Trump on Epstein Pedo Island: ""I wasn't. I was never there. Somebody will someday say that, but I was never there."

Asked if he was aware that Lutnick had visited Epstein’s private island, Trump, 79, told reporters on Thursday: “No, I wasn’t aware of it.”

“I actually haven’t spoken to him about it,” the president added, “but from what I hear, he was there with his wife and children, and I guess in some cases, some people were.”

Trump continued: “I wasn’t. I was never there. Somebody will someday say that, but I was never there.”

Lutnick, the 64-year-old billionaire former head of investment firm Cantor Fitzgerald, used to live next to Epstein’s townhouse mansion on Manhattan’s East 71st Street.

That does not mean, however, that he is telling the truth.

Just that the issue of him visiting Pedo Island is a red herring -- he was a longstanding intimate associate of Epstein regardless of location.

That's completely meaningless. He lived a couple miles away from Epstein in Both New York and Palm Beach and spent tons of time together with him at both places as documented in hundreds of pictures and many videos.
