According to ABC News, President Trump has previously claimed, 'I was never on Epstein's Plane, or at his 'stupid' Island,' and noted that he has not publicly objected to releasing the files. 'I've known Jeff for 15 years. Terrific guy,' Donald Trump detailed to New York magazine in 2002. Epstein was found dead in his jail cell of an apparent suicide in 2019.
