The entire Epstein-Trump relationship is not new, it's been widely known for decades. Trump put it back in the news by having his DOJ tease that they were going to release everything, then having his DOJ say they weren't going to release anything, and then continually dithering about the entire thing, making him look really guilty.

Personally, I applaud our news media for continuing to run with this story.

I applaud the news media for finally moving away from reporting that “Epstein killed himself in prison” and instead opting for much more vague language like “he died in prison”. Considering it seems really really unlikely he killed himself in prison at this point
