Trump Spent Thanksgiving With Epstein During His First Term in Office: Report

A bombshell revelation has reignited questions about Donald Trump’s relationship with Jeffrey Epstein — and this time, the timeline lands squarely in Trump’s first year as president.

According to newly released emails from Epstein’s estate, the disgraced financier told a friend he spent Thanksgiving 2017 with President Trump at Mar-a-Lago — Trump’s first Thanksgiving in office. The detail comes from a new batch of documents made public by Democrats on the House Oversight Committee, followed by the release of 20,000 additional records by their Republican counterparts.

The emails, first reported by CNN, show an exchange between Epstein and Manhattan modeling executive Faith Kates on Thanksgiving morning, November 23, 2017. Kates asked where Epstein was spending the holiday. Epstein replied that he would spend the day with “eva,” likely referencing his former girlfriend Eva Andersson-Dubin. Kates mentioned Andersson-Dubin’s husband, Glenn Dubin, and asked, “who else is down there?”

Epstein’s response included three names: “Trump,” hedge fund founder David Fiszel, and someone he referred to only as “Hanson.”

That Thanksgiving, Trump was publicly reported to be at Mar-a-Lago. The White House at the time confirmed his location but did not release a guest list.

The connection, if accurate, would mark the first known instance of Epstein and Trump socializing after Trump had taken office — long after both men’s friendship was said to have cooled in the mid-2000s. Epstein was already a convicted sex offender by 2017, having served time for soliciting sex from a minor a decade earlier.

Andersson-Dubin later testified at the 2021 trial of Ghislaine Maxwell, Epstein’s longtime companion who was convicted for her role in his sex trafficking operation. Epstein himself died in jail in 2019 while awaiting new federal charges.

The White House under Trump has never addressed whether Epstein ever visited the president’s Florida estate during his term, and the newly released emails raise uncomfortable questions that so far remain unanswered.

If Epstein’s account is true, Thanksgiving 2017 wasn’t just another Mar-a-Lago dinner — it could represent a stunning overlap between the Oval Office and one of the darkest scandals in recent American history.
