WATCH: JD Vance asked about Trump ties to Epstein

Published

Donald Trump didn't just throw him [Jeffrey Epstein] out of his club. He turned Jeffrey Epstein into the local police for being a creep. And you read, I think, almost more importantly, what did Epstein say about Donald Trump? There was probably no person in the world that Jeffrey Epstein hated more than Donald Trump, which is a great character reference. (05:36–05:44)
