Epstein’s Ex Says He And Trump Had A ‘Very Close’ Friendship And Were ‘Up To No Good’ [1]
[]
Date: 2025-07
A former Sports Illustrated model who was romantically involved with convicted sex offender Jeffrey Epstein claimed Friday that her ex and President Donald Trump were quite close, adding more to the ongoing controversy surrounding the Epstein files.
“They were best friends,” Stacey Williams told CNN host Brianna Keilar on Friday night. “I dated Jeffrey for a period of more or less, I think about four or five months, and the only friend that he would mention every time we saw each other or had a phone conversation was Donald.”
Trump and his administration recently faced scrutiny over their handling of Epstein’s sex abuse case after building up hype for the files’ release — only for the Department of Justice and FBI to say there was no evidence Epstein was murdered in jail, nor did he have a so-called “client list.”

Those findings triggered a shift in the MAGA base, as many of Trump’s supporters began to turn against him and the administration. Since then, Trump has tried to distance himself from the Epstein case, even calling his supporters “stupid” and “foolish” for speculating about it.
Williams told Keilar on Friday that Trump was Epstein’s “bro” and “his wingman,” claiming the two were “very close and they were up to no good.”
Williams previously came out with a bombshell accusation against the president during his campaign in October, claiming Trump had groped her in 1993 during an encounter facilitated by Epstein himself.

White House press secretary Karoline Leavitt denied William’s accusations last year, saying “it’s obvious this fake story was contrived by the Harris campaign.”

However, Williams revisited that encounter on Friday.
“You know when that happens in broad daylight in someone’s office and an assistant is walking back and forth, you’re in shock,” Williams told Keilar.
The president has sued reporters of The Wall Street Journal for publishing the contents of a lewd birthday card he allegedly sent Epstein in 2003, featuring a drawing of a naked woman and a message that read “Happy Birthday — and may every day be another wonderful secret.”
Trump called the message fake, claiming he never “wrote a picture” in his life and that he doesn’t “draw pictures of women.”

“It’s not my language. It’s not my words,” the president said.
According to Williams, that birthday card was not out of character for the Epstein-Trump duo.
“Are you kidding me? I know what they were up to together. It happened to me. I was polygraphed. I have the post-assault postcard with a love note,” Williams said. “So I have the receipts. Where are Donald Trump’s receipts? Where are they? I know what they were up to together, and I know what that means. It’s very clear. It wasn’t baking or fishing.”
