Trump’s supporters have
long wondered whether he’d use billionaire sicko Jeffrey Epstein as ammo
against the Clintons—until a lurid new lawsuit accused The Donald of
raping one of Epstein’s girls himself.
For Jeffrey Epstein and his famous friends, the Aughts were a simpler time, when the businessmen, academics, and celebrities who counted themselves among the playboy philanthropist’s inner circle could freely enjoy the fruits of his extreme wealth and connections.
Epstein’s little black book and flight logs
read like a virtual Who’s Who: Bill Clinton, Donald Trump, Larry
Summers, Kevin Spacey, Prince Andrew, and Naomi Campbell all hitched
rides on Epstein’s private planes. Socialites and distinguished
scientists went to visit Epstein’s island in St. Thomas, and cavorted at
epic dinner parties at his palatial townhouse—then the largest privately owned residence in New York, as he liked to brag.
There, they picked at elaborate meals catered by celebrity chefs like
Rocco DiSpirito, marvelled at Epstein’s opulent decor, and noted the
pack of very, very young model-types with whom Epstein always seemed to
surround himself.
But a darker story was going on underneath the glamour. In 2008, Epstein was convicted of soliciting sex from an underage girl
and quietly paid settlements to scores of alleged victims who said he
serially molested them. But the girls kept coming out of the woodwork—in
2014, another young woman filed a lawsuit claiming that Epstein used
her as a sex slave for his powerful friends—and that she’d been at
parties on his private island with former President Clinton.
And just last week, yet another “Jane Doe” filed a suit in New York accusing Epstein and Donald Trump of raping her at a series of sex parties when she was only 13.
