Donald Trump’s claim that Jeffrey Epstein poached one of his future victims from him could end up costing him dearly…in court. According to one legal expert, saying that you were aware of this happening while also being at least somewhat aware of what Epstein was doing could cause Trump some serious legal headaches in civil court in the future. Ring of Fire’s Farron Cousins discusses this.

According to a law professor at New York University, Donald Trump may have opened himself up to some, uh, fairly serious liability with his admission about Virginia Giuffre this week. Now, Giuffre, of course, was the individual who was allegedly taken from Mar-a-Lago by Ghislaine Maxwell. She then went to go work for Jeffrey Epstein, where she was forced to perform acts with men from all over the world, including Epstein himself. So she was 17 years old at the time, and, uh, Trump just admitted that earlier this week, as we all know. He said that is why he had the falling out with Epstein. He was taking my employees, and that's what made him a creep. Not the other stuff that it's becoming increasingly likely that Donald Trump knew about. It was him poaching his staffers, who, by the way, Virginia at the time was just a pool attendant at Mar-a-Lago, right?
It's not like she was the head of HR or managing everybody's schedule for the entire resort. It was somebody that Donald Trump could easily replace. So ending a multi-decade friendship because Epstein took your pool attendant like one of your pool attendants, that seems odd. And of course, that is what is now raising alarm bells with the public. Like, why did he end this friendship over a pool attendant that that doesn't smell right? And no, it certainly does not. But here is what New York University law Professor Ryan Goodman had to say about it. It's that much of a significant statement. If he had said he was aware of it from the court documents, then he's okay in that regard. But I think that's a very potentially bad situation for him to be in.
So let's kind of dissect that statement. First and foremost, when you take that statement about Donald Trump knowing about these things happening, or at least Epstein taking young women away from Trump, then you add in the birthday card, right? Donald Trump's drawing. But the message, honestly, is the bigger part. May every day be a wonderful new secret, implying you have lots of secrets. I know you have lots of secrets because I know what's going on. So the potential for liability opens up for Donald Trump if he allowed this employee to leave and go work for a man where he knew what was gonna happen to the girl, but failed to warn. So not only could Donald Trump find some kind of liability for himself with knowing what
Epstein was doing and not reporting it, but also with allowing an employee to leave to go to that world without warning that individual of the dangers. Now, that could be liability, but the liability on that is also fairly weak, but it does exist. So that is some potential civil liability. Unfortunately, however, Giuffre is no longer alive. So obviously that can't happen. But the legal liability on the other side, you know, the criminal potential here does exist. It may be minute, it may be small, and if Trump hired competent lawyers, which he never does, he shouldn't be worried. But I do think at this point he should be worried because Giuffre wasn't the only woman. In fact, attorney Bradley LER Edwards, excuse me, has represented more than 200 Epstein victims. So there's a lot more women. There are literally hundreds of them that we know of. So, you know, there's a lot of possibilities there. Either way, Donald Trump's admission has not only shocked the world, it's shocked the legal community, the people who understand liability and admissions far better than anyone else in this country. And if they say that Trump should be worried, then he should definitely be worried right now.
