Overview
- Cleo Glyde, a model who knew Jeffrey Epstein in the 1980s and 1990s, told The Daily Beast Podcast that he asked her and a friend to wear white dresses to look like nurses before visiting Donald Trump at Trump Tower.
- Glyde said Trump smiled, laughed and was gracious during the meeting, describing the episode as Epstein showing off rather than something that made her uncomfortable at the time.
- She alleges Epstein later groped her on his private plane and identifies herself as one of the many victims referenced in Department of Justice disclosures.
- White House spokesperson Abigail Jackson called Glyde’s account “fake news” and a partisan hoax in comments reported by the Daily Mail.
- Glyde also questioned the official determination of Epstein’s 2019 jail death, and Mint noted that victims held a press conference earlier this week calling for greater transparency in the investigation.
