A woman who was among the first to accuse Jeffrey Epstein of abuse has come forward once again—this time with explosive allegations involving former U.S. President Donald Trump. Maria Farmer, an artist and Epstein survivor, claims that Trump was present during one of her encounters with Epstein and Ghislaine Maxwell in the mid-1990s, directly contradicting Trump’s repeated denials of any meaningful connection with the disgraced financier.
In a newly resurfaced interview and written account, Farmer alleges that she was summoned to Epstein’s office in Manhattan, where she unexpectedly found Trump already there. Describing the moment, she said Trump stood over her in an intimidating way, creating a deeply uncomfortable atmosphere. According to her, he then muttered a disturbing remark—something along the lines of “Oh, I thought she was 16”—before Epstein hurriedly led him away.
This revelation, if true, not only challenges Trump’s claim that he barely knew Epstein but also raises serious concerns about the depth of their relationship. Farmer says she’s baffled by Trump’s repeated denials, noting that Epstein used to brag about Trump being one of his close friends. She even recalled Epstein once joking that Trump had “inherited” her after his divorce from Ivana Trump.
Farmer says she alerted the FBI to Trump’s involvement twice—once in the 1990s and again in 2006—but nothing ever came of her claims. Now, with renewed interest in the Epstein case and the public demanding full transparency regarding unsealed court documents and high-profile connections, her voice is once again gaining attention.
The Trump team has strongly denied the claims. A spokesperson for the former president stated that Trump had no connection to Epstein’s inner circle and had actually banned him from Mar-a-Lago years ago for inappropriate behavior. Trump himself has dismissed the allegations as false and politically motivated.
Still, Farmer’s account stands out because of her consistency and her role as one of the first whistleblowers in the Epstein case. While no charges have been filed against Trump in connection with Epstein’s crimes, Farmer’s new revelations could reignite investigations or at the very least, public scrutiny.
As the fallout continues and the world awaits more disclosures tied to Epstein’s network, Farmer’s bold stance is a reminder that some survivors are still seeking justice—not just from Epstein and Maxwell—but from powerful figures who may have enabled or ignored the horrors that took place.
