Teh piece reports that an FBI document from 2019 alleges Donald Trump called a Palm Beach police chief in 2006 too thank him for “stopping” Jeffrey Epstein,whose crimes had become public. According to the report, Trump commented on Epstein’s reputation in New York and referred to Epstein’s associate, Ghislaine Maxwell, as Epstein’s operative, while saying that people in New York knew Epstein was “repulsive.” The FBI file indicates that Trump claimed he had thrown Epstein out of Mar-a-Lago and told the chief, “thank goodness you’re stopping him.” The Palm Beach chief’s name was later revealed to be Michael Reiter, and the report notes that the claims would contradict Trump’s July 2019 denial of knowing about Epstein’s sex crimes. An FBI employee later said there was no corroborating evidence that Trump contacted Reiter. The article also touches on Epstein’s and Maxwell’s wider network, and mentions Prince Andrew’s presence in Palm Beach, alongside related stories.
‘Thank goodness you’re stopping him’ Trump allegedly told Palm Beach police about Epstein
A 2019 FBI report revealed that President Donald Trump allegedly called a Palm Beach, Florida, police chief to express gratitude to a Palm Beach, Florida, police chief in 2006 for “stopping” Jeffrey Epstein, after the disgraced financier and convicted sex offender’s crimes became public. Trump made the comments in 2006, long before his foray into politics and presidential run. He allegedly told the police chief that everyone knew Epstein “has been doing this.”
“Mar-A-Lago is a mixture of everyone,” read the report. “Donald Trump told [redacted] that he threw Epstein out of his club. Trump called the PBPD and told him ‘thank goodness you’re stopping him, everyone has known he’s been doing this.”
The report was based on a phone conversation Trump allegedly had in October 2019 with a Palm Beach police chief at the time, whose name was redacted, the Miami Herald reported. The report was filed in April 2020, and the chief’s name was revealed to be Michael Reiter years later.
Trump also spoke about Epstein’s reputation in New York City, New York, and his former girlfriend and trafficking accomplice, Ghislaine Maxwell. He called her Epstein’s “operative.”
“Trump told him people in New York knew Epstein was disgusting,” read the FBI report. “Trump said Maxwell was Epstein’s operative.”
“She is evil, focus on her,” Trump allegedly told Reiter.
“Trump told [redacted] that he was around Epstein once when teenagers were present and Trump ‘got the hell out of there,’” read the report. “Trump was one of the first people to call when people found out that they were investigating Epstein.”
The report also discussed Prince Andrew’s presence at Palm Beach, stating that “he was a fixture in Palm Beach and he had no protection while there.”
Trump’s alleged statements in the report would appear to contradict his earlier claims from July 2019, when he denied knowing anything about Epstein’s sex crimes against underage girls.

“No, I had no idea,” Trump said at the time. “I had no idea.”
Trump’s alleged 2006 phone call, along with the 2019 report, had previously gone unreported.
An FBI employee claimed that Trump had not called Reiter in 2006, according to the Miami Herald.
“We are not aware of any corroborating evidence that the President contacted law enforcement 20 years ago,” said the FBI.
