President Donald Trump is drawing attention based on an old statement about Jeffrey Epstein that might not look so good in light of the latters reported arrest over the weekend.
Multiple reports stated that the financier and convicted sex offender was arrested on Saturday night amid federal charges of sex trafficking dozens of minors. The arrest prompted renewed attention on Epsteins connections to Trump and Bill Clinton, and in terms of the current president, Trump biographer Tim OBrien has turned heads by resurrecting this old quote POTUS offered when New York Magazine profiled Epstein back in 2002.

USA Today has described Epsteins affiliations with Trump and Clinton in the past, saying the financier socialized with Trump before the 2016 election and Clinton often flew in Epsteins plane and visited his island.
Theres no evidence that Trump was involved with this, but since Epstein has been spotted with the president at Mar-a-Lago in the past, it might be interesting to note that some of the allegations against Epstein stem from a Mar-a-Lago locker room attendant who claims his former girlfriend recruited her for his sex trafficking ring in 1999.
