“I can’t answer that.” I was reminded of this moment in the last few days with all the discussion of Epstein. Has any reporter looked into whether Trump has non-disclosure agreements with Epstein victims?
PSAKI: Do you think Donald Trump was aware of that arrangement at Mar-a-Lago?
EPSTEIN SURVIVOR SHARLENE ROCHARD: Umm. I don't know if he was aware. Um. Actually, I can't answer that.
