The claim "I cannot fly" is not an evidence-based claim because studies have not ruled out the possibility that I can, in fact, fly.

Trump suggests Khashoggi had it coming: "You're mentioning someone that was extremely controversial. A lot of people didn't like that gentleman that you're talking about. Whether you like him or didn't like him, things happen. But he knew nothing about it. You don't have to embarrass our guest."

In Feb. 2018 following the first Buzzfeed article, Krauss emailed Epstein.
Krauss: "I wonder if I will ever really recover.. I wish they would indict Trump or something right now.."
Epstein, providing more advice: "break the charges into ludicrous. ogling. jokes. . etc. ."

Here's Epstein offering Krauss some advice, evidently from experience, on his response to Buzzfeed's inquiry.
"normaly thier strategy will be to take back your defense to the accusers. and attack each one. if they find you
are right they will leave out. and only go with the conflicted."

Krauss was also in discussions with Sam Harris, who tipped him off that Buzzfeed was investigating the broader skeptics movement.

Krauss was also in discussions with Sam Harris, who tipped him off that Buzzfeed was investigating the broader skeptics movement.
So it seems Krauss forwarded an email from me to him asking for responses to allegations against him to Jeffrey Epstein, asking Epstein for advice on how to respond.
Here's Krauss emailing Epstein about the allegations detailed to him in @peteraldhous.com's email. Notably, Krauss does not deny #6 (that he groped a woman's breast during a selfie).
