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.

I mean people don’t know where Epstein’s initial capital came from. He wasn’t independently wealthy. He must have had some sort of secret financing from some silent of silent partner

I swear he ran a pedo-brothel of sorts and acted like these mega rich people's friend but blackmailed them for money and silence. These poor surviving girls/women know that these are powerful people that abused them and would probably be killed for talking out. Who knows who he was working for CIA or Mossad. I just wish someone would release it all and let the pieces fall on whoever is guilty.

I think it’s probably more likely that he was hand-selected to head up the pedo-brothel enterprise. Some very powerful people said “we’re going to make you a billionaire but when this goes sideways you’re the one going down, not us.”
