The speaker is addressing allegations and rumors surrounding Jeffrey Epstein, emphasizing that the subject (presumably a president) does not deny the severity of Epstein's actions. The speaker states that the president views Epstein's deeds as a "terrible, unspeakable evil" and that he himself was aware of the situation, even kicking Epstein out of Mar-a-Lago upon first hearing rumors. The speaker further claims the president was aware of Epstein's activities and was an FBI informant attempting to dismantle these operations. The president is portrayed as having great sympathy for the victims and finds the actions "detestable." The speaker confirms they have discussed this matter with the president as recently as 24 hours prior to the statement.

He's not saying that what Epstein did is a hoax. It's a terrible, unspeakable evil.

He believes that himself. When he first heard the rumor, he kicked him out of Mar-a-Lago. He was an FBI informant to try to take this, this, this stuff down.

The president knows and has great sympathy for the women who have suffered these unspeakable harms. It's detestable to him. He and I have spoken about this as recently as 24 hours ago.
