Karoline Leavitt said President Donald Trump's alleged phone call to the Palm Beach police chief in 2006 dismantles establishment narratives.

White House press secretary Karoline Leavitt said Tuesday that President Donald Trump’s alleged phone call to the Palm Beach police chief in 2006, wherein Trump allegedly told him, “Thank goodness you’ re stopping [Epstein],” dismantles establishment narratives.

Leavitt’s comments came at a White House press briefing after the Department of Justice released a document from a 2019 interview between former Palm Beach Police Chief Michael Reiter and the FBI.

Per the document, Reiter said Trump told him, “thank goodness you’ re stopping him, everyone has known he’s been doing this,” and Ghislaine Maxwell “is evil and to focus on her.” The document also states that Trump told Reiter he booted Epstein from his Mar-a-Lago club and that Trump “was one of the very first people to call when people found out that they were investigating” Epstein. Reiter told the Miami Herald the call occurred in July 2006.

Leavitt said she is not sure whether the call between Trump and Reiter took place, but if it did, it supports what Trump has long said.

“Look, it was a phone call that may or may not have happened in 2006. I don’t know the answer to that question. What I’m telling you is that what President Trump has always said is that he kicked Jeffrey Epstein out of his Mar-a-Lago club because Jeffrey Epstein was a creep,” she said.

“And that remains true, and this call, if it did happen, corroborates exactly what President Trump has said from the beginning,” she added.

    More on what the Epstein emails actually say about Trump:

    In November 2025, the House Oversight Committee released 23,000 pages of documents from Epstein’s estate. These included many typo-strewn emails Epstein sent between 2011 and 2019, in which he mocked Trump, hinted he had damaging information on the new president, and even claimed Trump was aware of “the girls.”

    In April 2011, Epstein wrote to Maxwell, “i want you to realize that that dog that hasn’t barked is trump… [REDACTED VICTIM] spent hours at my house with him , he has never once been mentioned. police chief. etc. im 75 % there.”

    Maxwell replied, “I have been thinking about that …”

    In a January 2019 email to journalist Michael Wolff, Epstein said in reference to Mar-a-Lago, “trump said he asked me to resign, never a member ever,” adding, “of course he knew about the girls as he asked ghislane to stop.”

    About a month later, Epstein sent Wolff what appear to be notes on his previous criminal prosecution in Florida. “Trump knew of it. and came to my house many times during that period,” adding, “He never got a massage.”

    Obviously, it’s very possible that the sex offender was lying in these emails. All of the Epstein messages released so far were sent years after his reported “falling out” with Trump. Aside from the birthday letter, no communications between Trump and Epstein have been made public.

    This is rather interesting - “he never got a massage” as stated by Epstein.

    This is also not entirely out of character. After all, Trump is infamously a teetotaller.

    But yeah, I think this is a good summary of everything relevant.
