Short answer: Yes — Donald Trump says he eventually kicked Jeffrey Epstein out of Mar-a-Lago, but the timeline and exact reason are debated. PBS

Here’s what the facts and reporting show:

🧠 Background

• Trump and Epstein were social acquaintances/friends in the 1990s and early 2000s. They were seen together at Mar-a-Lago and social events. PBS
• Epstein was a member of Trump’s Mar-a-Lago club for many years. Yahoo

🧾 Trump’s Account of Kicking Epstein Out

• Trump has publicly stated that he cut ties with Epstein and banned him from Mar-a-Lago after Epstein did something inappropriate while at the club. FOX 32 Chicago
• He has also said that Epstein repeatedly “stole” women who worked at the Mar-a-Lago spa (including Virginia Giuffre, a known Epstein victim), which led to Trump banning him. ABC News

🧐 What Independent Reporting Shows

• Historical records suggest Epstein remained a member of Mar-a-Lago for years after some falling-out with Trump, including well after Epstein’s indictment in 2007. Yahoo
• Trump’s public explanations about when and why he banned Epstein have shifted over time and don’t fully align with some historical documents. YouTube

📌 Bottom Line

• Trump does say he kicked Epstein out of Mar-a-Lago.
• Independent sources confirm Epstein was a member there long after their friendship cooled.
• The exact date and reason aren’t perfectly documented and are part of broader scrutiny about their past relationship. PBS
