Damn it, what do we have to do to keep the narrative going?

Trump told Palm Beach police chief ‘thank goodness you’re stopping’ Epstein, called Ghislaine Maxwell ‘evil’ in 2006 phone call: FBI document

Donald Trump personally called the police chief of Palm Beach, Fla., in 2006 to thank him for investigating Jeffrey Epstein — and told him to “focus on” the disgraced financier’s “evil” accomplice, Ghislaine Maxwell, according to a newly released FBI document.

According to the summary of an October 2019 interview of Michael Reiter, who served as the wealthy Florida enclave’s top cop from 2001 to 2009, the future president was “one of the very first people to call when people found out” that authorities were investigating Epstein for sex with girls as young as 14 whom he had hired to give him massages.

“Thank goodness you’re stopping him, everyone has known he’s been doing this,” Trump was quoted as telling Reiter on the call, adding that he “got the hell out of there” on one occasion when he was around Epstein while teenagers were present.

The summary, first reported by the Miami Herald, added that Trump told Reiter he “threw” Epstein out of Mar-a-Lago and that “people in New York knew Epstein was disgusting.”

Trump also referred to Maxwell as “Epstein’s operative,” telling the chief “she is evil and to focus on her.”

Reiter’s name is redacted in the interview summary, but details in the document match up with publicly known information about his role in the Epstein probe.

…. The Palm Beach Police Department began receiving reports about Epstein “[i]n the early 2000’s, maybe 2003,” according to the summary. Eventually, Reiter said, his officers put together a sprawling case against Epstein, including “sexual battery cases against the co-conspirators.”

However, Reiter recalled that state prosecutors “said the victims were not credible and would show their MYSPACE pages and such. They would refute minute details in the probable cause affidavit … This case died at the state level.”

The summary of the FBI interview of Reiter was included in millions of files that have been released by the Justice Department in connection with the case of Epstein, who pleaded guilty to Florida charges of soliciting a minor for sex in 2008 under a controversial non-prosecution agreement that saw him serve 13 months in prison, much of that time on work release.
