Overview
- NYT reporter Nicholas Confessore says Epstein routinely put Trump on speakerphone so others could hear them discuss sexual conquests, describing it as a power play and grooming tactic.
- The investigation reports Trump and Epstein spent extensive time together in the 1990s and early 2000s, including frequent calls, visits to homes and offices, flights, and parties.
- Congressional emails released last month include Epstein’s boast that he “gave” Trump a 20-year-old woman he dated in the 1990s.
- The Times says it found no evidence implicating Trump in Epstein’s trafficking of minors, and Trump has denied accusations such as model Stacey Williams’s claim he groped her in 1993.
- The administration plans to release Epstein files as required by a new law, with FBI Director Kash Patel indicating the bureau will disclose only portions it deems lawful to release.
