Newly unsealed Epstein files are reigniting questions around what powerful people knew, when they knew it, and what they said behind closed doors — and a 2019 FBI interview is now adding a striking new layer to the public record involving President Donald Trump.
According to court documents reviewed by the Miami Herald, a former Palm Beach police chief described a 2006 phone call in which Trump allegedly reacted bluntly to the investigation of Jeffrey Epstein. The interview, conducted by the FBI in 2019 and only recently made public, reportedly involved former Palm Beach Police Chief Michael Reiter, though his name is redacted in the publicly released version of the document.
In that call, Trump allegedly told Reiter, “Thank goodness you’re stopping him, everyone has known he’s been doing this,” a statement that stands in contrast to Trump’s repeated public claims that he was unaware of Epstein’s alleged crimes while they were occurring.
The Miami Herald reported that Reiter confirmed both his identity and the timing of the call, stating it took place in 2006, as Epstein was coming under scrutiny by local authorities in Florida. The document states that Trump was “one of the very first people to call” law enforcement once word spread that Epstein was under investigation.
During the call, Trump reportedly distanced himself from Epstein, telling police he “got the hell out of there” whenever Epstein was around teenagers. He also allegedly warned authorities to focus their attention on Ghislaine Maxwell, describing her as Epstein’s “operative” and calling her “evil,” according to the document.
Trump further told investigators that “people in New York knew Epstein was disgusting,” reinforcing the idea that Epstein’s behavior was an open secret in certain elite social circles long before his arrest and eventual death in federal custody.
The newly surfaced claims arrive amid the Justice Department’s massive document release tied to the Epstein investigation. On Jan. 30, the DOJ made public roughly 3 million records under a federal transparency law, although the release came more than a month after a Dec. 19 deadline.

Should Trump's 2006 call about Epstein and Maxwell be viewed as a serious warning?— Derrick Evans (@DerrickEvans4WV) February 10, 2026
BREAKING: Unsealed court documents reveal Trump called the police about Jeffrey Epstein back in 2006.A New York Times review found Trump was referenced more than 38,000 times in the files, largely reflecting his past social relationship with Epstein. Trump once referred to Epstein as “the mysterious Jeffrey” in a 2004 interview, though he has said their relationship deteriorated in the early 2000s.
Trump has claimed the falling-out occurred after Epstein allegedly recruited employees from Trump’s Mar-a-Lago club. He has stated that Epstein sex trafficking accuser Virginia Giuffre worked at the club’s spa but said Epstein “stole her,” adding that she “had no complaints about us.” Mar-a-Lago has maintained that Epstein was banned from the property in 2007, with a source later telling Page Six that Epstein would “use the spa to try to procure girls.”
The records also detail Trump’s interactions with Maxwell, including photographs from social events and an anonymous victim’s account stating she was “presented” to Trump at a New York party. That same account noted that “nothing happened” between Trump and the accuser.
Beyond Trump, the Epstein files reference numerous prominent figures through emails, third-party accounts, and unverified claims. These include allegations made by Epstein about Bill Gates, which Gates’ foundation has categorically denied, and correspondence suggesting Epstein remained in contact with Commerce Secretary Howard Lutnick after his 2008 conviction. Lutnick has said he “spent zero time with him.”
The files also contain a 2002 email between Maxwell and a person identified as “Melania” discussing social plans in Palm Beach, though it remains unclear whether the reference was to First Lady Melania Trump.
Forbes reported it has reached out to the White House for comment on the newly highlighted statements. As the Epstein records continue to surface, the spotlight remains fixed on the contradictions, confirmations, and uncomfortable admissions buried in years of sealed testimony — and on the powerful figures whose names keep appearing in the margins.
