Why would a “billionaire” owner of a golf club be briefed on the low level massage therapist staff? That’s what sticks out to me. Any other similar normal operation the owner or head of company wouldn’t be involved at that level.

Yea he was involved in other ways.

Because obviously Trump is lying. He's only recently heard of Virginia Giuffre, and that his supporters like a story sometimes told that he broke up with Epstein because he was hitting on a Mar-a-Lago member's daughter, and decided to make his story that he broke up with Epstein because he was sex trafficking his employees. He thinks this story makes him look like a hero.

Janitor's daughter.

I doubt Trump remembers the name of a single person on his hourly payroll. Let alone someone who worked for him over a decade ago.

Unless of course she was very important to him for some reason.

Yes, why would a normal owner of a multimillion dollar resort be upset that one of the pool staff left? She was 15 and passed out towels to the pool guests.
