Casino Boss Claims He Saw Trump Show Up with Epstein and a Teen Girl (Video)

In a bombshell CNN interview, former Trump Plaza Hotel and Casino president Jack O’Donnell has revealed a disturbing late-night incident from the 1980s—one that underscores the now-President Donald Trump’s longtime ties to convicted sex offender Jeffrey Epstein.

Speaking to Erin Burnett, O’Donnell described a moment when casino regulators nearly caught Trump and Epstein red-handed—entering the casino floor around 1:30 a.m. with three young women, one of whom was just 19.

“They came in through the front—Trump, Epstein, and these young women—and my office was already filled with commission inspectors,” O’Donnell said. “It was a disaster waiting to happen. I had to confront Trump immediately.”

At the time, Trump was approaching 40. Epstein, still years from infamy, was already a well-known financier with a predatory reputation in elite circles. Though the 19-year-old was legally an adult, Atlantic City regulations prohibit anyone under 21 from entering casino floors—rules that, if violated, could cost a casino its license.

“They gave us a break,” O’Donnell continued. “But I told Donald point-blank: ‘You bring Epstein and girls like this back here, it’s not just a fine—it’s your image on the line.’”

The incident is now resurfacing just as Trump faces mounting pressure from his own base to release sealed Department of Justice and FBI files related to Epstein’s crimes and alleged client network. Trump, who once promised transparency on the Epstein case, has pivoted to attacking his own supporters for echoing what he calls “Democrat conspiracy garbage.”

“My PAST supporters have bought into this ‘bulls–t’ hook, line, and sinker,” Trump posted on Truth Social Wednesday. “Let these weaklings continue to do the Democrats’ work. I don’t want their support anymore.”

That stunning rebuke came after weeks of backlash from MAGA-aligned influencers demanding the release of Epstein’s so-called client list—many suspecting a bipartisan web of high-profile figures with secrets still buried.

Trump and Epstein’s friendship dates back to the mid-1980s. The two frequently attended parties together, including those held at Mar-a-Lago. In a now-infamous 2002 quote, Epstein once described Trump as a “terrific guy” who “likes beautiful women as much as I do, and many of them are on the younger side.”

Though the two reportedly fell out in 2004 over a Palm Beach real estate deal, critics say Trump’s efforts to distance himself have always come too late—and too forcefully.

“There’s no escaping the optics,” said political analyst Dr. Maya Renner. “Trump’s own words and relationships from that era are coming back to haunt him, especially as the public demands answers about Epstein’s network.”

The Biden White House often called for full disclosure during Trump’s presidency, and now, with Democrats in the minority, many are watching closely to see if Congress will force the issue.

O’Donnell said his motivation for coming forward was simple: “People need to understand how close they really were. Epstein wasn’t just a passing acquaintance. They were buddies.”

The White House has not responded to a request for comment.

Meanwhile, Epstein’s death in 2019—ruled a suicide by the medical examiner—continues to fuel speculation and conspiracy theories. A growing number of Americans believe he was silenced to protect powerful interests.

With Trump now back in the Oval Office and 2026 midterms looming, the scandal could resurface with legal and political implications yet unknown.

“The truth has a way of leaking,” O’Donnell added. “And it’s starting to pour.”
