The President, two of his current Cabinet secretaries, his former strategist, his biggest donor, and his pending Fed Chair nominee are all in the files of a pedophile who ran a sex trafficking ring, while the attorney general and a former Cabinet secretary let him get away with it.

Seems kinda bad?

Trump and his GOP sycophants have done everything they accused President Obama and Dems of doing or wanting to do.

Every projection remains a confession.

We warned people, but in America, racist mediocrity literally TRUMPs Black excellence.

Every m’fin day.

Okay, which Trump appointees/associates AREN’T in the Epstein files? Are there ANY? 🤔
Dr. Oz emailed an invite to a Valentine's Day party in 2016 to Jeffrey Epstein.

Oz appears several more times in the Epstein files, including an email sent from an account under his name to Epstein on Jan. 1, 2016, that has the subject line "Dr oz." The body of the message is completely redacted.
Senior US health official Oz invited Epstein to Valentine's Day party, documents show
Mehmet Oz sent the invite almost a decade after Epstein's first sex crime charges became public.
