So, in the Trump-Epstein video clip from 1992 that keeps getting aired (the one with former Rep. Tom McMillan in the background talking to Ghislaine Maxwell), who is the man with the mustache who Trump briefly speaks to?

Brooke Rollins is such a dumb putz
You really gotta follow up on an underspecified claim like “we found 186k dead people.”
People die every day, and the government is always going to be some amount behind in working out the administrative consequences, but that doesn’t mean the deceased’s EBT accounts were somehow used for fraud.

I don't think legacy media is reading the room correctly on the Epstein Files. Many of us are asking why they have ignored this story for the last decade? Why did they dismiss all of us who were concerned that Trump might be compromised? And where is their fucking contrition and apology now?
