USA: WSJ, Epstein banned from Mar-a-Lago after complaint from an employee

Milan, 31 Dec. (LaPresse) – “Jeffrey Epstein was not only a frequent visitor to Donald Trump’s Mar-a-Lago club between the late 1990s and early 2000s. The club also sent spa employees, usually young women, to Epstein’s nearby villa for massages, manicures and other services.” This was revealed exclusively by the Wall Street Journal. The newspaper reports that the visits continued until 2003, when Epstein stopped going to the club after an 18-year-old beautician returning from his villa told club managers that she had been pressured to have sex. The Wall Street Journal reports that one of the managers sent a fax to Trump reporting the incident and urging him to ban Epstein from entering the club. Trump – again according to the Wall Street Journal’s report on what prompted Trump to ban Epstein from the Mar-a-Lago spa – replied that the letter was well written and that he could kick him out.
