There's some anonymous claims to the tip lines, nothing like E Jean Carroll, or anyone going to the real press. It's hard for me to buy that someone wouldn't have come forward with a case that would survive scrutiny. And before you say they are afraid he'd have them killed, E Jean Carroll is in good health after getting him adjudicated guilty of sexual abuse.
Likewise if anything was in what of the Epstein files that have been released to Congress that implicated Trump, there would have been a race to the nearest media outlet. Maybe you can say that something was withheld from what was released to Congress, but that's supposition.

Epstein had the kind of cash and connections that would act as a pheromone to someone like Trump.

I've been thinking that way for a while also. Think about it -- trash doesn't let anything happen without
