Jeffrey Epstein described himself as Donald Trump’s “closest friend” and claimed intimate
knowledge of his proclivity for sex, including cuckolding his best friends, according to
recordings obtained exclusively by the Daily Beast.
The convicted pedophile even boasted of his closeness to Trump and his now-wife Melania
by claiming, “the first time he slept with her was on my plane,” which was dubbed the Lolita
Express.
Epstein spoke at length about Trump with the author Michael Wolff in August 2017, two
years before being found dead in his jail cell. Wolff was researching his bombshell bestseller
Fire and Fury at the time.
The recordings cast more light on Trump’s long relationship with Epstein, and will add to
debate over the character of the Republican candidate, especially his attitudes and conduct
toward women, just days before the election.
The tapes tell Epstein’s version of the relationship between two former friends and their very
different paths: One toward infamy, prison and suicide; the other toward power, the Oval
Office and his own criminal conviction for paying hush money to a porn star.
Trump’s camp referred to the tapes’ release as “false smears” and “election interference.”
The tapes also offer unusual insight into the friendship of two wealthy, powerful men who
frequently went out on the town together, prowling for women in New York and Atlantic City.

Epstein painted a complicated portrait of Trump. He called
him “charming,” and “always fun,” capable of extraordinary
salesmanship, and suggested he was personally in favor of
Trump’s policies on“the transgender stuff.” But he alleged
Trump was a serial cheat in his marriages and loved to “f---
the wives of his best friends.”
He also claimed that while Trump has friends, he was at heart a friendless man incapable of
kindness.
