Donald Trump’s prez campaign said Monday that it was unaware that a private plane used by Trump for campaign travel Saturday was once owned by Jeffrey Epstein, the disgraced financier and sex offender. Trump’s signature Boeing 757, often referred to as Trump Force One, experienced a mechanical issue en route to a rally in Bozeman on Friday.
A Trump campaign official said the campaign had called its charter jet vendor, Private Jet Services Group, which provided the Gulfstream jet.He added that it would take efforts to avoid using that plane in the future.
Epstein’s planes have long been a source of public interest; he was known to travel with high-profile passengers, including ex-prez Bill Clinton, Trump, Prince Andrew and Robert F. Kennedy Jr, who is now running for prez as an independent candidate. Epstein also brought young women – and girls, according to some who accused Epstein of sex trafficking – to entertain guests on board.
