#EU Epstein investigations:
Who knew? #Epstein operated globally under fake passport and name, so #EU countries definitely better start investigations on their own. Especially since Trump's DOJ is a cover up shop at best.

FYI: Epstein had a Austrian passport found in his safe, issued in 1980 with his picture and a different name and his place of residence being in Saudi Arabia. He used this passport many times with stamps of France, Spain, UK, and Saudi Arabia.
