As Trump faces pressure to release more information regarding Epstein, reports are coming out that the two men knew each other well.

Epstein pleaded guilty to state charges for soliciting prostitution and soliciting prostitution from a minor in 2008, but was hit with additional federal charges in 2019 before his death.

Representative Marjorie Taylor Greene on Monday urged President Donald Trump to release more Epstein files, lest his base turn against him. The Georgia lawmaker wrote on X that Trump, having entertained a number of conspiracy theories (to which she, of course, also subscribes), must now either deliver on them or face his supporters’ wrath.

The two socialized together frequently in New York City and Palm Beach from the late 1980s to the early 2000s. In 2002, Trump praised Epstein to a reporter as a “terrific guy” — and curiously added that he “likes beautiful women” on “the younger side.”

Jeffrey Epstein’s former lawyer thinks Ghislaine Maxwell should have her 20-year prison sentence commuted—and be given immunity to testify before Congress about the late financier. “Ghislaine Maxwell is basically serving the sentence that Epstein would have gotten,

Trump has survived so many scandals that it’s become hard to keep track, but the specifics of the Epstein controversy may make it harder for him to dismiss.

Maurene Comey, the Manhattan sex crimes prosecutor fired by President Donald Trump’s Justice Department — who went further than any of her peers in holding notorious sexual predator Jeffrey Epstein and his convicted madame Ghislaine Maxwell to account — warned her longtime colleagues Thursday of a dark new era in which “fear is the tool of a tyrant.

Trump faces political risk from the Epstein story. So far, however, his MAGA base has largely rallied around him.
