Report Says 2003 Spa Complaint Prompted Mar-a-Lago to Bar Epstein and Halt House Calls

Former staff say a teen spa worker’s allegation triggered an internal response that did not include notifying police.

Overview

  • The Wall Street Journal reports an 18-year-old beautician told managers Jeffrey Epstein pressured her for sex after a house call in 2003.
  • A manager faxed President Trump urging a ban, and former employees say he replied it was a good letter and told staff to “kick him out.”
  • Mar-a-Lago had been sending young spa employees to Epstein’s Palm Beach home for services booked through his spa account, with Ghislaine Maxwell setting appointments.
  • Former employees say the complaint was shared with human resources but was not reported to the Palm Beach Police Department.
  • The White House says Trump did nothing wrong and removed Epstein from the club, as DOJ releases of Epstein records reference Trump and renewed scrutiny revisits post-2003 cross-paths including a 2004 property auction.
