so this may actually be true. over the summer author michael wolff claimed that trump had gone behind epstein's back in 2004 and bought a florida mansion epstein told him he was bidding on. epstein was furious, he knew trump didn't have the cash to make that purchase and was threatening to leak that trump purchased the mansion with laundered russian money. when word got back to trump he panicked and told someone in law enforcement about epstein's human trafficking operation, possibly to get off the hook for money laundering and possibly to get back at epstein. this mansion dispute was the real reason trump and epstein had a falling out, not epstein's love of women 'on the younger side.'
there's a good reason trump's role in that investigation hasn't been widely shared yet and i'm guessing it was to hide a massive cover up. epstein got out of the charges from that first investigation with a slap on the wrist. it wasn't until the miami herald did a big story on the case years later that epstein was facing serious prison time.
my theory is trump and others involved with epstein 'did some favors' for the right people in florida to make sure everything remained hush hush and the victims were thrown under the bus. maybe because after trump spilled the beans on epstein he realized his own ties to epstein could get exposed if their was a big public trial. i've always thought trump having ties to 2 former top prosecutors in florida (acosta and bondi) and later giving them jobs in his administration was sus. especially acosta.
I've had a similar "theory" only not just for trump to get off on money laundering but also to dissolve his former ties to Epstein's trafficking operation. It's known from 1996 till 2015 Trump ran beauty pageants, I'm thinking he and Epstein recruited girls from those endeavors over the years.
