President Trump said Monday that he never had “the privilege” of traveling to disgraced financier Jeffrey Epstein’s island, emphasizing he “did turn it down,” Axios reports.
Said Trump: “In one of my very good moments, I turned it down. I didn’t want to go to his island.”
ABC News reports Trump’s name is mentioned in flight logs from Epstein’s plane, though most flights were between Palm Beach, Florida and Teterboro, New Jersey.
