Jeffrey Epstein allegedly claimed that Donald Trump once described himself as "white trash adjacent" during a private jet story involving a French woman and Atlantic City. William Mersey says Epstein shared the anecdote in August 2019, shortly before Epstein died at the Metropolitan Correctional Center in Manhattan. Mersey, a former fellow prisoner who is now a writer and journalist, said he asked Epstein for a story that captured Donald Trump's personality. Epstein reportedly launched into the tale before shifting to an unrelated and reportedly sordid story about Bill Clinton . What Did Epstein Actually Claim? The account appears in Jeffrey Epstein: The Devil's Rolodex , a TMZ Studios documentary about Epstein's access to presidents, celebrities, and powerful people. The private jet anecdote is presented through Mersey's account, so the alleged remark remains unverified rather than an established quote from Donald Trump. The White House said Donald Trump banned Epstein from Mar a Lago because Epstein was a creep. Representatives for Bill Clinton did not respond to requests for comment, according to TMZ. The full documentary is available on YouTube, where the interview clip offers the receipts and plenty of unanswered questions.
