Trump’s special envoy Witkoff put his hand over his heart when Putin walked in the room. Like he’s reunited with a loved one. That really tells you all you need to know.

NEW: Trump claims he broke contact with Epstein in 2004. But Epstein sure seemed to know about President Trump’s policy views and thinking in 2017, via correspondence with an advisor for Bill Gates.

(In the same emails, Epstein also asks Gates’ advisor if she’d fucked him. So there’s that too.)
