New Epstein documents released by the Department of Justice appear to debunk the left-wing narrative that President Donald Trump was close with deceased pedophile Jeffrey Epstein.
The new documents contain a 2019 FBI report that was produced during an interview with a former Palm Beach police chief who’d investigated Epstein in the mid-2000s.
According to the Miami Herald, which broke the story, former chief Michael Reiter told the FBI that he’d received a call from Trump in 2006 thanking him for his work pursuing Epstein.
“Thank goodness you’re stopping him — everyone has known he’s been doing this,” Trump said to Reiter.
The call was made around the time that the authorities first began investigating Epstein after he was accused of molesting a 14-year-old girl.
The radical Democrats, Thomas Massie, and MTG have spent the last year trying to link President Trump to Jeffrey Epstein.

Trump also outed Ghislaine Maxwell, who’s currently in prison for being Epstein’s madam, as Epstein’s “operative” and said that “she is evil” and that Reiter should focus his investigation on her.
Reiter himself told the FBI in 2019 that Trump “was around Epstein once when teenagers were present” and that he immediately “got the hell out of there.”
Reiter also said that Trump had admitted to once throwing Epstein out of Mar-a-Lago.
And finally, Reiter said that Trump was one of the first people to call him about Epstein after word spread that he and his team were investigating him.
According to ABC News, the former chief made headlines in 2006 when he publicly slammed a local prosecutor for taking Epstein’s case to a grand jury instead of directly charging him.
“Reiter apologized to the victims for the way the case had been handled by the prosecutor and then coordinated with federal authorities to launch another investigation into Epstein, which ultimately ended in Epstein’s non-prosecution agreement in 2008,” the network notes.
Imagine that they’ve been lying all along. God bless Donald J Trump thanks for this post it’s a biggie. What say you now Democrats can you apologize probably not but djt has more Integrity in his little finger than the whole Democrat Party right now! https://t.co/H56ztJTghJ

All this said, some unnamed FBI official has denied the legitimacy of Reiter’s claims.
“We are not aware of any corroborating evidence that the President contacted law enforcement 20 years ago,” the official told the Herald.
All this comes amid Maxwell “testifying” before the House Oversight Committee. Unfortunately, her “testimony” involved her simply pleading the Fifth Amendment over and over again.
But there was a catch.
“She invoked her Fifth Amendment right not to testify before the committee, although her lawyer noted that she is ‘prepared to speak fully and honestly if granted clemency by President Trump,'” according to the Herald.
Some folks suspect she’s gunning for a pardon from the president, although thus far he has not given an hint that he intends to cut her any sort of break.
The whole world was waiting for a confession.
For names. For truth. For justice.And what did Ghislaine Maxwell do?
Took the Fifth.
Played silence-for-leverage.
Offered “truth” only in exchange for clemency.If that’s not how power protects itself, what is? pic.twitter.com/4rwsGvPPhb

Maxwell recently filed a legal petition claiming that her trial was unfair.
“Jeffrey Epstein’s former girlfriend and longtime associate Ghislaine Maxwell asked a federal judge on Wednesday to set aside her sex trafficking conviction and free her from a 20-year prison sentence, saying ‘substantial new evidence’ has emerged proving that constitutional violations spoiled her trial,” Fortune magazine reported in December.
“Maxwell maintained in a habeas petition she has promised to file since August that information that would have resulted in her exoneration at her 2021 trial was withheld and false testimony was presented to the jury,” the reporting continued.
