Former Sports Illustrated swimsuit model Stacey Williams told CNN her ex-boyfriend Jeffrey Epstein and president Donald Trump "were best friends" when she knew the pair. "I have plenty of anecdotes," she also said.

Donald Trump and Jeffrey Epstein were “best friends” who were “ up to no good,” a model who dated the disgraced financier claims, as the president tries to distance himself from the Epstein case.

Trump and his administration recently faced scrutiny over their handling of Epstein’s sex abuse case after building up hype for the files’ release — only for the Department of Justice and FBI to say there was no evidence Epstein was murdered in jail, nor did he have a so-called “client list.”
