Seriously is being in the Epstein files the most important qualification for members of the Trump regime?

Kevin M. Kruse @kevinmkruse.bsky.social · 10h

The President, two of his current Cabinet secretaries, his former strategist, his biggest donor, and his pending Fed Chair nominee are all in the files of a pedophile who ran a sex trafficking ring, while the attorney general and a former Cabinet secretary let him get away with it.

Seems kinda bad?

At least half a dozen top Trump administration officials appear in the Jeffrey Epstein files

The degree to which each individual was connected to Epstein varies significantly, from a single email to years of communications.
