America has 925 billionaires as of this year. Collectively they have a record $6.9 trillion in wealth.

The last person who should be in charge of releasing the names of Jeffrey Epstein’s accomplices is Jeffrey Epstein’s best friend. That’s like putting a bank robber in charge of guarding the vault, you don’t let the fox write the guest list for the henhouse.
