NEW: Epstein Accuser Says She Told the FBI Twice That They Should Investigate Trump -- NYT Reports

Jul 20th, 2025, 2:10 pm

A Jeffrey Epstein accuser is speaking out — telling The New York Times that she, on two separate occasions recommended to the FBI that they should look into President Donald Trump.

In an interview with the Times published Sunday, Epstein accuser Maria Farmer said that when she spoke to law enforcement in 1996 to report that she had been sexually assaulted by Epstein and Ghislaine Maxwell, she urged them to also look into the people in Epstein’s orbit — including Trump. Farmer then reiterated her concerns about Trump to the FBI in 2006.

Farmer told the Times that she raised Trump’s name to the FBI because of an encounter she says she had with Trump in 1995. Times reporters Mike Baker and Michael Schmidt described that encounter — which she has previously discussed publicly — as follows:

A masterpiece of ambiguity and plausible deniability.

But the most likely read is you intend that as ironic.

In which case, you seem to find it amusing that a chronologically adult man would be perving on a 16-year-old (by his stated belief) girl's legs.

Or would you like to say you really meant that literally?

One male correspondent state that Trump appears to be ambivalent on the subject to be followed by a female correspondent stating, Dems need to be careful of jumping into the cesspool with the crazies.

Mr. Epstein entered the room, and she recalled him saying to Mr. Trump: “No, no. She’s not here for you.”

This kind of like the FBI getting 4,200 tips on Kavanaugh and doing nothing about them.

The FBI doesn’t let crimes pass without a darn good reason.



The FBI thought Russians laundering money by buying Trump properties in cash was OK, too.

Cohn taught Trump on how being evil works. Cohn a gay made a name for himself by going after
gay members of the military and the U.S. government as security risks and later was disbarred for
putting pen into a dying person’s hand and having him or her sign over their estate to him.

To Democracy, the First Amendment and We the People.

The parallels are easy to see. Cohn’s Ring to DC Madame to Jeffrey Epstein.

It’s the Ownership of Corporate McPravda that’s missing the story on purpose. All six of them.

And the next thing we knew, here comes what Poppy Doc Bush termed “the Brave New World Order Thing.”

DU’s been on the their gangster arses and their Unitary NAZI States of Earth.

It's pretty damning. One of the key notes is that Farmer pushed the FBI to look at Trump in 1996 and in 2006, long before his political career. If there's timestamped reports on that (as there damn well should be - this was an interview with a victim), it's pretty brutal, and hard to chalk up to political motivations. If her story is consistent between 1996 and 2006, that's even worse.
