New York – December 21, 2025 – A New York Times investigation has revealed startling details about the deep friendship between President Donald Trump and the late convicted sex offender Jeffrey Epstein, portraying their relationship as one intensely focused on the pursuit of women and sexual conquests.
In a major report published on December 18, Times investigative reporter Nicholas Confessore, along with contributors, detailed how Trump and Epstein bonded in the late 1980s and 1990s over shared interests in ego-driven competition for female attention. “These two men were chasing women and chasing sex all the time,” Confessore said in a subsequent MSNBC interview, describing their dynamic as far more complicated than mere “playboys.”
The Times interviewed over 30 former Epstein employees, abuse survivors, and associates, uncovering accounts of frequent phone calls where Trump allegedly shared tales of sexual exploits, sometimes on speakerphone. One former assistant recalled Epstein putting Trump on the line to boast about conquests, using the conversations to impress others. Neither man drank alcohol or used drugs, but “they pursued women in a game of ego and dominance,” the report stated, with female bodies treated as “currency.”
Documents and interviews painted a picture of intense socializing. Epstein claimed Trump was his “closest friend for 10 years,” and the pair threw parties with young models, often sourced through agencies. Trump owned the Miss Universe pageant and Trump Model Management, while Epstein leveraged connections to Ghislaine Maxwell. One woman told the Times she attended parties where Trump was present, though no accusations linked him directly to Epstein’s trafficking crimes.
Epstein reportedly bragged about “giving” Trump women and sent modeling cards like a “menu.” In one anecdote, Trump allegedly walked into a glass door while fixated on young women swimming in Epstein’s pool. Handwritten notes from Epstein’s assistants showed regular calls with Trump, underscoring his constant presence.
President Trump has long minimized the relationship, calling Epstein a “terrific guy” in 2002 but later claiming they fell out and barely socialized. The White House dismissed the report as old news amid ongoing Epstein file releases, which have been heavily redacted and delayed under Trump’s Justice Department.
The bombshell comes as partial Epstein documents, released Friday, featured few Trump mentions but sparked bipartisan backlash over redactions and removed files, including one showing Trump’s photo. Critics accuse the administration of shielding details, while supporters highlight Clinton photos.
Survivors expressed frustration, saying the focus on powerful men’s pursuits distracts from justice. As more files trickle out, the Times report revives questions about Trump’s circle and Epstein’s network of influence.
This revelation underscores persistent scrutiny over elite associations with Epstein, challenging Trump’s narrative just as his administration handles the controversial disclosures.
