根据美国联邦调查局(FBI)一份回顾对佛罗里达州棕榈滩当地部门前局长采访的文件显示,总统唐纳德·特朗普据称在21世纪初致电佛罗里达州棕榈滩警察局,感谢他们调查杰弗里·爱泼斯坦(Jeffrey Epstein),同时警告警方要专注于“恶魔”吉斯莱恩·麦克斯韦(Ghislaine Maxwell)。
福克斯新闻数字版获取的一份FBI文件中,记录了对佛罗里达州棕榈滩前警察局长迈克尔·赖特(Michael Reiter)2019年采访的内容,其中写道:“特朗普致电棕榈滩警察局(PBPD),称‘谢天谢地你阻止了他,大家都知道他一直在做这种事’。”
然而,司法部一名官员周二回应称,该部门“未发现任何证实总统20年前联系执法部门的证据”,并拒绝置评。
赖特2001年至2009年担任棕榈滩警察局长。美国司法部(DOJ)公布的FBI文件中隐去了赖特的姓名,但迈阿密先驱报证实,他于2019年接受FBI采访,并表示特朗普在2006年7月就爱泼斯坦事件致电警局。

福克斯新闻数字版周二上午联系了赖特及其运营的安全与危机管理公司Michael Reiter and Associates,但赖特拒绝就此置评。
FBI文件是特朗普在2025年底签署《爱泼斯坦文件透明度法案》后,司法部公布的数百万份文件、照片和电子邮件之一。司法部于2026年1月30日公布了最新一批文件。
迈阿密先驱报报道称,佛罗里达州警方2005年接到一名14岁女孩指控爱泼斯坦性侵的电话后展开调查,随后发现其他类似的性虐待指控,并将赖特纳入调查。
FBI文件中还提到,特朗普称麦克斯韦是爱泼斯坦的“帮凶”,“她是恶魔,要专注于她”。
文件继续记录了特朗普对前警察局长的描述:“特朗普告诉(隐去姓名),他曾与爱泼斯坦在青少年在场时碰面,然后‘赶紧逃离那里’。当人们发现调查爱泼斯坦时,特朗普是最早致电的人之一。”
福克斯新闻数字版周二上午也联系了白宫,就所谓的电话和FBI文件请求置评。

特朗普考虑对迈克尔·沃尔夫和爱泼斯坦遗产提起法律诉讼
特朗普长期以来一直坚称,尽管他曾与爱泼斯坦有过接触,但在爱泼斯坦涉及性交易和恋童癖的细节曝光后,他“早在21世纪初就把他(爱泼斯坦)从马阿拉歌度假村赶了出去”。
赖特对FBI的采访也支持了特朗普长期以来声称的,他在21世纪初就切断了与爱泼斯坦所有联系的说法。
FBI文件中引用特朗普的话:“马阿拉歌是个大杂烩,每个人都能进去,但我把爱泼斯坦从俱乐部里赶了出去。”

2019年,他再次因性交易指控被捕,随后在曼哈顿监狱牢房中被发现自杀身亡。
根据迈阿密先驱报报道,赖特接受FBI采访是在爱泼斯坦死后两个月。

Trump allegedly thanked police for probing Epstein in 2000s, warned Ghislaine Maxwell is ‘evil’: FBI doc
February 10, 2026 11:24am EST / Fox News
President Donald Trump allegedly called the Palm Beach, Florida, Police Department in the mid-2000s to thank them for investigating Jeffrey Epstein while simultaneously warning them to stay focused on “evil” Ghislaine Maxwell, according to an FBI document recapping an interview with the local department’s former chief.
“TRUMP called the PBPD (Palm Beach Police Department) to tell him ‘thank goodness you’re stopping him, everyone has known he’s been doing this,’” reads an FBI document reviewed by Fox News Digital recounting a 2019 interview with former Palm Beach, Florida, Police Chief Michael Reiter.
When approached for comment, however, an official with the Department of Justice pushed back Tuesday that the office was “not aware of any corroborating evidence that the President contacted law enforcement 20 years ago.”
Reiter served as the police chief in Palm Beach from 2001 to 2009. Reiter’s name was redacted from the FBI document released by the Department of Justice (DOJ), but confirmed to the Miami Herald that he was interviewed by the FBI in 2019 and that Trump called the police department regarding Epstein in July 2006, according to the outlet.

Fox News Digital reached out to Reiter and a security and crisis management firm he operates, called Michael Reiter and Associates, Tuesday morning. Reiter declined to comment on the matter.
The FBI document was among the millions of files, photos and emails released by the DOJ following Trump signing the Epstein Files Transparency Act in late 2025. The DOJ released its latest batch of files on Jan. 30.
The Florida police department began investigating Epstein in 2005 after receiving a call that a 14-year-old girl was allegedly molested by the financier, the Miami Herald reported. The call led to police uncovering other similar sexual abuse allegations and pulled Reiter into the investigation, the outlet wrote Monday.
The FBI document recapping Reiter’s reported interview with federal officials contends that Trump allegedly called Maxwell, Epstein’s longtime associate, “evil” and warned that police should “focus on her.”
“TRUMP told him people in New York knew [EPSTEIN] was disgusting,” the FBI document continued of the interview with the former police chief. “TRUMP said MAXWELL was EPSTEIN’s operative, ‘she is evil and to focus on her,’”
“TRUMP told (redacted) that he was around EPSTEIN once when teenagers were present and TRUMP ‘got the hell out of there.’ TRUMP was one of the very first people to call when people found out that they were investigating EPSTEIN.”
Fox News Digital also reached out to the White House Tuesday morning for comment on the alleged phone call and FBI document.

TRUMP CONSIDERS LEGAL ACTION AGAINST MICHAEL WOLFF AND EPSTEIN ESTATE AFTER LATEST DOCUMENT RELEASE
Trump long has maintained that while he did at a time brush elbows with Epstein, he “threw him out” of his Mar-a-Lago resort back in the 2000s as details of his web of sex trafficking and pedophilia circulated.
Reiter’s interview with the FBI also backed up Trump’s long-standing comments that he ended any ties to Epstein in the early 2000s.
“Mar-A-Lago is a mixture of everyone,” the FBI document reads. “DONALD TRUMP told (redacted) that he threw EPSTEIN out of his club.”

Epstein was a well-connected financier with a lengthy Rolodex of billionaires and celebrities who floated in and out of his orbit across the years. He was convicted of sex trafficking minors in 2008 and served just more than one year of incarceration, which also included a controversial work-release arrangement under a plea agreement.
He was arrested again in 2019 on charges of sex trafficking before he was found dead by suicide in his Manhattan jail cell.

Reiter’s interview with the FBI was held just two months after Epstein’s death, according to the Herald.
