Former Sports Illustrated swimsuit model Stacey Williams told CNN her ex-boyfriend Jeffrey Epstein and president Donald Trump "were best friends" when she knew the pair. "I have plenty of anecdotes," she also said.

The Justice Department said unsealing grand jury transcripts related to Epstein's case is necessary given "longstanding and legitimate" public interest in the case.

When Epstein was deposed in 2016 and was asked under oath if he ever socialized with Trump in the presence of minor girls, he claimed his Fifth Amendment right to not incriminate himself and refused to answer. (He invoked his Fifth Amendment rights at least 600 times during this deposition.)

A Wall Street Journal report late Thursday added new scrutiny to President Donald Trump’s relationship with the late sex offender Jeffrey Epstein.

"All the work that we did to tell the world what happened to us, it’s all being erased," victim Danielle Bensky said.

Donald Trump was friendly for at least 15 years with Jeffrey Epstein, the multimillionaire financier and convicted sex offender who died in prison in 2019.

With backlash from his base not abating, the Justice Dept. asked a federal judge to unseal grand jury transcripts related to Epstein's 2019 indictment.

The FBI allegedly instructed agents to “flag” any mention of President Donald Trump while reviewing files related to Jeffrey Epstein.

For nearly 15 years, the two men socialized together in Manhattan and Palm Beach, Fla., before a falling out that preceded Mr. Epstein’s first arrest.
