    Is it just an unfounded report by a single person with no evidence? I bet the fbi got a bunch of crazy shit reported.

    If there’s any evidence of this being true let’s see it.

        That’s not what the Epstein files are. They’re literally any paperwork related to him, even the tips from kooks. Some reaches the level of evidence, most is cruft.

          This “paperwork” suggests that TRUMP murdered a newborn and dumped it into a lake after having SEX with a CHILD.

          Are YOU suggesting that we treat it as gossip or should we look a bit closer???

            I’m saying an accusation can be made by anyone, and does not automatically constitute fact. Its presence in the file doesn’t mean the claim was substantiated.

              This accusation was not made by “anyone”. It was made by the woman who watched him murder her newborn.

              Why would she say that? Money? Fame? Power? She currently HAS none of that.

                The report was made a couple months before the 2020 election. Many others also made wild reports. I saw two others in the Epstein files made literally 6 days for the election.

                There are plenty of reasons to make up a story.

                But sure, they should go and investigate it. Starting with the woman and her uncle. Oh wait, I bet the uncle is dead. And I bet she took great effort to gather evidence… right…?

      The files also contain two other reports about Trump abusing girls, made literally one week before the 2020 election. No corroborating evidence.

    If anyone else was linked or even hinted at being linked to something like this, they’d be in prison before you could say howdy there.

      That’s not true. You need credible evidence that something illegal happened. An uncorroborated report almost 40 years after the incident, made just weeks before the 2020 election is not credible or useful for prosecution.

    I talked to him for about 20 or 30 minutes about my being sex trafficked by my uncle and Jeffrey Epstein in 1984 while I was 13 and [pregnant] …

    Hmm, this really pushes the timeline of the Trump-Epstein friendship back some years. In this 2002 New York Magazine interview, he says that he’s known Epstein for 15 years (circa. 1987). But this murder happened in 1984, how long had they actually known each other?

      This happened before he met Ghislaine and well before all documented abuse victims.

      Nothing seems credible. They waited almost 40 years, right before the 2020 election, to say something. And take no efforts to gather corroborating evidence.
