A woman told the FBI she was trafficked by Epstein as a kid. A newspaper just verified her story. The DOJ hid her files and called it a coding error. Meanwhile, Eric Trump broke ground on a golf resort in Vietnam the same week his father paused their tariffs, and a convicted fraudster bought himself a presidential pardon through two guys who ran a voter-suppression robocall scheme. Nobody got fired. Nobody got charged. Nobody even pretended to be embarrassed.
She Was Telling the Truth
A woman who contacted the FBI in 2019 said she was trafficked as a minor by Jeffrey Epstein starting in the mid-1980s. She gave investigators specific, checkable details – names, places, crimes, dates. A South Carolina newspaper went and verified them. Her mother’s 1985 arrest? Real. The Ohio businessman she named? Board member at the college she described. A Rick James concert in Savannah? Confirmed.
She also described being introduced to Donald Trump at a building in New York. That encounter cannot be corroborated. But the DOJ – Trump’s DOJ – initially withheld three of her four FBI interviews, calling it a “coding error.” The files were released only after Democrats on the House Oversight Committee pushed. Then the White House called her “a sadly disturbed woman.” We’re 2% through the Epstein archive.

Eric Trump told CNBC that critics “didn’t give us much of a choice.” He said it smiling. While their father was talking to the press, Don Jr. and Eric were on planes – eight countries, government meetings, billion-dollar groundbreakings. The Trump Organization made at least $87 million in international business income in 2024. These are not blind trust investments. These are active deals with the same countries their father is threatening or rewarding with tariffs.
Vietnam was facing a 46% tariff, then Eric flew to Hanoi and broke ground on a $1.5 billion golf resort with the prime minister. Tariffs got paused for 90 days. In Serbia, a cultural heritage director was arrested for forging documents to clear a path for Kushner’s hotel deal. Trump told the New York Times, “I found out nobody cared, and I’m allowed to.” The Emoluments Clause says otherwise. But enforcement requires a Congress that cares more about the institution than the party.

The Trump pardon industry has a rate card and a waiting list. Joseph Schwartz defrauded the federal government of $38 million through a nursing home scheme, served three months, then paid nearly a million dollars to two guys who previously ran a voter-suppression robocall scheme targeting Black neighborhoods. He walked out with a presidential pardon.
The lobbyists – Jack Burkman and Jacob Wohl – were themselves convicted of telecommunications fraud when they brokered the deal. The pardon didn’t just clear Schwartz. It cleared them too. Trump pardoned the fixer and the fixers’ fixers in the same stroke.
