Epstein wrote that Trump knew of sexual abuse but didn’t participate
That account, included in a new tranche of documents, conflicts with Trump’s denial of ever knowing about Epstein’s solicitation of underage prostitution before Epstein’s 2008 plea deal.

the NYTimes has provided more support to Republican presidents in the last 25 years than Fox News: neither GWB’s war in Iraq, nor the Trump I administration, happens without the NYT.
The question everyone is asking right now is this: NYT had deep access into all of this in real time and reported none of it. Why? In consequence, no NYT reporting on this subject is trustworthy.

In 2015, a NYTimes reporter received an email from Jeffrey Epstein, notorious sex trafficker of teen girls, with pictures of Trump & young women in Epstein’s home, claiming that he “gave” a 20-year-old girlfriend to Trump after 2 years, once he was done with her. and this…was not deemed newsworthy?
