Justice Department publishes some missing Epstein files related to Trump The Justice Department has published additional Epstein files related to allegations that President Trump sexually abused a minor after an NPR investigation found dozens of pages were withheld.

Just a little food for thought, since we have FBI interviews for the woman on 7/24, 8/7, 8/22, and 10/22, and we’re still missing 37 pages, doesn’t mean that we potentially have at least 5 FBI interviews with this woman?

In the recent 302 FBI releases of the victim from 1984 in South Carolina, her mother was sent to jail for embezzlement (unrelated). Who signed off on her case? None other than Solicitor Randolph “Buster” Murdaugh Jr., grandfather of Alex Murdaugh.

Please be mindful about how you spread true information in the Epstein case. Certain statements or screenshots can be retraumatizing and hurt more than help.

I actually asked her if she beat her servants with her scepter, because I was snarky back then too.

I wrote a letter to the Queen when I was 6. If I’d known then what I know now, it would’ve been a much longer letter.

Donny T. and Jeffrey E. - A Series of Unfortunate Events The following is a detailed timeline of the relationship between Donald Trump and Jeffrey Epstein, including court documents, flight logs, little black books, masseuse lists, mugshots, and everything ...

This simple Substack post is what thrust me unknowingly into the world of independent journalism. It’s also still one the most important details of this investigation: the friendship of Donald Trump and Jeffrey Epstein.

She accused Jeffrey Epstein of assaulting her in SC. Decades later, women like her live in fear. A woman settled with Jeffrey Epstein’s estate after claiming that the disgraced financier began abusing her in Hilton Head when she was a 13-year-old girl.

So far the war in Iran has cost an estimated $5.5 billion.

That's roughly $1 billion per day.

$41,666,667 per hour.

$11,574 per second.

People do not want this.

They want a living wage. They want healthcare. They want to be able to afford a home. They want their basic needs met.
