A newly uncovered FBI document suggests Donald Trump told police about Jeffrey Epstein’s behaviour in 2006.<\/p>\n

The document, released in the latest batch of Epstein files<\/strong><\/a>, is a written record of a 2019 FBI interview with an ex-cop from Palm Beach, Florida, who says Mr Trump called him in relation to an investigation into the financier.<\/p>\n

“Thank goodness you’re stopping him, everyone has known he’s been doing this,” Mr Trump apparently said.<\/p>\n

The name of the officer has been redacted from the file, however, Michael Reiter – who retired from his role as police chief in 2009 – told the Miami Herald<\/strong><\/a> he had taken the call.<\/p>\n

Mr Trump<\/strong><\/a> has consistently denied any wrongdoing in relation to Epstein.<\/p>\n

The document would appear to contradict previous claims by the president that he “had no idea” about his crimes.<\/p>\n

When asked by reporters following the disgraced financier’s arrest for sex trafficking in 2019 if he had “any suspicions” about him, Mr Trump said: “No, I had no idea. I had no idea. I haven’t spoken to him in many, many years.”<\/p>\n
