I’ve heard most journalists and politicians say that Trump hasn’t been directly accused of wrongdoing or implicated in the Epstein Files.
But, there are repeated instances of Trump being directly named as a perpetrator—by victims and by Epstein. It’s not circumstantial, it’s direct.

NYC, this is a very unpleasant flu and you'll be miserable if you catch it. RSV and Covid are here too. Holidays make it far more likely you'll get these.
CDC says 4.6 million flu cases have been reported nationally. 49,000 people hospitalizations. 1,900 deaths.
You have masks at home. Put'em on!
