Donald Trump and Jeffrey Epstein partied together. Then an oceanfront Palm Beach mansion came between them. In 2004 both wanted to buy Maison de l’Amitie—the House of Friendship. Trump paid $41.35mil for it, 4 yrs later sold to Dmitry Rybolovlev for $95mil
washingtonpost.com/politics/donal…
As @3L3V3NTH noted in this thread from May -


- an article in the Guardian on Michael Wolff's book described this same story about how Trump went behind Epstein's back to buy the FL mansion he later sold to Rybolovlev
theguardian.com/us-news/2019/m…
@3L3V3NTH I was searching to see who first reported about Epstein and Trump bidding on the FL house - and found my own tweet on this from late 2018 (not sure where I first saw this though)
