    People on the right claim Trump stopped talking to him and threw him out after he found out what was going on. Bullshit. Epstein snagged a piece of property out from under Trump and Trump got angry about it.

    Even if the claim that Trump threw him out when he found out what was going on, that means he didn’t alert the authorities to child sex trafficking. That alone should make you not want to vote for him since he would have had the power to stop it. Instead he had the AG who gave Epstein a slap on the wrist added into his cabinet.

      And, of course, his claim is at least a corroboration of the stories around Epstein at the time. If his claim to be taken as fact, what exactly did Trump learn about Epstein, and what was the deciding factor that made him throw Epstein out?
