Michael Reiter, a former Palm Beach police chief, described a 2006 conversation with Donald Trump to the F.B.I. years later, according to a newly released document.
After it became known that Jeffrey Epstein was under investigation in the 2000s, one of the first calls the Palm Beach police received was from Donald J. Trump, the local police chief at the time told the F.B.I. more than a decade later.
Mr. Trump reportedly told the chief, Michael Reiter, “Thank goodness you’re stopping him, everyone has known he’s been doing this,” according to a document recounting their conversation that is part of the tranche of Epstein files released by the Justice Department.
Mr. Trump said it was known in New York circles that Mr. Epstein was disgusting and suggested that the police also focus their investigation on Mr. Epstein’s associate Ghislaine Maxwell, according to the memo. “She is evil,” Mr. Trump reportedly said.

Robert Maxwell was Ghislaines father. Who allegedly had KGB connection.

As much as he was rumored to be an Isreali spy

Who are you defending here? It’s a known fact that the Epstien’s were well connected and into intel gathering and blackmail. Massad and KGB spies are in the same business. Against the west.

I am defending no one, but I do think it's interesting that Isreal was omitted while Russian ties were highlighted. Also Isreal is the West, in the same way France is even if they have spies attempting to influence the US.

Why is that interesting more to you than their ties with Russia? Both can be true while one not being spoken about. In the broader context sure, it’s the west. Whatever.

So then there's a copy of the report of the original phone call the sheriff made to the FBI after having that conversation, right?
