Trump claimed that he banned Epstein from his Mar-a-Lago resort after Epstein repeatedly poached employees from his spa. While Trump acknowledged his association with Epstein, he insisted the fallout was due to Epstein taking his staff, not related to Epstein&#8217;s criminal activities.

The article also mentions Attorney General Pam Bondi&#8217;s previous promise to <a href=\"https:\/\/www.conservativenewsdaily.net\/breaking-news\/mich-ag-closes-larry-nassar-inquiry-after-msu-refuses-to-release-documents-related-to-case\/\" title=\"Mich.
