"Asked whether he would consider a pardon for Maxwell, Trump would only offer: 'Itβs something I havenβt thought about.' Really? His answer should have been an immediate, emphatic: 'No way, no how. Period.' Itβs insane even just to toy with the idea."

Trump said he broke up with Epstein, over Epstein's poaching a Mar-a-Lago worker. But Wolff got a different story from Epstein. Trump is probably trying to hide this account because of the scent of money laundering.

For most of his political career, Trump's been the Houdini of politics. Like Houdini, Trump locked himself in boxes it was impossible to get out of - yet he always escaped. But now Trump is locked in a box he can't get out of, a box called Jeffrey Epstein.

Jeffrey Epstein conspiracy theories come back to haunt Donald Trump
President Trumpβs base is angry at him for allegedly selling out on the Epstein scandal, despite the fact that there is no evidence of foul play or a client list.
"Starting with the Obama birther movement, Trump has long thrived on conspiracy theories. If thereβs a lesson to be learned, itβs this: Be careful of the monsters you create with your conspiracy theories, because they might come back to haunt you."
