Trump on Epstein Pedo Island: ""I wasn't. I was never there. Somebody will someday say that, but I was never there." [View all]

Asked if he was aware that Lutnick had visited Epstein’s private island, Trump, 79, told reporters on Thursday: “No, I wasn’t aware of it.”

“I actually haven’t spoken to him about it,” the president added, “but from what I hear, he was there with his wife and children, and I guess in some cases, some people were.”

Trump continued: “I wasn’t. I was never there. Somebody will someday say that, but I was never there.”

Lutnick, the 64-year-old billionaire former head of investment firm Cantor Fitzgerald, used to live next to Epstein’s townhouse mansion on Manhattan’s East 71st Street.
