One thing worth remembering as all of this Epstein stuff roils is that we know of multiple occasions in which women were paid to keep them from talking about having sex with Trump.
WELKER: Why was this photo of a desk with a drawer open containing photos of Trump taken down?
BLANCHE: You can see in that photo there are photos of women. We learned there were concerns about them.
W: Are you saying those women are victims of Epstein?
B: No, that's not what I'm saying.

Kamala Harris: It is about reminding folks that we refuse to kneel at the foot of a tyrant. That's not what we do. We stand for the principles upon which our nation was founded. We believe in the power of the vote, and we are prepared when necessary to fight fire with fire.

BARTIROMO: If you put that 100% tariff on top of what's in place already, you'd have a 157% tariff on China. What is that gonna do to the economy?
TRUMP: It's not sustainable, but that's what the number is. It's probably not. You know, it could stand. But they forced me to do that.
