During his visit to Scotland, Donald Trump initially refused to address questions about his past association with Jeffrey Epstein, dismissing them as inappropriate. However, as the trip progressed, Trump began to reveal new details about his falling out with Epstein, including claims that Epstein 'stole' Mar-a-Lago staff members, such as Virginia Giuffre, leading to their estrangement. Trump denied involvement in any alleged misconduct and reiterated that he had banned Epstein from his club for inappropriate behavior. Despite his efforts to distance himself from the controversy, the Epstein story continued to overshadow Trump's trip, with ongoing legal battles and media scrutiny following him back to the United States.
