Attorney Gloria Allred on Friday speculated on why the friendship between President Trump and convicted sex offender Jeffrey Epstein ended, and what the files released by the Justice Department (DOJ) could reveal about the falling out. Well, Ive heard different explanations from the White House about why he dropped him, Allred told CNNs Phil Mattingly.
One explanation was that he was a pervert, Jeffrey Epstein. But if he was a pervert, in the view of the president not the president at the time then why did he believe he was a pervert? And was he did he investigate? Allred continued. Did he look into what actions or misconduct he knew that perhaps Jeffrey Epstein was inflicting on underage girls, children, or adults?
The attorney said she also heard that Epstein bid against Trump in purchasing a property in Palm Beach, Fla., which stirred bad will between them. So we dont know whether, whats the truth, she said. Well just have to wait and see why he and Jeffrey Epstein were no longer friends. Well look at the, all the files when theyre released to see when the last communications may have existed between the two of them.
The attorney noted that her focus was more on allegations of sex trafficking underaged girls, including who assisted, who enabled, who supported Jeffrey Epstein in this effort. Were going to have to also follow the money, which may be the most important trail that we have to journey upon in order to find out how this, I think, worldwide sex trafficking method and project was conducted, she concluded.

(40,023 posts)I'm talking about the women who could have embarrassed Chump by revealing how he had attacked or raped them, or in some cases groped or grabbed them. At one point Bannon told Michael Wolff that it was over 100 women, but not all of them were willing to sign NDAs.
E. Jean Carroll was famously one of those who refused, and she was able to take him to court.
These women who signed NDAs in 2015 and 2016 were not underage, and as far as I know, none of them had anything to do with Jeffrey Epstein. The situation with Epstein was very different ... maybe the documents will reveal whether they were trafficking together (by hiring wanna-be models etc.) or whatever shows up in the financial transactions.
