George Houraney, a Florida businessman who arranged the event, told the Times in 2019 he was surprised when he saw the guest list. “I said, ‘Donald, this is supposed to be a party with V.I.P.s,’” Houraney said. “‘You’re telling me it’s you and Epstein?’” Jill Harth, Houraney’s then-girlfriend, later accused Trump of forcibly kissing her and fondling her, and keeping her from leaving the same night of the party.
The report comes as the president is facing mounting pressure to release all files related to the Epstein case-- to which Trump has desperately responded by calling it the “Jeffrey Epstein hoax.”
In June, Elon Musk wrote on social media that Trump is listed in the Epstein files and that’s why they haven’t been made public. More and more, people are coming to the same conclusion.
The New York Times’ report published Saturday details the friendship between the two men, dating back to 1990 when they first met. The two had a falling out in 2004 after they both wanted a piece of real estate. But in the 20-plus years in between, the two men socialized together in both New York and Florida at parties, including a Victoria’s Secret “Angels” party and a party with NFL cheerleaders.
In 2002, Trump told New York Magazine that Epstein was a “terrific guy.” “I’ve known Jeff for 15 years. Terrific guy,” Trump said. “He’s a lot of fun to be with. It is even said that he likes beautiful women as much as I do, and many of them are on the younger side. No doubt about it — Jeffrey enjoys his social life.”
