Marla Maples warned President Donald Trump that there was something “off” with Jeffrey Epstein years before the convicted sex offender was first arrested, according to a new report.

Maples, who married Trump in 1993 following his divorce from his first wife, shared her concerns with Mar-a-Lago employees after the Florida club opened in 1995, The Wall Street Journal reported. She told staff that there was something “wrong” with Epstein, who was a frequent visitor to the Palm Beach mansion, and said she was worried about the influence he had on her husband.

Staff said that Maples did not want Epstein to spend time with her or Trump and that she telegraphed her reservations to Timothy McDaniel, who ran security at Trump’s properties in Florida. The comments struck former employees as “out of character for Maples.” Neither Maples or McDaniel responded when asked for comment by the Journal.

White House Press Secretary Karoline Leavitt told the Journal that the paper was “writing up fallacies and innuendo,” adding, “No matter how many times this story is told and retold, the truth remains: President Trump did nothing wrong and he kicked Jeffrey Epstein out of Mar a Lago for being a creep.”

1. Trump: "Just shut up and look pretty, Marla."

One presumes.

2. Note: The Dotard divorced Maples quicker/sooner than he broke up with Epstein.

They got divorced in 1999, according to Wikipedia.

The Dotard broke up with his bestie/kicked Epstein out of Mierda Lago in the mid 2000s, again according to Wikipedia.

The Dotard literally stuck with his raping buddy longer than the wife who was creeped out by him.

3. Is this a joke?

Does anyone really believe that he didn't know about Epsteins' proclivities?
Seriously?

4. Trump wanted it kept on the down-low and Epstein couldn't do that.

I thought it was because he hit on a members daughter? Was she recruited to give massages as well?
What the fuck was really going on there?

5. within 2 years, Trump and Maples broke up, and 2 years later they divorced.

This was years before he broke with Epstein. It might be coincidental, but knowing Trump, the end of their marriage may have been a way to take her out of the spotlight, and reduce her ability to publicize the scandal.

6. Ivanka was 14 in 1995 (turned 14 on Oct 30).

if she was at Mar-a-pedo in those years, Marla and Ivana both probably felt something was "off".

7. "...she was worried about the influence he (Epstein) had on her husband."

Is she so sure that it wasn't the other way around?

I forget, which one was the one who owned a Miss Teen USA pageant just so he could walk through the dressing room and leer at undressed underaged girls?
