Former Epstein cellmate claims financier mocked Trump and Clinton
William Mersey, a former inmate who spent time with Jeffrey Epstein at Manhattan’s Metropolitan Correctional Center, has shared unverified anecdotes regarding the late financier’s views on high-profile associates. In a documentary by TMZ, Mersey claims that Epstein shared stories about Donald Trump and Bill Clinton during their time together in a suicide prevention companion program.
According to Mersey, Epstein recounted a story involving Donald Trump, a private jet, and Atlantic City, alleging that Trump once described himself as “white-trash adjacent.” Mersey also stated that Epstein unprompted shared a sexually explicit narrative concerning Bill Clinton during a trip to China.
Neither account has been independently verified, and the claims constitute hearsay rather than evidence of wrongdoing by the former presidents. A White House spokesperson dismissed the reports, noting that Trump had previously banned Epstein from Mar-a-Lago. Representatives for Clinton did not respond to requests for comment.
