Donald Trump visited Jeffrey Epstein regularly at his Palm Beach mansion, Epstein's housekeeper testified - but never had massages or stayed the night, and always ate his meals with the staff in the kitchen.
Juan Alessi's 2009 deposition was made public on Friday as part of the third tranche of documents released by a Manhattan judge. The documents formed part of a 2015 defamation case filed by one of Epstein's victims, Virginia Roberts-Giuffre, against Epstein's right-hand woman, Ghislaine Maxwell.
Alessi, who worked for Epstein from around 1990 until 2002, was asked whether Trump - whose Mar-a-Lago home is less than two miles from Epstein's waterfront compound - ever stayed the night.
'No, never,' replied Alessi.
Alessi continued: 'He would come, have dinner. He never sat at the table. He eat with me in the kitchen.'
The lawyer asked Alessi whether Trump ever had massages at Epstein's house.
'No. Because he's got his own spa,' Alessi replied.
Trump has never been accused of any wrongdoing, and he and Epstein fell out in 2004 over a Palm Beach real estate deal.
But the two men were close for well over a decade, with Epstein's infamous 'black book' containing 16 phone numbers for Trump.
Trump, who had divorced his first wife Ivana in 1990, organized in 1992 a “calendar girl” competition at Mar-a-Lago, with 28 female contestants.
The organizer, George Houraney, who ran American Dream Enterprise, was shocked to learn there were only two male guests - Trump and Epstein.
In November 1992, Trump threw a raucous party with NFL cheerleaders at his Mar-a-Lago estate, and invited Epstein.
By February 2000, Trump had met Melania Knauss, and when he staged a pro-am tennis tournament at Mar-a-Lago he was photographed with Epstein, Maxwell, and Knauss.

I’m not sure I believe this, but if true, Trump probably ate with the staff because he wanted to hear from the staff about the comings and goings of people. Sounds almost as if he was doing some surveillance.
Probably more along the lines that Trump was willing to do business with him, so he kept in touch, but then broke it off when he realized that Epstein was all hat and no cattle.
Or perhaps he was getting information on Epstein’s activities.
Next thing you know they’ll be saying Trump was banging the housekeeper, instead of Trump feeling more comfortable around ordinary people who weren’t expecting anything from him, or hitting him up for favors. I don’t think Donald Trump was ever the type of guy who asked anyone for favors, because he didn’t want to have to be in the position of having to return them, which could possibly put him in a difficult position. He wasn’t someone who wanted to be beholden to anyone. He couldn’t be bought, and when that became apparent during his Presidency, it was one of the reasons they had to get rid of him.
I wonder if the turd rollers at the daily mail have any proof or are they just agitating again.
What is with the sudden use of the word, ‘tranche’? I’ve never even heard of this word before and it’s also used in the other Daily Mail article about Hilary Clinton being named in the Epstein papers.
Curious that nobody from the SC was named, nor that anyone from the Obama Admin was named, including Biden.
Tranche
Must have come up while playing Scrabble, seven letter word.
This doesn’t sound like Trump.
A couple months after Epstein died, his lawyers told a New York City judge that his estate was valued at $550 million.
He was a math prodigy.
He was teaching math at an elite prep school, after dropping out of college. The father of one his students was a well known financial guy who hired Epstein. A few years later Epstein started his own investment firm and only accepted billionaire clients. Apparently, Epstein designed several major deals and was paid as a junior partner. From there, he never looked back, more as a deal maker than a stock picker.
When word about the size of his estate leaked out, at least 20 new lawsuits were filed, all women, all claiming they had been sexually abused by Epstein, most of them in the 1990s.
You are assuming he owned the title to his properties. I don’t make that assumption myself. If he’s an intelligent asset, they are going to pay him far less then what he claimed to be worth in order to own the property.
As I said, I think his operation was well beyond what a single man could create. There is a huge operation in the shadows that were giving him operational support.
Which could mean that Juan’s title of “housekeeper” could just be a cover.
Like Higgins. :)
It goes without saying that the crooked media will make everything Epstein-related about Trump.
It doesn’t make sense Trump would go to Epstein”s just have a meal with the house keeper. Was there something special about this house keeper or is the story false?
I'm familiar with the word but it is rarely used here. Probably used more in Britain.
It's like a lot of Britishisms that suddenly start getting used over here.
Spot on
Jab (Anyone here use jab instead of shot before 3 years ago?)
Going to hospital or going to university
I guess it makes the user sound intelligent. Hell, we're even getting roundabouts here now.
The first two tranches were fantastic Bur this tranche is bullsheet.
People can’t see that there is a war going on in the Democrat party.
It all makes sense when you realize that they didn’t just accidentally “forget” to cheat in 2016.
