Maria Farmer Recalls Donald Trump’s Late-Night Visit to Epstein’s Office in the 1990s
In a recently resurfaced interview, artist and Epstein whistleblower Maria Farmer has shared details about a disturbing late-night encounter with Donald Trump at Jeffrey Epstein’s private office in New York during the 1990s. While Farmer does not accuse Trump of any criminal behavior, she described the interaction as unsettling, predatory, and “vulgar.”
Farmer, who has publicly accused both Jeffrey Epstein and Ghislaine Maxwell of sexual assault, recounted the alleged incident during an interview with CNN, detailing how she was hired to work for Epstein when she was around 25 years old.
“So I get there and I’m waiting and it’s dark, like, there’s no light on in the offices, and I thought that was really weird,” Farmer told CNN. She said she was alone in Epstein’s suite at the Helmsley Building in Manhattan when Donald Trump entered unexpectedly.
Farmer said Trump’s body language was intimidating:
“He stood a few feet from me and stood over me in a very imposing way,” she recalled. “He looked at me like, like he was in on some secret or something… It was really weird, like smirking kind of. And I felt threatened.”
According to Farmer, Epstein emerged from a nearby office, laughed, and told Trump:
“She’s not here for you.” He then allegedly escorted Trump into another room. Farmer says she has always wondered who else was in that room.
“I felt very intimidated because I had on running shorts and I was vulnerable, sweaty, just a nobody in an office with these two men. It felt very predatory and uncomfortable,” she said.
Farmer also alleged that Trump made an inappropriate joke during the interaction, saying:
“Oh, I thought she was 16.” She framed it as locker room talk typical of that era but emphasized it felt deeply inappropriate given the context.
White House Response: Denial
In response to CNN’s request for comment, Trump’s White House denied the incident entirely:
“The president was never in Epstein’s office, and in fact, the president kicked him out of his club for being a creep,” a spokesperson said.
Farmer, however, called the denial a lie.
“I don’t appreciate it. I’m really sorry for him that he’s caught, but he’s lying. It’s disrespectful,” she said.
Again, Farmer has not accused Trump of any illegal activity, but maintains that the incident left her feeling shaken and objectified.
Background: Maria Farmer’s Role in Epstein Case
Maria Farmer is a key early accuser in the Epstein-Maxwell case. She was the first woman to file a formal complaint with the FBI in the 1990s about Epstein and Maxwell’s behavior. Her allegations, corroborated by her younger sister Annie Farmer, played a central role in later investigations.
Farmer’s recollection adds to a growing body of firsthand accounts involving Epstein’s social and political connections. Trump had acknowledged knowing Epstein in a 2002 New York Magazine profile, saying:
“I’ve known Jeff for fifteen years. Terrific guy… He’s a lot of fun to be with. It is even said that he likes beautiful women as much as I do, and many of them are on the younger side.”
Conclusion
While this new recollection doesn’t implicate Donald Trump in criminal acts, it deepens the narrative surrounding Epstein’s circle of influence, and adds pressure on public figures to account for past associations. Farmer’s story, though decades old, raises persistent questions about who knew what — and when.
