Trump campaign uses jet owned by child sex trafficker Jeffrey Epstein

Former President Donald Trump flew to a rally and private fundraisers this last weekend using a private jet previously owned by now-deceased child sex trafficker Jeffrey Epstein.

While the Trump campaign said it unknowingly chartered the jet, Trump’s lesbian niece Mary Trump has previously said that the former president and Epstein were “very close,” and that Donald Trump flew seven times on another plane owned by Epstein called the “Lolita Express,” a reference to the 1955 Vladimir Nabokov novel about an adult man’s sexual relationship with a 12-year-old girl.

Jeffrey Epstein tried to justify his sexual abuse of girls by saying it was the same as being gay

In a shocking interview before his death, Epstein was “at ease” discussing his desire for young girls and tried to justify it with a bizarre illustration.

The aforementioned private jet chartered by the Trump campaign was a Gulfstream G550 plane with the code N550GP printed on its tail, according to Business Insider. Epstein last travelled on the jet from Paris to New Jersey’s Teterboro airport on July 6, 2019. That day, FBI officers arrested him on sex-trafficking charges — he died in prison by hanging the following August. Conspiracy theorists say he may have been murdered.

Trump reportedly used the jet to travel to Jackson Hole, Wyoming and Aspen, Colorado on Saturday for private fundraisers. The jet was provided by a company called the Private Jet Services Group, and its current owner painted “Trump 2024” painted on its left side when he learned Trump would be using it.

Internet users on Reddit and X identified the plane through pictures posted on social media. They identified the plane’s previous owner using the Federal Aviation Administration’s public registry to look up its tail number, serial number, and history, The Daily Beast reported.

A Trump campaign official told The Daily Beast that Trump didn’t know about the jet’s previous owner until learning about it from the press. The campaign has asked the aforementioned company never to allow Trump to charter that particular jet again. The company reportedly apologized for chartering it to Trump.

“Donald was very close to Epstein in the ’90s,” Trump’s lesbian niece Mary Trump wrote in February. “When New York Magazine asked Donald about Epstein for a piece called ‘International Moneyman of Mystery,’ my uncle said, ‘He’s a lot of fun to be with. It is even said that he likes beautiful women as much as I do, and many of them are on the younger side. No doubt about it.’”

Mary Trump then listed her uncle’s connections to Epstein, including the seven times he flew on another one of Epstein’s planes, which people reportedly called the “Lolita Express.” Epstein allegedly used the plane to fly underage girls around the United States and to his Caribbean island for sexual encounters.

Mary Trump also noted that Epstein’s associate Ghislaine Maxwell – who was convicted of child sex trafficking and other charges in connection to Epstein’s sex trafficking ring in 2021 – was introduced to Donald Trump at Mar-a-Lago and “soon, she became part of Donald’s teen pageant.”

Mary Trump also mentioned a lawsuit against Donald Trump from a woman who claimed that she was sexually abused by him and Epstein in the ’90s when she was just 13 years old. She dropped the lawsuit just before the 2016 election, and her lawyer cited “numerous threats” made against the alleged victim and her “terrible fear” that a Trump supporter would follow through on a threat.

Former President Donald Trump has been accused of having sex with “many girls” supplied to him by Epstein. The accusation — made by Sarah Ransome, a woman who said Epstein sexually exploited her — came to light in recently unsealed court documents. Trump, who has been accused of sexual misconduct by at least 26 women, has denied the accusations.

Ransome emailed her accusations in 2016 to New York Post writer Maureen Callahan, saying that she had a friend of unknown age, supplied by Epstein, who Trump regularly had sex with, in addition to the “many girls” Trump also had sex with. Ransome said Trump liked “flicking and sucking” her friend’s nipples “until they were raw,” “red,” “swollen,” and looked “incredibly painful,” The Daily Mail reported.

“I also know she had sexual relations with Trump at Jeffrey’s [New York] mansion on regular occasions,” Ransome wrote. Ransome said her friend has also slept with former President Bill Clinton and billionaire Richard Branson.

Ransome later distanced herself from her claims over fears for her family’s safety. Trump’s spokesperson, Steven Cheung, denied Ransome’s accusations, writing, “These baseless accusations have been fully retracted because they are simply false and have no merit.”

In October 2023, a jury found Trump liable for sexual abuse and defamation in connection to E. Jean Carroll, a writer who accused him of raping her in a Bergdorf Goodman fitting room around 1996. Trump called her accusations a “hoax” and a “complete con job.”
