Donald Trump Suggests Jeffrey Epstein Might Have Been Killed
In a new interview, Donald Trump suggested that accused child sex trafficker Jeffrey Epstein might have been killed in jail instead of having committed suicide. He made those shocking comments while also defending his well wishes to Epstein’s alleged accomplice, Ghislaine Maxwell.

During his sit-down with Jonathan Swan of Axios, the President was reminded that Maxwell now faces charges related to alleged sexual abuse of children by investor Epstein. “First of all, I don’t know that,” he replied to the reporter. “But I do know that her friend or boyfriend [Epstein] was either killed or committed suicide in jail,” Trump said of the Maxwell and added, “She’s now in jail.”
As we previously reported, Epstein died in a New York prison cell in August 2019, aged 66. The disgraced financier and convicted sex offender was facing further charges in relation to trafficking and abuse of minors. Maxwell was taken into custody last month for her alleged role and Trump wished her well on 21 July, after prosecutors announced that she had been detained.
While speaking about her, Trump said:
“Yeah, I wish her well. I’d wish you well, I’d wish a lot of people well,” he told Swan. “Good luck, let them prove somebody was guilty.”
President Trump’s relationship with Epstein has come under increasing scrutiny in recent months. The two men had been apart of the same social circles for years. Trump had socialized with both Epstein and Maxwell in the past with other other high-profile friends including former President Bill Clinton and Britain’s Prince Andrew. Despite the crimes that Epstein and Maxwell have been accused of, Trump has stated that he has nothing to do with any of it.
Ms Maxwell has pleaded not guilty to the charges.
