Of course, deflect discussion to Trump. Does that make any of those other people look better to you?

Trump gave information against Epstein in 2009 and unlike Bill and others did cut ties after learning he was poaching girls from Mar-a-Lago.

I specifically made the point to look into those who were friends with Epstein even after knowing what he was doing.

Nice whataboutism though. Feel free to reference source materials to support your claims.

Btw are you a bot or is that just a canned statement you use?

What if we extended this idea beyond one dataset to all discrete news events and entities: people, organizations, places. Just like here you could get a timeline of key events, a graph of connected entities, links to original documents. Newsrooms might already do this internally idk. This code might work as a foundation. I love that it's RDF.

One wonders what the US government agencies use.

Isn’t that what Palantir’s product is?

They probably use Excel, maybe Microsoft Access.

This obviously the correct lens but note that the 2008 plea deal was so neutered by the time of settlement it made it somewhat easy to stay friends with him.

This is of course ontop of the 2006 Florida prostitution charge though.

Trump was with Epstein in 2017, he didn't cut ties at all

Especially when Epstein was paying off journalists at the NYT and intimidating other outlets.

But point being those people that were friends with him had to know. Whether it was socially acceptable by the elite because the public wasn't aware isn't very relevant.

After seen this I interested in a map of each person to assist with knowing who they are, who they worked for during the email date, and who they currently work for.

That's a lie that has already been proven false since Trump's entire trip was documented.

Love how we have actual evidence against people but discussions always devolve into some conspiracy related to Trump.

----

Based on the available evidence, there is no confirmed meeting between Trump and Epstein in 2017. While both men were in Palm Beach during Thanksgiving week 2017, there is no direct evidence they met.

Here's what we know about their presence in Palm Beach that week:

- Trump was at Mar-a-Lago from November 21-26, 2017

- Epstein owned a mansion in Palm Beach and was known to be in the area

- Epstein mentioned both Trump and himself being "down there" (Palm Beach) in an email exchange on November 23, 2017

While there were claims circulating online that Trump spent Thanksgiving with Epstein in 2017, these claims have been thoroughly investigated and found to be unsubstantiated

Trump's official calendar for that week shows his activities included:

- Thanking military members on a virtual call

- Visiting Coast Guard members at Lake Worth Inlet Station

- Playing golf with Tiger Woods and Dustin Johnson

great use case for using AI to suggest mergers and clean up.
