But he quickly deleted the photo after a flood of comments and photos linking his father to Maxwell and Epstein.

Trump critic George Conway, who is married to the President’s adviser Kellyanne Conway, mocked Eric over the tweet.

“Seriously, why would he tweet this?” he asked with a photo showing Mr Trump, Melania Trump, Epstein and Maxwell.

MSNBC producer Kyle Griffin tweeted, “It seems Eric Trump deleted this.”

Jeffrey Epstein was an American financier, socialite and convicted sex offender who infamously sexually abused many women, including underage girls.

He died by apparent suicide in prison in murky circumstances.

The US Department of Justice is investigating his death.

Maxwell, who has been in hiding for months, was arrested in New Hampshire on Friday.

The 17-page, six-count indictment filed by the Manhattan US attorney charges Maxwell with a number of crimes.

Those include conspiracy to entice minors to travel to engage in illegal sex acts, enticement of a minor to travel to engage in illegal sex acts.

Epstein was an acquaintance of a number of celebrities and politicians including Prince Andrew, Bill Clinton, Donald Trump and Harvey Weinstein.

Epstein owned a 70-acre private island in the Caribbean called Little St. James. He sexually abused underage girls on the island.

Both Mr Clinton and Mr Trump claimed that they never visited Epstein’s island.
