‘Really Insulting!’ Epstein Victim Who Met Trump Hits Back Hard at White House on MSNBC
Epstein victim Maria Farmer, who says she met then-future President Donald Trump in Jeffrey Epstein’s office, hit back hard at the White House in an interview with MSNBC host Jen Psaki, calling their reaction to her experience “really insulting!”
Farmer was the subject of a recent New York Times profile that attempted to connect the dots on Trump’s presence in the so-called “Epstein Files” by virtue of the fact that she reported Trump to law enforcement twice.
Farmer has described meeting Trump at Epstein’s New York office in 1995 when the two were still friends, and recalls Epstein telling a lustful Trump, “No, no. She’s not here for you.”
White House communications director Steven Cheung denied the story in a statement that read, in part, that “The fact is that the President kicked him out of his club for being a creep. This is nothing more than a continuation of the fake news stories concocted by the Democrats and the liberal media.”
On Thursday’s edition of MSNBC’s The Briefing with Jen Psaki, Psaki read the statement from Cheung and asked Farmer about it. Ms. Farmer reacted with outrage:
JEN PSAKI: In response to that, and I want to ask you about that, but I just wanted to note that in response to that a White House spokesperson responded saying, “This is recycled, old fake news of the highest order that was already peddled more than six years concocted by Democrats and the liberal media, just like they did with the Russiagate scandal, which was just proven today. The president was never in his office. The fact is that the president kicked him out of his club for being a creep.”.
There is a lot packed in there, similar themes we’ve seen in other statements, I will say. But it’s about you. What is your response to that?
MARIA FARMER: Right. So, first of all, that’s so insulting! And disingenuous because I reported this in 1996.
And I have to say Donald Trump was a Democrat when I reported him. So him saying that this was a Republican thing, this is not a partisan thing. This is pedophilia! Anyone can be a pedophile!
It’s literally, unfortunately, it just happens to be a lot of Republicans, and that’s a fact.
And those same Republicans want to entertain Ghislaine Maxwell, like Tim Burchett wants to entertain her and flash her around and act like, we victims should not be heard from.
He didn’t want to speak to me. He wanted to speak Ghislaine and give her a voice and an audience.
And my little sister is one of her victims, and so am I. So. This is so damaging and yes, I’m fighting two cancers. So I would like to be able to retire and have my FBI reports so that I can help bring accountability to everyone. It’s not just me, I have the weight of all the young women on my shoulders right now.
JEN PSAKI: You certainly do.
