Palm Beach, FL — Tensions flared at a recent fundraiser when former President Donald Trump lost his temper after being asked about his past ties to Jeffrey Epstein.
During the Q&A session, a reporter asked, “Do you regret your past association with Jeffrey Epstein?”
Trump immediately shot back:
“Are you still talking about that guy?! That’s old news. Fake news. I haven’t spoken to him in years before anything happened. Don’t waste people’s time.”
The crowd erupted in support, but the moment was tense. Trump has previously admitted knowing Epstein socially but claims they had a falling out long before Epstein’s arrest.
Critics argue the question is still relevant due to lingering public interest and released flight logs. But Trump made it clear he’s done addressing it.
“The media is obsessed with a man who’s been gone for years,” he said. “Focus on what’s happening in this country right now.”
The clip has since gone viral, reigniting debate — but Trump’s stance? Case closed.
