Trump effectively confessed he knew what Epstein was doing, and the mainstream media whiffed
This is an article from 3 1/2 months ago, but the point it makes has still largely been ignored by the media AND the public.

But a close read of the comments leads to an inescapable and highly damning conclusion: That as early as 2000, Trump knew what Epstein was doing.
He knew that Epstein was “hiring” girls under the age of 18 for some reason. But hiring them for what? Epstein was a financial adviser, not a fellow spa owner.
And Trump knew full well that Epstein, as he famously put it in 2002, “likes beautiful women… on the younger side.” (At the same time, he called Epstein a “terrific guy” who’s “a lot of fun to be with.)
In short, he knew Epstein was “stealing” his employees – starting with Virginia Giuffre, then a 16-year-old spa assistant – to rape them and make them sex workers. And he didn’t care. His comments were effectively a confession.

I would think that after some of the emails released last week where Epstein indicated Trump knew what was going on, that at least some in the mainstream media would connect it back to July when Trump effectively confessed to knowing what Epstein was doing.
And to be clear, under Florida law, Trump was legally obligated to report this to authorities. The fact that he didn't do that was a felony.
