Why did Trump ban Epstein from Mar-a-Lago? Former employees reveal details — Report January 01, 2026 at 11:23PM

Jeffrey Epstein was barred from Donald Trump’s Mar-a-Lago Club in 2003 after an 18-year-old beautician complained he had pressured her for sex. Former staff told The Wall Street Journal that Epstein was sexually suggestive during appointments, and Ghislaine Maxwell used the spa to recruit young workers for unauthorised jobs. Trump agreed to sever ties, describing Epstein as a “creep.”
