Trump’s Iran Deal, Oil Drops Hard, New Epstein Report | PBD #818
"Epstein was particularly preoccupied with that he might have on Donald Trump who was then serving his first term in office, jotting on a legal pad. He returned to the president again and again, trying to dredge up anything to offer prosecutors. But his scribble said Trump is a total con artist, smoke and mirror, and never had money. Nothing to do with him. Nothing to do with him with girls."
The New York Times published a second major piece on Jeffrey Epstein's death, revealing that Epstein desperately tried to find incriminating information on Donald Trump to use as leverage with prosecutors. According to previously hidden notes obtained by the Times, Epstein repeatedly tried to dredge up anything against Trump but could only write that Trump was a 'con artist' with no money. Epstein's former cellmate confirmed he asked how to make a noose and prepared for suicide twice. The reporting vindicates Trump from Epstein-related allegations despite years of speculation.
