I mean I’m sure she heard about it independently. It’s still standard practice in journalism and the right thing to do to credit the outlet that beat you. I do it!

Brb going back in time and uncrediting easily half the outlets I’ve ever credited that beat me because I also knew about the story before

Someone involved emailed the reporter asking why they didn’t credit us and her answer was that she knew about the case before we published. ??? As if that’s ever been the standard for crediting previous reporting of the exact same story a week before. lol

I loved this story when I reported it first on February 12 for The Intercept!

This is an interesting story @nytimes.com

It was even more interesting when I broke it a week and a day ago in The Intercept which you did not cite or mention.

There’s no memo. It’s just us contending with ourselves. Now that’s scary

People who want a fairy tale that they will find some hidden memo of Trump raping kids somewhere emotionally don’t want to contend with the fact that people voted for Trump and all that means and that his banal evil won’t be magically vanquished by some secret revelation to save us all

Apparently not but they have 100k followers on X and some legit people follow her here like Rupar

Why do you say wrongly won? Didn’t she show she had never met the woman they accused her of sex trafficking? Genuinely asking as that’s what I saw.

Nor is it an elderly financial advisor from Washington State named Susan Hamblin Bentley, as others have posted.

Sue Hamblin in Epstein's Black Book had a South African address.

Jesus Christ. The Susan Hamblin who wrote this 2014 email was not a Mormon woman married in a Seattle temple in 1987. That's who runs the adoption agency, Susan Hamblin Lawrence, a widow with four kids.

ICE Is Expanding Across the US at Breakneck Speed. Here’s Where It’s Going Next ICE plans to lease offices throughout the US as part of a secret, monthslong expansion campaign. WIRED is publishing dozens of these locations.

Yes let me do their job for them for free or maybe they should thank me for helping them avoid lawsuits due to their own incompetence.

The source that shows their story is wrong is IN THEIR OWN story.

The woman who dated Kimbal is in Epstein flight logs years before the lawsuit of the other woman claims she ever even MET Epstein.

It's already being used to discredit the real stuff, which is my soapbox rant all the time

this is bad bc it's almost defamatory and it's an explosive claim, and it's so easily disproven by the very sources it cites

the messiness around the Epstein files reporting is insane

This story is wrong. It combines two separate women-- the woman Kimbal dated and another anonymous victim from a lawsuit who is seven years younger, as seen in the very documents the story cites.

Epstein had more than one female pair marry each other.
