Trending Now: Donald Trump and Jeffrey Epstein partied together. Then an oceanfront Palm Beach mansion came between them.

For the better part of two decades starting in the late 1980s, Epstein and Trump swam in the same social pool. They were neighbors in Florida. They jetted from LaGuardia to Palm Beach together. They partied at Trump's Mar-a-Lago Club and dined at Epstein's Manhattan mansion. Their falling out, Trump said, happened about 15 years ago — several years before Epstein's conviction on a prostitution solicitation charge. At the time, both men were angling to snag a choice Palm Beach property, an oceanfront manse called Maison de l'Amitie — the House of Friendship — that was being sold out of bankruptcy.
