Trump's Epstein Secret: Was He an FBI Informant?

Donald Trump's reluctance to release the Epstein files has sparked intense speculation. While Trump's past associations with Epstein and accusations of sexual misconduct are well-documented, a new claim alleges Trump was secretly working as an FBI informant investigating Epstein. House Speaker Mike Johnson initially supported this theory, but later retracted his statement, leaving the claim's validity in question. While Trump did ban Epstein from Mar-a-Lago after inappropriate behavior and reportedly assisted Epstein's victims' attorney, Brad Edwards, in 2009, the extent of his involvement remains unclear. The narrative is further complicated by conflicting accounts of their falling out, ranging from concerns about abused women to disputes over property. The White House dismisses a suggestive birthday note allegedly from Trump to Epstein as a 'Democrat hoax', but the lack of a clear explanation continues to fuel speculation and questions about Trump's true motivations.
