Trump knew Epstein files could be a problem—early as 2015.

HOST: You raised question of Epstein.
TRUMP: Epstein’s island was really a cesspool. No question about it. Just ask Prince Andrew.
HOST: Is this a political problem?
TRUMP: Look,he could end up being a political problem.

The interview with Bloomberg reporters took place at the 2015 CPAC conservative conference.

At the time he said there was an "80 percent chance" that he would run for president.

Trump said Epstein could be a political problem for anyone running for president who was known to have been friendly with him—trying to hurt Hillary Clinton's campaign—while ignoring his own ties.
