Notably, Trump's name has also come up in the documents related to late convicted child sex offender Jeffrey Epstein. The letter which Anderson wrote was in favor of Epstein. To be sure, this letter was written back in 1998. Epstein would only face police investigation in 2005.
However, the letter is being widely circulated online as Bettina and Don Jr embark on their new life together. “All In The Family! Don Jr. got married (again) yesterday to Bettina Anderson, a Palm Beach socialite. Her father, Harry Loy Anderson, was president of Palm Beach National Bank & Trust Company. He wrote a character reference for Jeffrey Epstein saying — ‘Mr. Epstein enjoys an excellent reputation in our community. . . Jeffrey is a gentleman of the highest integrity . . .’ Many people are saying that being a poor judge of character seems to be a hereditary trait that can be passed down,” one person wrote, while sharing the letter.
