How FBI 302s, a Hilton Head real estate scheme, and 37 missing DOJ pages connect Jeffrey Epstein and Donald Trump to a teenager's abuse in the early 1980s — and what the documents prove
Such great investigative reporting! Bravo and keep up the hard work because we are all here waiting to learn more and seeking some justice & resolution for all who were abused by these people. Is there anything that can be done to help her (Jane Doe 4) feel safe and supported in this…? I know it is asking a lot for her to reveal more after being dismissed and treated so poorly in earlier attempts - and, it most likely feels dangerous to expose her story and risk further harm. Can we find out if she actually received a payout from the Epstein Trust?…. or was that another failed attempt?
I am in awe of your journalistic skills in putting this together! We are so fortunate to have you on this case and persevering on and on to be sure you’ve not missed anything. I celebrate the fact that you don’t let this go and move onto some other part of the horror. Thank you so much, Ellie Leonard!
It's quite horrific pouring over those files isn't it? Enough to make you physically ill and emotionally shaken. Epstein may have been the ringleader of the operation, but there were countless participants and trump was one of them - and we know it! We have seen countless pictures from the '80's and '90's of Epstein and trump in the hayday of their "playboy" days. And I believe there are hundreds more we haven't seen. No one can tell me these playboy pals weren't in on this together - no one can tell me trump is innocent. Trump is the guy who boasted of grabbing women to get them to do what he wanted. He's the guy who had sex with a porn star (while his wife was pregnant) then paid to silence her. He's the guy convicted of being a sex offender. This is not someone who passed up sex with young virgins. No one will convince me that the pervert trump ever would tell Epstein that he wasn't interested, that he would pass up the opportunity to abuse children for his pleasure. This man is all about abuse, in all its many forms.
It could be a big discrepancy if she was truly only 12 years old at the time of the concert in Savannah. Hopefully it was a different band the following year and the shows were confused in her memory. 😢 13 is horrible but 12 is way worse!
The defining features of this exploitation of young girls are misogyny and sadism. If trump had any integrity, we might give him a pass. Unfotunately for trump, this behavior is completely in character for being a woman- hating pedophile
Wondering if Patricia Schmidt, Epstein’s girlfriend for a year when he was with Bear Sterns circa 1980 could corroborate some of these personal traits and details. She recently did an interview on Australian tv. 60 minutes program.
Great job!
Well done!
Your my “Hero”..❤️‼️❤️
This is the person who will pursue the vile pervert felon until he croaks. Keep digging and thanks for it.

Wow. Such good investigative reporting and thank you as disgusting as it must be to uncover these deep links to powerful abusive men.
