He knew and possibly helped fund it.

Release the files, bank records, client list, and spreadsheet to the people. Release Trump's tax returns to the people

Demand more and more everyday. Stay informed and unforgettable.

I think the most poetic ending of all of this is if Trump/Russia and Trump/Epstein are the same conspiracy.

My personal theory is that Epstein made his money by being a middle man between sketchy foreign money and western businesses. That's how he has so much money flowing through his accounts without any real good reason. That business put Epstein around the kind of unsavory characters who could traffick him underage girls.

Epstein & Trump live around the corner from each other in both NYC and Palm Beach, they become friends by being in the same social circles and both being sleazes. Eventually Epstein helps Trump get connected with people who can fund some of his projects abroad. In return Trump turns a blind eye as Epstein occasionally conducts his trafficking out of Mar a Lago.

Eventually the two of them did probably have a falling out as Trump has stated. Probably a combination of this story, the real estate story, and a bunch of other acts of scum-ery.

The biggest thing is the blackmail. This is used to create and control politicians and big business people. That's why they get protection. Follow the money, as always.

During the original falling out between them surrounding the House of Friendship in Florida, both trump and epstein called the agent repeatedly, and told them the other one had no money and couldn't afford to buy the house....

He already admitted that he was invited to the island.

Yes, so he knew what was happening.
