Donald Trump told reporters on Air Force One that he broke with Jeffrey Epstein, the late sex offender he socialized with for more than a decade, after he hired young, female spa attendants away from Mar-a-Lago, including Virginia Giuffre, who became one of Epstein’s most prominent accusers.

Trump was asked to elaborate on his claim, on Monday in Scotland, that he kicked Epstein out of his club “because he did something that was inappropriate”, specifically “he stole people that worked for me”. On the flight back to Washington from Scotland on Tuesday, one reporter asked Trump if “the workers that were taken from you, were some of them young women?”
