Donald Trump today sensationally claimed he never had the ‘privilege’ of visiting Jeffrey Epstein’s home on what has been dubbed ‘pedophile island’.
In an astonishing rant at the Trump Turnberry golf resort, the President said he wasn’t ‘overly interested’ in the Epstein files before later insisting anything damaging to him personally would have already been exposed by his political enemies.
Trump also provided an update on Ghislaine Maxwell amid reports the British socialite could be angling for a pardon in exchange for co-operation over the files which have damaged the President’s relationship with his MAGA following.
The US President has met UK Prime Minsiter Sir Keir Starmer for talks at his Trump Turnberry golf resort in Ayrshire, Scotland, on the last full day of his trip to Britain.
Speaking outside the golf club with Sir Keir and his wife Victoria, Trump said the escalating crisis in Gaza was ‘one of the main reasons’ for the meeting as there was a ‘a lot of starving people’.
When asked about Russia, Trump added he was ‘very disappointed’ with President Vladimir Putin and suggested a 50-day ultimatum to agree a peace deal may be shortened.
