The anecdote is included in Rosen's new book, Ticking Clock: Behind the Scenes at 60 Minutes, released Tuesday, in which he dishes about his time working at the investigative show.
The book sheds new light on reported claims that Epstein had secretly recorded his celebrity friends having sex with women and underage girls at his home - and then used the footage to blackmail them.
Two of Epstein's victims, Maria Farmer and Virginia Roberts Giuffre, have previously claimed that they saw a room full of CCTV monitors in a room at his $65million mansion in New York - with some cameras installed in the bathrooms.
In his memoir, Rosen reveals he arranged a meeting with Maxwell in early 2016, and acting on 'hunch' that the tapes existed, tricked her into confirming they did.
'I want the tapes. I know he [Epstein] was videotaping everyone and I want the tapes of Trump with the girls,' Rosen told her.
Ghislaine Maxwell appeared to admit Jeffrey Epstein was taping his famous friends, including Donald Trump and the Clintons, during a 2016 meeting with former CBS producer Ira Rosen, a new book reveals.
The British socialite, who is accused of procuring underage girls for the billionaire pedophile, reportedly told Rosen she didn't 'know where' such recordings were after the Emmy-winning producer asked her to hand over footage of Trump.
The conversation took place ahead of the 2016 US presidential election and Maxwell, who supported Hillary at the time, refused to help, saying: 'If you get the tapes on Trump you have to do [Bill] Clinton'.
Maxwell replied: 'I don't know where they are.'
Rosen writes he told her to 'ask Epstein', adding that the 'fate of the country is at stake.'
'Trump could be elected president and how would you feel if those tapes emerged after he was in office?' Rosen asked Maxwell.
'She gave me a stern look and pointed a finger in my face. She said: "I am the daughter of a press baron. I know the way you people think. If you do one side, you must do the other. If you get the tapes on Trump you have to do Clinton".'
Rosen replied: 'I will. I will go wherever the story goes.'
According to Maxwell, however, Epstein, allegedly never told her of the whereabouts of the tapes, Rosen writes.
'Maxwell didn't want Trump elected, but said that Hillary Clinton was comfortably ahead and there was no need for the story to come out.
'Besides, she said, Epstein never shared with her the location of the tapes.'
Flight logs have revealed that Bill Clinton took at least 26 flights on Epstein's private jet, known as the 'Lolita Express', and photos published by DailyMail.com have shown him getting a massage while on board from a young Epstein victim.
Reports have claimed that Clinton also went to Epstein's island in the Caribbean but he has denied this and always claimed he flew on the plane through his work at the Clinton Foundation.Trump and Epstein were also friends for years and partied together in Florida, with the former president once saying that the pedophile liked women on the 'younger side'.
At the end of the night, Rosen says he hailed Maxwell a taxi and she asked if he was going back to her place.
'Get me the tapes and I will go back to your place,' he replied, but Maxwell gave him a kiss on the cheek and left.
Rosen writes that he thinks that wealthy men in Palm Beach invested with Epstein 'after being extorted with pictures from nights of debauchery'.
The encounter was his second meeting with Maxwell.
Rosen writes that he also saw Maxwell at a book party at the Four Seasons Hotel in New York in 2014 - after she met her future husband Scott Borgerson - and that she had approached him wearing a 'sexy red dress' and asked for a ride home.
'Once there she turned to me in the front seat with an offer. "If you come in and f**k me I will tell you the secrets of my father",' Maxwell said, Rosen writes.
Maxwell was referring to Robert Maxwell, the disgraced British newspaper tycoon who was rumored to have been an Israeli intelligence agent and died under mysterious circumstances on his yacht in the Canary Islands in 1991.
'I was stunned and speechless, my mind racing. I was not about to sleep with her but the reporter in me still wondered if her information would make a good 60 Minutes piece,' he added.
Rosen said he told Maxwell: 'What a great offer but I left my dog home alone and I really need to get back to her'.
