Trump has insisted he never went on Epstein’s plane or to his private island, Little St James, which later became synonymous with his crimes. But flight logs show Trump did indeed fly on the plane seven times in the four years between 1993 and 1997, once accompanied by his former wife Marla Maples and their daughter Tiffany, another time with his son Eric (other notable passengers include President Bill Clinton, Robert F Kennedy Jr, Prince Andrew and actor Kevin Spacey). According to the New York Times, Trump and Epstein were the only guests present at a “calendar girl” competition at Mar-a-Lago the year before their jet-set chapter started, in 1992 — the same year a clip from the NBC archives shows the two men pointing out women on a dance floor. A photo taken in Palm Beach in 1997 shows the two men smiling, Trump resting his hand on Epstein’s shoulder.
