagreed with him … I don't think anything [was said] that would warrant an apology.' White House officials didn't immediately respond to HuffPost's requests for comment. The day after Carlson's newsletter published, Trump denied the U.S. had any involvement in Israel's attack on Iran in a June 13 post on Truth Social. 'The U.S. had nothing to do with the attack on Iran, tonight,' Trump wrote. 'If we are attacked in any way, shape or form by Iran, the full strength and might of the U.S. Armed Forces will come down on you at levels never seen before.' On June 21, U.S. forces struck three Iranian nuclear sites in a 'very successful attack,' Trump said in a televised Oval Office address. He added that Tehran's nuclear program had been wiped out.

US immigration says it did not deport Chilean man living in Pennsylvania, refuting report

WASHINGTON (AP) — U.S. immigration authorities on Monday denied reports that they detained or deported a Chilean man living in the country on a green card. The Morning Call of Allentown, Pennsylvania, reported that Luis Leon, 82, ended up in Guatemala after being handcuffed in a Philadelphia immigration office, where he went to replace his lost green card June 20. The report, which said he won asylum in 1987, relied on family accounts. The Morning Call reported Sunday that Leon was recovering from pneumonia in Guatemala and did not plan to return to the United States, according to his granddaughter. A phone message left Monday at a number linked to the granddaughter was not returned. The Department of Homeland Security said it had no record of Leon appearing for an appointment in or near Philadelphia June 20 and said he legally entered the U.S. in 2015 as a visitor. A U.S. Immigration and Customs Enforcement spokesman, Jason Koontz, said the agency didn't deport Leon anywhere. The Guatemalan Migration Institute said in a statement Sunday that it coordinates with ICE on all deportations from the United States and that no one matched Leon's name, age or citizenship.

Washington D.C. mayor doesn't expect President Trump to block Commanders stadium deal after calling for name change

Even after President Donald Trump weighed in with multiple social media posts on Sunday threatening to block the deal, Washington D.C. Mayor Muriel Bowser isn't worried about the Commanders' return to the city. Bowser, speaking Monday after Trump called for the Commanders to revert back to their old nickname that was widely seen as offensive, doesn't expect they'll have to worry about Trump or Congress intervening in the Commanders' new stadium deal. While the D.C. Council still needs to approve the deal officially, that could be done in a matter of weeks. 'I don't think that's an eventuality we have to plan for,' Bowser told ESPN of Trump blocking the deal. 'What we have to do as a city is do our part. And so our part is we've come up with a great deal, we have a great plan, we've done the community outreach, now is the time for the council to approve it.' Trump made multiple posts Sunday calling on both the Commanders and the Cleveland Guardians to revert back to their old team nicknames. The Commanders rebranded from the 'Washington Redskins' in 2020, and the Guardians retired their old 'Indians' moniker and the 'Chief Wahoo' logo ahead of the 2022 season. Both team names and the old Cleveland logo drew plenty of criticism in the years leading up to the change. The Commanders have not yet addressed Trump's posts, though new team owner Josh Harris has been clear that the team won't be going back to their old name. The Guardians shut the idea down on Sunday. Though he didn't get into specifics, Trump threatened to block the Commanders' new stadium deal if they didn't change their name. White House press secretary Karoline Leavitt insisted Monday that Trump's threat was real, though it's unclear what he could realistically do on that front. The Commanders announced plans earlier this year for a $3.7 billion deal to build a stadium on the old Robert F. Kennedy Memorial Stadium site in Washington. The team is set to contribute $2.7 billion of that deal, and is looking for the rest to come from the city, along with retail shops, housing and more on the property. The goal is to open for the 2030 season. "Let me be clear, we're on the 1-yard line and it's time to get over the line," Bowser said, via ESPN. "I can't even imagine having to start all over on this. There's nobody waiting in the wings with $2.7 billion. And so this stadium is a catalyst and it will attract other investments. Any impediment to it getting done should be discouraged. 'When you're on the 1-yard line, you want to carry it over, right? That's all you want. No fumbles, no interceptions, let's just get it over the line. And that's what we're focused on." As for the stadium deal itself, Bowser insists that she thinks Trump knows it is a good one for everyone involved. 'This is what I believe,' she said. "I've had the opportunity to speak on a couple of different occasions with the President about this site and about our team. And I can say this without equivocation, he is a Jayden Daniels fan and he said himself and the presser we were at, that this is probably the best site of any site he's seen for a stadium. I have to think that that's what I've heard him say and that's what we'll stick with."
