Trump Denies Accusations And “Fully Retracted Claims” From Epstein Victim
Trump slams ‘baseless accusations’ and ‘fully retracted’ claims from Epstein victim Sarah Ransome that he had sex with ‘many girls’ after he was named in latest batch of documents

Latest release includes Trump sex claim by alleged victim who later retracted it
Former President Donald Trump is firing back at ‘baseless’ accusations leveled by an alleged Jeffrey Epstein victim who claims he had sex with a friend of hers at Epstein’s Manhattan townhouse.
‘These baseless accusations have been fully retracted because they are simply false and have no merit,’ said Trump spokesman Steven Cheung Monday, amid the latest document release related to the Epstein case.
The statement blasting the unsubstantiated accusations came after the release of emails containing the accusations from Epstein victim Sarah Ransome back in 2016.
She made similar claims about former President Bill Clinton and billionaire Richard Branson, but later retracted them and claims she ‘invented’ the claim she had tapes to back up her claims.
Trump’s name resurfaced days after his campaign said that an earlier release of documents from a suit related to Epstein had ‘thoroughly debunked’ claims he had an inappropriate relationship with the pedophile financier.

Ransome claimed in 2016 that Trump had sexual relations with ‘many girls,’ according to the documents. She described an unidentified friend, who she said was ‘one of the many girls that had sexual relations with Donald Trump.’
Trump and Epstein were friends in the 1990s. He flew on Epstein’s plane, dubbed the ‘Lolita Express’ at least four times and called him a ‘terrific guy’ in a media interview.
Trump has not been accused of crimes or wrongdoing. The documents stem from former alleged Epstein victim Virginia Giuffre’s lawsuit against Ghislaine Maxwell, who has been convicted of trafficking underage girls on behalf of Epstein.
In another document release from the suit, former Epstein butler Juan Alessi told lawyers that he had dinner with Trump at Epstein’s mansion in Palm Beach, which is located close to Trump’s Mar-a-Lago home. But he also responded ‘no’ when asked if Trump ever got massages while he was there.
Epstein kept blackmail videos that showed Clinton, Trump, and Branson having sex with women he supplied them with, according to the latest bombshell claims in newly-unsealed court documents.
In the latest dump of papers – made public on Monday – are emails sent by Ransome to DailyMail.com columnist Maureen Callahan in 2016. At the time, Callahan worked for The New York Post and was reporting on Epstein.
She retracted all her claims, telling Callahan she wanted to ‘walk away from this’, citing fears for her family.
In 2019, The New Yorker said Ransome admitted to ‘inventing’ the tapes.
It is claimed that Epstein filmed each of these sexual encounters – and that the woman involved also obtained copies of the tapes.
No such footage has ever been publicly uncovered. The FBI is now under pressure to release hundreds of items of evidence that was photographed during a raid on Epstein’s mansion in 2019 but that was never seized.
