A Jeffrey Epstein accuser said she warned the Federal Bureau of Investigations (FBI) twice to look into Donald Trump’s relationship with the disgraced financier and alleged sex trafficker.
Maria Farmer said that she encouraged the FBI to look into the people in Epstein’s orbit, including Trump, when she spoke to investigators in 1996 to report that she had been sexually assaulted by Epstein and Ghislaine Maxwell. She mentioned Trump to investigators again in 2006, The New York Times reports.
Farmer described an incident that took place late one night in Epstein’s office in 1995 as she was preparing to work for him.
Farmer told the Times that she unexpectedly received a late night call from Epstein to come to his office. She arrived in running shorts shortly before Trump.
She said when Trump arrived he “hovered over her” and she “felt scared” as he stared at her legs.
Epstein then entered the room, and she recalled him telling Trump: “No, no. She’s not here for you.”
Trump and Epstein then left the office and Farmer recalled hearing Trump saying that he thought she was 16 years old.
White House Communications Director Steven Cheung denied Farmer’s account in a statement to the Times.
“The president was never in his office,” Cheung said. “The fact is that the president kicked him out of his club for being a creep.”
