Trump can blame Bill Clinton
If the US President was not found on Epstein’s fight lists, evidenced at his island, or didn’t have other signs of connection to Epstein - like the weird painting of Bill in a blue dress, hanging in Epstein’s living room, then Epstein would have only been a minor story about perverted Wall Street types who Americans didn’t know, and he would have been quickly forgotten.
Epstein ensnared Bill Clinton, Bill Richardson and Bill Gates. Three Bills and a Jeff.
