Roger Stone, one of President Trump’s longest-standing political allies and a man who has researched Jeffrey Epstein more thoroughly than almost anyone in American media, is pushing back hard against the latest attempt by the left to smear Trump with recycled Epstein gossip.
Appearing on Newsmax’s Finnerty, Stone reminded viewers that he literally wrote the book on Epstein nearly a decade ago. His 2015 bestseller The Clintons’ War on Women dedicated an entire chapter—titled “Orgy Island”—to Epstein’s predatory network. Unlike today’s opportunistic Democrats, Stone was sounding the alarm before it became politically convenient.
“I am the first American author to write extensively about Jeffrey Epstein,” Stone noted, pointing to his early warnings. He then laid out the obvious truth the media refuses to acknowledge: Donald Trump severed all ties with Epstein long before the disgraced financier’s crimes made national headlines.
The Clintons? They did the opposite.
“They took a $25,000 contribution from him *after* he was indicted,” Stone revealed—calling out the Clinton political machine for continuing to cozy up to Epstein even as his crimes were surfacing. “This smear that Donald Trump has something to hide is a ruse.”
Stone confirmed what has already been documented: Trump took one brief, non-scandalous flight on Epstein’s jet—accompanied by then-wife Marla Maples and daughter Tiffany—simply flying between New York and Palm Beach. The left, he said, is desperately trying to spin this into something nefarious while ignoring the Democrats’ extensive and far more troubling connections.
Stone didn’t mince words about who really spent time with Epstein:
* Bill Clinton visited the island at least three times
* Clinton took 26 flights on the Lolita Express, including one with scandal-ridden actor Kevin Spacey
* Senate Majority Leader George Mitchell (D-ME) appeared repeatedly
* Former New Mexico Governor Bill Richardson (D) also made the list
“Democrats are playing with fire,” Stone warned, noting that many in their party have “not-so-innocent” links to Epstein that they studiously avoid discussing.
When asked why a DOJ memo related to Epstein was mysteriously leaked to a left-wing outlet over the Fourth of July weekend—a classic tactic for hiding damaging information—Stone said the timing was suspicious but urged AG Pam Bondi to take bold action.
“Bondi or the president should direct the attorney general to move immediately to unseal the 2019 indictment of Jeffrey Epstein by the Trump Justice Department,” Stone said. He also urged the unsealing of the search warrants for Epstein’s Manhattan townhouse and his island compound.
Later in the interview, Stone shut down conspiracy theories about Trump’s supposed “secret ties,” reiterating that Trump never visited Epstein’s island, Paris apartment, or Manhattan mansion.
To cement the point, Stone cited testimony from Epstein accuser Virginia Giuffre—whose sworn statements demolished the left’s narrative. “She said it was a charitable function. Trump was there for 15 minutes. He was a perfect gentleman,” Stone stressed. “There’s nothing to hide here.”
In reality, the only people with something to fear from a full Epstein unsealing are the very Democrats trying to distract the public with tired and disproven smears.
