Did some digging for you: This court filing proves Trump ended the friendship when he found out who Epstein was. https://nypost.com/2019/07/09/trump-barred-jeffrey-epstein-from-mar-a-lago-over-sex-assault-court-docs/. He banned Epstein from Mar-a-lago after Epstein hit on Trump's colleague daughter.

The prosecutor here says "The only thing that I can say about President Trump is that he is the only person who, in 2009 when I served a lot of subpoenas on a lot of people, or at least gave notice to some pretty connected people, that I want to talk to them, is the only person who picked up the phone and said, let’s just talk. 'I’ll give you as much time as you want. I’ll tell you what you need to know, and was very helpful, in the information that he gave, and gave no indication whatsoever that he was involved in anything untoward whatsoever, but had good information.

'That checked out and that helped us and we didn't have to take a deposition of him in 2009," https://www.dailymail.co.uk/news/article-7245241/Jeffrey-Epsteins-former-boss-Steven-Hoffenberg-hits-out.html

Pretty evident how much power Epstein had. Pretty interesting the corrupt IRS has placed him under an audit pretty much ever since he cut ties with Epstein. Looks like they're looking for blackmail, haven't found it in his finances. https://www.marketwatch.com/story/president-trump-has-faced-a-decade-long-audit-of-his-taxes-heres-how-long-irs-audits-usually-take-2020-10-01
