Benny Johnson debunked that claim yesterday. The file was still there and does not incriminate Trump in any way. It shows that a woman accused Trump and she had mental health issues.

Here is his video:

How is it that just one man generates millions of papers or documents by the Federal government?

lol. Obama WH lawyers were in tight with Epstein.
They would have used it against Trump already.
I keep hearing the left talk about Epstein and Trump, but everything keeps coming up Democrats……..

Keeping in mind in 1994, Trump was a democrat.

Former Obama WH counsel said ‘I adore him’ after Epstein booked her first-class trip to Europe

Emails show former Obama WH counsel asked for Epstein’s ‘thoughts’ on statement declining attorney general job…

So, why no name given?

I worked for one of the wealthiest families in the world a few years back. One of their many businesses were luxury hotels that were situated around the world. They had 20 in house Lawyers on staff to handle the number of lawsuits that were constantly being filed against them. One of my favorites was a very expensive hooker that sued them for restraint of trade, since she was arrested on their property while hooking. The Lawyers spent an enormous amount of time keeping up with these lawsuits and most were just settled out of court. Not because they were guilty, but because it was cheaper and easier just to pay the nuisance lawsuits off.

Bingo that game has been play by many anything from restraint of trade to racism anything for a buck and changing laws for the guilty pay off and pity parties.

Food for the left media propaganda show.

A dear friend and I must have shared 100s of emails last year.

In my business...I had at least 100 billings a year to one particular attorney...and those were generated after several other emails and job descriptions etc..

Epstein was a businessman first...perv was secondary.

Without commenting on the veracity of the statements, I agree. My 30 second take is that the allegations were made by an unreliable/unstable source. Nonetheless, they are detailed, lurid, and perverted. This will get significant coverage, and could well put Trump on hard defense for the rest of his presidency. The problem is that even if he is completely innocent, he’s been associated with alot of men and women who are clearly anything but. This taints him, and introduces an element of doubt and suspicion.

My impression is that Trump did associate with Epstein and by some involvement or witnessing things became aware of his deeply warped lifestyle. Once that happened, he broke off the relationship.

‘I thought you said not to involve Donald,’ Epstein told in email

I bet he also told them not to involve the police at least one time. Does that mean all cops raped young girls?

CNN is trying too hard to form the narrative. It always falls apart under scrutiny yet the headline survives in the vacuous minds of the TDS sufferers

Elon Musk is a sick man, and his personal emails to Epstein are just more evidence of this. Nobody who asked Epstein when his “wildest parties” are being held should be anywhere near the President.
