Former President Donald Trump told the Palm Beach police chief in 2006 that "everyone" knew about Jeffrey Epstein's behavior, according to an FBI document released as part of the Epstein files. The document, a record of a 2019 interview with the former police chief, details a phone call Trump made after the department launched an investigation into Epstein.
The former Palm Beach police chief, Michael Reiter, received a call from Trump in 2006, according to the FBI document. Trump reportedly said, "Thank goodness you're stopping him, everyone has known he's been doing this." Trump also suggested the police focus their investigation on Epstein's associate Ghislaine Maxwell, whom he described as "evil," according to the memo. The details of the conversation were released as part of a tranche of Epstein files by the Justice Department.
The BBC reported that the document is a written record of a 2019 FBI interview with the former Palm Beach police chief. Trump was once friendly with Epstein but says he cut off ties before Epstein's first criminal conviction, according to BBC World.
