Maria Farmer, an artist and early accuser of Jeffrey Epstein and Ghislaine Maxwell, has come forward with disturbing claims involving Donald Trump. According to The New York Times, Farmer recalled a “troubling encounter” in the 1990s inside Epstein’s New York office, where she said Trump began “hovering over her” and staring at her bare legs.
She alleged that Epstein entered the room and told Trump, “No, no. She’s not here for you.” As the two men left, she claimed to have overheard Trump say he believed she was only 16 years old.
Farmer and her sister Annie testified in Ghislaine Maxwell’s 2021 trial and told the FBI multiple times — in 1996 and again in 2006 — to investigate Epstein’s circle, which included powerful figures like Trump and Bill Clinton. She expressed concerns over Epstein’s predatory behavior and the protection he received from elite connections.
The White House responded through communications director Steven Cheung, stating, “The president was never in [Epstein’s] office,” and claiming Trump expelled Epstein from Mar-a-Lago for inappropriate behavior.
Despite Trump’s attempts to distance himself from Epstein — especially following the financier’s 2019 suicide in jail — questions remain. The FBI and DOJ have refused to release Epstein’s full records, denying the existence of a so-called “client list.”
Although Trump has ordered the release of some grand jury testimony, experts believe it won’t fully satisfy the public’s demand for transparency regarding Epstein’s crimes and connections.
Farmer’s resurfaced testimony adds further scrutiny to Trump’s long-denied ties to Epstein.
