"Trump flew on Epstein's plane 7 times. That's just the start of it," says @MaryLTrump.

Trump lived just a few blocks away from Epstein in NYC and was known to be a frequent attendee the child trafficker's sex parties in NY in the 1990s.

Epstein and Trump also partied openly together in Florida. (2/x) nbcnews.com/news/us-news/t…

In 1992, Trump arranged for a "calendar girl" competition in which 28 young girls were flown into Mar-a-Lago. When they arrived, the girls realized they had been tricked into putting on a private show exclusively for Trump and Epstein. (3/x) vanityfair.com/news/2019/07/t…

Epstein allegedly introduced Trump to a 14-year-old girl at Mar-a-Lago in the 1990s. (4/x)

Trump continued to be photographed with Epstein and/or Ghislaine Maxwell on numerous occasions throughout the 1990s. (6/x)

In 2000, a porter who worked next to the Epstein mansion in NY told a UK newspaper, “I often see Donald Trump and there are loads of models coming and going, mostly at night. It’s amazing.” (7/x)

@michelleinbklyn In 2002, Trump told @NYMag: “I’ve known Jeff for fifteen years. Terrific guy. He’s a lot of fun to be with. It is even said that he likes beautiful women as much as I do, and many of them are on the younger side. No doubt about it — Jeffrey enjoys his social life.” (8/x)

In 2008, while George W. Bush was President, child rapist Jeffrey Epstein was given a sweetheart deal—behind the backs of victims—by Florida prosecutor Alex Acosta. (9/x) abcnews.go.com/Politics/acost…

The plea deal was negotiated by Alan Dershowitz, alleged in the #EpsteinClientList documents to have had sex with a minor multiple times.

Dershowitz later became a key Trump defender, even defending Trump during his first Senate impeachment trial. (10/x) time.com/6552063/jeffre…

As part of the 2008 deal, Epstein's famous clients and friends—including Trump and Dershowitz—all became immune from prosecution. (11/x)

Epstein told his brother in 2016 he had dirt that could destroy Trump.

Ghislaine Maxwell told former 60 Minutes producer Ira Rosen that Epstein had videotapes showing Trump in compromising positions with women, but didn’t know where the tapes were. (12/x)
nypost.com/2024/01/03/new…

During the 2016 campaign, Trump used his connection with the National Enquirer to help bury details of his association with Epstein, while bragging to others that the tabloid would help him smear Hillary with stories tying Epstein to Bill Clinton. (13/x) nytimes.com/2019/07/09/us/…

After Trump was elected, convicted sex offender Epstein claimed it was he who had introduced Trump to Slovenian-born glamour model Melania Knauss. (14/x)

In 2017, Trump inexplicably named former #Epstein prosecutor Alex Acosta his Labor Secretary.

As @PoliticusSarah reports, Acosta then attempted to slash funding for sex trafficking victims by 79%. (15/x) politicususa.com/2024/01/04/tru…

@PoliticusSarah In 2017, Trump fired the highly respected @PreetBharara as US Attorney for the SDNY.

In his place, he installed Rudy Giuliani's former law partner Geoffrey Berman. (16/x)

nytimes.com/2017/08/07/nyr…

@PoliticusSarah @PreetBharara In Nov. 2018, @jkbjournalist's blockbuster Miami Herald report raised alarms about the "sweetheart deal" #Epstein received from Florida prosecutor Alex Acosta. Why were Epstein’s co-conspirators let off the hook? How did he land in Trump's cabinet? (17/x) miamiherald.com/news/local/art…

@PoliticusSarah @PreetBharara @jkbjournalist That same month, Trump fired AG Jeff Sessions and replaced him with Bill Barr, whose own father had curiously given the college dropout Epstein a job teaching privileged teens at Dalton in the 1970s—giving Epstein his initial entrée into NY society. (18/x) time.com/5650974/willia…

In February 2019, @jkbjournalist reported that a federal judge had ruled Acosta and federal prosecutors "broke the law when they concealed a plea agreement from more than 30 underage victims who had been sexually abused" by Epstein. (19/x) miamiherald.com/news/state/flo…

The revelations about #Epstein's crimes—and the illegal deal made behind the back of Epstein's victims—forced Trump's Labor Secretary Acosta to resign and Berman, Giuliani's former law partner, to make a highly public arrest of Epstein in July 2019. (20/x) vox.com/2019/7/7/20685…

After #Epstein's arrested, NYT reported, "A trove of lewd photographs of girls" was "discovered in a safe inside the financier’s Manhattan mansion." Despite this and much other evidence being seized at other properties, no further arrests were made. (21/x) nytimes.com/2019/07/08/nyr…

As the NY Times wrote, #Epstein was known to have dirt on an "astonishing number of rich, famous and powerful people"—with the photos to prove it. It was widely assumed that many of those rich, famous and powerful people—including then-President Trump—wanted Epstein dead. (22/x)

Five weeks later, Jeffrey Epstein was dead.

