“As he prepared to finalize his deal for the house, an incredulous Epstein saw a severely cash-constrained Trump bid $41 million for the property, buying it through an entity called Trump Properties LLC, financed by Deutsche Bank. Trump, Epstein knew, had been renting his name, telling Epstein he ought to do the same-that is, for an ample fee, Trump was willing to serve as a front man to disguise the actual ownership in a real estate transaction.”
