Donald Trump → Jeffrey Epstein
Event Description
Trump made a public statement characterizing Epstein as 'a lot of fun to be with' and stating 'He's a lot of fun to be with. It is even said that he likes beautiful women as much as I do, and many of them are on the younger side.' Thomas Jr. notes this statement will persist as evidence of the relationship.
Quoted Evidence
“I've known Jeff for fifteen years. Terrific guy," Trump booms from a speakerphone. "He's a lot of fun to be with. It is even said that he likes beautiful women as much as I do, and many of them are on the younger side. No doubt about it -- Jeffrey enjoys his social life."”

Reasoning
Per REPORTED_ALLEGATION RULE, this scores the underlying allegation (Epstein's pattern of providing/facilitating access to young women) not the act of reporting it. Trump's quoted characterization of Epstein's involvement with women 'on the younger side' constitutes a reported statement about potential exploitation patterns that corroborates procurement indicators present elsewhere in the thread.