Somehow the world's highest profile prisoner, a man who should have been guarded like the Crown Jewels, committed "suicide" in a facility that had not seen a single suicide in 20 years. (23/x)

Source: nypost.com/2019/08/10/sui…

Barr immediately put himself in charge of multiple investigations into how #Epstein died.

But he quickly embraced the "suicide" theory, rejecting findings by forensic pathologist Dr. Michael Baden, hired by Epstein’s brother to observe the autopsy.(24/x)
unprecedented.ghost.io/archive/the-ep…

With #Epstein dead, at least there was the prospect that others would be brought to justice.

Right?

Wrong.

Trump-appointed FBI Director Christopher Wray somehow allowed that crucial "trove of evidence" found in Epstein's safe to disappear. (25/x) newsweek.com/missing-jeffre…

Far from exonerating Trump, documents unsealed this week only emphasize the links between Trump and Epstein.

Mar-a-Lago features 13X, including victim Virginia Giuffre being "a locker room attendant for the spa area" at Mar-a-Lago in the year 2000. (26/x) newsweek.com/jeffrey-epstei…

"The documents say that Epstein forced a minor to have sex with... (Alan Dershowitz) multiple times. The documents also say that Dershowitz 'was an eye-witness to the sexual abuse of many other minors by Epstein and (his) co-conspirators.'" (27/x)

Will the full truth about Trump and Epstein ever be revealed?

Ghislaine Maxwell isn't saying anything.

And "family values" Republicans have no interest in looking under the rock where all the pedophiles in their party lurk. (28/x)

What we do know for sure is that:

a) Trump has spent most of his adult life exploiting young women

Example: Trump Models, a scheme to trap undocumented young women into housing debt that they repaid by working illegally and at Trump sex parties (29/x)
motherjones.com/politics/2016/…

What we do know for sure is that:

b) Trump has spent most of his adult life actively preying on teenagers

He bragged openly about walking in on naked girls as young as 15, claiming it was a perk of owning a teen beauty pageant. #PedoTrump (30/x)

What we do know for sure is that:

c) Trump has spent most of his adult life openly assaulting women

In 2023, a jury found Trump criminally liable for the rape of E. Jean Carroll in the mid 1990s. #RapistTrump (31/x) nbcnews.com/politics/donal…

We know a 2023 jury found Trump liable for rape.

But the world knew for years—even before the @GOP made him their leader—that Trump was a serial sexual predator who routinely assaulted girls and women.

BECAUSE HE WAS THE ONE BRAGGING ABOUT IT. (32/x)

We also know that #Epstein isn't the only child rapist and convicted sex trafficker Trump has partied with or done business with.

Ivanka's former manager John Casablancas is just one example. #PedoTrump (33/x) theguardian.com/us-news/2020/m…

As both @GOP candidate and as President, Trump hired and consorted with multiple pedophiles and child rapists, many of whom are now in prison for child porn, rape &/or sex trafficking.

Here's a more extensive list of Trump's pedophile associates. (34/x)

@GOP Sources claim Trump "was getting laid like crazy" at sex-and-cocaine parties at the Plaza Hotel in the 1980s & 1990s. Trump filled the parties with models as young as 15 and told them that being nice to his affluent friends would help their careers. (35/x) timesofisrael.com/report-trump-h…

@GOP We know that after he was first arrested in Florida in 2006, Jeffrey Epstein was offered a plea deal that was later deemed illegal that, coincidentally, shielded Trump and others from prosecution. #TrumpEpstein (36/x)

Details and sources: unprecedented.ghost.io/archive/trump-…

@GOP We also know that Jeffrey Epstein, the world's most high-profile prisoner, arrested by a Trump appointee, somehow died in the care of Trump-appointed AG Bill Barr after a "perfect storm of screwups" at a facility where suicide is near-impossible. (37/x) apnews.com/article/ap-top…

To make matters worse: After Epstein's death, crucial evidence—including CDs and hard drives—that could have led to further prosecutions somehow got "lost" by an FBI led by another Trump-appointee, Christopher Wray. (38/x) telegraph.co.uk/world-news/202…
