A child sex abuse survivor from Palm Beach County who testified at the Ghislaine Maxwell trial in 2021 said she had met Donald Trump with Jeffrey Epstein at Mar-a-Lago in the 1990s when she was 14 and was once a contestant in Trump's Miss Teen USA beauty pageant.

She was trafficked through Trump's pageant.

When Trump says his falling out with Epstein was over Jeff hiring Trump's workers, this is what he really means. Poaching his victims, more like.

So he’s not hiding the files just because he is a co-conspirator but because these files would presumably shine a light on his own, independent heinous crimes.

Could also be the Maxwell files because apparently she was actually the mastermind behind it all

They'll just show it out of order, put it on on Saturdays and it won't make it beyond the first season.

So, if she spills the beans and justice actually gets done, will that be due to Maxwell's Silver Hammer?

How was she the mastermind? She’s definitely complicit and an equal part in all of this, but is there evidence to prove that she spearheaded the trafficking ring?

There’s an old CBS video of Virginia Guiffree explaining it
