It's been over two weeks now and they still haven't released the Epstein files because withholding exculpatory evidence is clearly what you do when you're "innocent."

Melania Trump didn't qualify for an EB-1 visa and was paid for modeling in the U.S. in 1996 while on a tourist visa, which doesn't allow employment. Working on this visa is fraud and also disqualifies her. She also lied about work history on her immigration application,which is NATURALIZATION FRAUD.

Trump is demanding that GOP side with him over Epstein's victims, Rep Ansari tells me. She had a harrowing exchange with one victim who recounts how her mom had cancer and he exploited that.

Also note her mockery of network disclaimers on Trump. More like this, Ds:
