Documents contradict Trump's public version.
Mar-a-Lago records
According to revelations published by The Daily Beast, internal Mar-a-Lago records show that Jeffrey Epstein remained an official member of Donald Trump's private club until October 2007, more than a year after his indictment for sex crimes against minors.
The first accusations
These documents contradict the public version often put forward by Trump, according to which Epstein was expelled from Mar-a-Lago even before the first accusations were made against him, in 2006.
Virginia Giuffre
In his most recent explanations, Trump claims that he took this decision after Epstein "stole" employees from his spa on two occasions. He finally admitted that Virginia Giuffre, one of the main victims of the Epstein network, was one of these employees.she had previously claimed to have been recruited by Epstein's accomplice Ghislaine Maxwell, while working at Mar-a-Lago.
Behind the scenes at Mar-a-Lago
According to The Grifter's Club, a behind-the-scenes look at Mar-a-Lago, the authors consulted a membership list indicating that Epstein's account wasn't closed until October 2007, seven years after Trump claimed he "stole" Giuffre from him.
Ghislaine Maxwell
Virginia Giuffre, who died by suicide last April at the age of 41, had claimed to have been employed as a spa assistant at the Mar-a-Lago club in 2000, at just aged just 16, before being approached by Ghislaine Maxwell, who allegedly recruited her to supposedly work and travel alongside Jeffrey Epstein "around the world".
