Newly uncovered flight records have reignited scrutiny over Donald Trump’s ties to the late convicted sex offender Jeffrey Epstein. The documents reveal that Trump flew to Scotland with Epstein in 2014, just months before the former US president purchased the Turnberry golf resort.
The Mysterious Trip
According to the logs, Trump and Epstein travelled together on a private jet from Newark to Scotland in June 2014. The trip occurred shortly before Trump finalised his acquisition of the Turnberry resort, a deal that has long been shrouded in financial secrecy.
Questions Over Connections
The flight records add to existing concerns about the nature of Trump’s relationship with Epstein, who was awaiting trial on sex trafficking charges before his death in 2019. While Trump has repeatedly denied any close association, witness testimonies and photographic evidence suggest otherwise.
Scotland’s Role
Trump’s business dealings in Scotland have faced intense scrutiny, particularly over funding sources. Critics argue that the timing of this trip raises further questions about potential financial entanglements between the two men.
Legal experts note that while the flight logs don’t prove wrongdoing, they contribute to a pattern of unexplained connections between Trump and Epstein that continue to fuel speculation.
