Trump was asked about Prince Andrew during a London NATO conference amid revelations of the prince’s history with child sex trafficker Jeffrey Epstein. Trump claimed he didn’t know the prince, but that it was “a very tough story.” However, there are various photos of them together and speaking, with the oldest dating to 2000. They were also photographed together 6 months prior at multiple events during another of Trump’s visits to London. Trump had also previously described Prince Andrew as “a lot of fun to be with.”

Trump has also distanced himself from Epstein in the past, despite his having gone to various Epstein-hosted events in the past, and saying of in a 2002 interview that Epstein is “terrific” and “likes beautiful women as much as I do, and many of them are on the younger side.”
