Trump cut ties with Epstein because he stole from him.

US President Donald Trump revealed Monday that he cut ties with Jeffrey Epstein because the businessman "stole" his employees. Trump even said he kicked Epstein out of his Mar-a-Lago club after he recruited people to work for Trump, The Telegraph reports.

"I didn't speak to Jeffrey Epstein for years because he did something inappropriate. He 'stole' from people who worked for me . I said, 'Don't ever do that again.' And he did it again, and I kicked him out, persona non grata . And I kicked him out, that's it," the US president told reporters at his golf club in Turnberry, Scotland.

Virginia Roberts Giuffre, one of Epstein's victims, alleged she was recruited and forced to give the businessman sexual massages while working at the Florida resort .

Donald Trump and Jeffrey Epstein had a relationship since the 1980s, when they met in the most affluent circles of New York and Florida. They shared a taste for luxury and women. There are even rumors that it was the tycoon who introduced Trump to his third and current wife, Melania, an allegation the first lady denies.

The close relationship between the two reportedly ended in 2004, due to a dispute over the purchase of a property in Palm Beach, Florida—in which Trump ultimately prevailed. However, neither Trump nor Epstein has ever spoken publicly about the reasons for their separation.

Now, the US President, questioned once again about his relationship with Epstein (who has since been convicted of sexual exploitation of minors), has revealed that he cut ties with the tycoon because he was 'stealing' workers from him.

Also in Scotland, Trump asserted that he "never had the privilege" of visiting Jeffrey Epstein's island, revealing that he declined an invitation from the businessman to travel to the location, located in the British Virgin Islands. " I never had the privilege of going to his island . I declined, but many people in Palm Beach were invited to his island," Trump said. "In one of my very good moments, I declined. I didn't want to go to his island," Trump emphasized.

The president also again criticized the "sick" Democratic Party, suggesting that former President Bill Clinton and others visited Little Saint James, also known as "Epstein Island," where much of Epstein's sexual abuse occurred.

Hours after the crime, the police will find the killer of Issam Sartawi, the Palestinian leader killed in the lobby of an Albufeira hotel. But they will also discover that he is not who he claims to be. "1983: Portugal à Queima-Poupa" is the story of the year two international terrorist groups attacked Portugal. A paramilitary commando stormed an embassy in Lisbon, and this summary execution in the Algarve shook the Middle East. It is narrated by actress Victoria Guerra, with an original soundtrack by Linda Martini.
