Trump says he believes Jeffrey Epstein 'stole' Virginia Giuffre from his Mar-a-Lago resort spa

President Donald Trump on Tuesday told reporters that he believes Jeffrey Epstein's most prominent accuser, Virginia Giuffre, was among the former Mar-a-Lago employees that the late financier "stole" from his resort. 

Giuffre, who committed suicide in April, has been credited by other Epstein accusers with inspiring them to speak out about their own experiences with the convicted felon. Epstein died in prison in 2019, while awaiting trial on multiple sex-trafficking charges.

Trump spoke out about his fallout with the late financier over the weekend as his administration faces blowback from lawmakers and supporters regarding its handling of Epstein's alleged client list. The president claimed the falling out was over Epstein stealing employees from his Florida resort.

"He took people that worked for me. And I told him, 'Don’t do it anymore.' And he did it," Trump said. "I said, 'Stay the hell out of here.'"

Trump confirmed that the employees were young women who worked in the club's spa, including Giuffre. The accuser previously said she met Epstein associate Ghislaine Maxwell while working at the resort as a teenager, per NBC News.

"I told him, I said, 'Listen, we don’t want you taking our people, whether it was spa or not spa.' ... And he was fine. And then not too long after that, he did it again," Trump said. "I think [Giuffre] worked at the spa. I think so. I think that was one of the people. He stole her, and by the way, she had no complaints about us, as you know, none whatsoever."

The president's comments are true that Giuffre has never accused Trump of wrongdoing, but she has sued Prince Andrew, alleging she was sexually abused by him when she was a teenager. The British prince has denied the allegations but settled the lawsuit in 2022.
