Since neither Drudge nor the U.S. Sun to which he links has any credibility whatsoever, I was wondering what anyone knew of the Sun's/Drudge's claim that Trump flew the Lolita Express. As in: is that even what the pilot actually said?
I could easily imagine the pilot ingratiating himself with prosecutors by insinuating Trump, but did he say anything to contradict Trump's earlier claims about Epstein?
He did. Near as I see it,
the search of the updated database shows one trip from Palm Beach to Newark...same info as before

FUSION GPS FAIL: Inside Glenn Simpson’s Plot To Link Pedo Jeffrey Epstein With POTUS Trump
By Joshua Caplan

It’s well documented former President Bill Clinton flew on convicted child sex offender Jeffrey Epstein’s private jet. And yet, despite Clinton’s glaring ties to Epstein, Fusion GPS founder Glenn Simpson thought it would be wise to link President Trump to the convicted sex offender in an effort to smear the real estate billionaire. Trump and Epstein knew one another socially, although not very well — unlike Clinton.
“Bill Clinton took repeated trips on the “Lolita Express“—the private passenger jet owned by billionaire pedophile Jeffrey Epstein—with an actress in softcore porn movies whose name appears in Epstein’s address book under an entry for “massages,” according to flight logbooks obtained by Gawker and published today for the first time,” reports Gawker.
Washington Times reports:
Fusion GPS, the opposition research firm whose Democrat-financed Russia dossier fueled an FBI investigation into Donald Trump, pitched other stories about the Republican presidential candidate to Washington reporters, including an attempt to tie him to a convicted pedophile who was once buddies with former President Bill Clinton.
Journalist sources told The Washington Times that Fusion founder Glenn Simpson pushed the idea of a close relationship between Mr. Trump and Jeffrey Epstein, who pleaded guilty in 2008 to soliciting sex from an underage girl. […]
Ken Silverstein, the reporter who ultimately wrote an Epstein-Trump report, confirmed to The Times that Fusion had sourced the story. Mr. Silverstein, founder and editor of WashingtonBabylon.com who wrote the story for Vice.com, defended Mr. Simpson as a solid source of information that must first be confirmed.
Did Fusion GPS ask Silverstein to pen the piece?
“Since you asked, yes, they helped me with that,” Mr. Silverstein told the Washington Times.
“But as you can see, I could not make a strong case for Trump being super close to Epstein, so they could hardly have been thrilled with that story. In my humble opinion, that was the best story written about Trump’s ties to Epstein, but I failed to nail him. Trump’s ties were mild compared to Bill Clinton‘s,” added Silverstein.
“I said Fusion could not have been happy with the Epstein story,” he added. “What I mean is that I never proved a really sleazy connection, so frankly I was disappointed too, I thought there was more (and still wonder).”
After Rep. Devin Nunes forced Fusion GPS to unseal its bank records, it was then discovered that the opposition research firm paid at least three journalists during and after the election to push the phony dossier.
So far.
May have, this source isn’t posting all testimony unfortunately, hope to get a transcript
Trump said, years ago, that he liked Epstein. He said he was fun to be around and he enjoyed him.
(By the way, that’s far more than AG Barr ever admitted about his father’s relationship with a 21 year old Epstein. Question: Why was AG Barr allowed to investigate Epstein’s death?)
Trump broke off his friendship, business and otherwise, when he found that Epstein was pursuing underage girls.
It’s been pretty much acknowledged but I don’t doubt for a minute that the Left will manipulate the truth of the matter.
the plane, but NOT to the island...
Don’t fret.
President Trump is by far the most thoroughly vetted human being in the history of the world.
Believe me - if there was any dirt to be found, it would have been found long ago.
Why are you giving Drudge the clicks? Stay off Drudge. Go to Bongino report.
I think Trump flew one time from NY to Palm Beach to Maralago. Epstein was a member there til Trump caught him hitting on underage girls and kicked him out.
This video discusses how Trump made himself available to investigators back in 2009 who wanted information on Epstein:

In addition, it’s my understanding that Trump permanently banned Epstein from Mara Lago after it was learned that some illicit advances were made on a minor by Epstein or someone in his circle.
Epstein came on to an underaged Mar-a-lago staff member and Trump had him immediately kicked out.
He was flown to NYC
I like to see things like this posted here. It give us a
chance to repudiate it. People can read that repudiation
here and when the topic comes up at the holiday dinner
table, our people can speak with authority on the topic.
I would not have known some of the things I read here on
the topic. It helped.
I knew it was something like that.
I thought he brought an underage guest.
I apologize. I was wrong. The database I looked at was not updated.

I think he takes his responsibility for staff extremely seriously. And an underage staff puts him in loco parentis. He chose his responsibilities over a relationship with a multi-millionaire. That’s our guy!
He flew to Newark. The headlines are trying to make it seem that Trump went to Epstein’s island. There is no evidence of that, and you can be sure the left used the FBI to look for it.
