Episode Details

New FBI documents reveal that in July 2006, Trump called Palm Beach Police Chief Michael Reiter to discuss Jeffrey Epstein's activities with minors. Trump told the chief "everyone knew" what Epstein was doing with teenage girls and described Ghislaine Maxwell as "evil." This FBI 302 interview report from October 2019 contradicts Trump's repeated denials about having knowledge of Epstein's crimes. The Miami Herald investigation by journalist Julie K. Brown uncovered this previously unreported phone call between Trump and Palm Beach police during the initial Epstein investigation. Chief Reiter's interview details how the case developed in 2005 when a 14-year-old victim came forward, leading to surveillance of Epstein's Palm Beach home where police observed underage girls with backpacks and braces.

The investigation faced obstacles when US Attorney Alex Acosta gave Epstein a controversial plea deal in 2007 despite evidence involving nearly 40 underage victims. The original 53-count federal indictment would have resulted in 240 years to multiple life sentences, but Epstein served only 13 months in county jail with work release privileges. Palm Beach police referred the case to federal authorities in 2006, and Trump was among the first to contact police when news broke about the Epstein investigation.

The FBI documents show Trump admitted being around Epstein when teenagers were present, directly contradicting his 2019 statement claiming he had no knowledge of Epstein molesting girls. Detective Joe Recarey led the Palm Beach investigation until his death in 2018, and boxes of evidence from his home were turned over to the FBI in 2019, leading to renewed federal charges against Epstein before his death in prison.
