It was supposed to be an exclusive party at Mar-a-Lago, Donald J. Trump’s members-only club in Palm Beach, Fla. But other than the two dozen or so women flown in to provide the entertainment, the only guests were Mr. Trump and Jeffrey Epstein.
The year was 1992 and the event was a “calendar girl†competition, something that George Houraney, a Florida-based businessman who ran American Dream Enterprise, had organized at Mr. Trump’s request.
“I arranged to have some contestants fly in,†Mr. Houraney recalled in an interview on Monday. “At the very first party, I said, ‘Who’s coming tonight? I have 28 girls coming.’ It was him and Epstein.â€
[..]
“I’ve known Jeff for 15 years. Terrific guy,†Mr. Trump told New York magazine in 2002. “He’s a lot of fun to be with. It is even said that he likes beautiful women as much as I do, and many of them are on the younger side.â€
Trump isn’t known to have gone on any trips with Epstein, which would have been out of character. “I don’t think Trump would go to someone else’s property or someone else’s island or villa,†Nunberg said. “He doesn’t even play golf at anyone else’s clubs.†But Trump did host Epstein as a guest at Mar-a-Lago, where he appears in photos in 1997 and 2000. Epstein’s personal little black book, which was leaked by an employee in 2009, contained 14 phone numbers for Trump, his wife, Melania, and several people who worked for him.
Speaking to reporters on Tuesday, President Trump dismissed his past appearances with Epstein, describing him as a “fixture in Palm Beach†in those years. “I had a falling out with him a long time ago,†he added, though he declined to elaborate. “I don’t think I’ve spoken to him for 15 years.â€
... back in the early 1970s, Barr’s father hired Epstein to work as a physics and math teacher at the elite Manhattan private school Dalton, despite the fact that Epstein did not have a college degree.

Quote by Will in Chicago:
Good morning, bloggers.
As an ex-reporter, my instincts tell me that Epstein probably has dirt on a lot of people. I would not be surprised if there is embarrassing, if not incriminating, material on Trump and several other prominent people.
There is an attitude among some people that they are the only true human beings, and others exist either to serve them. Epstein embodies this attitude to a high degree.
I expect things to get worse before it gets better.

I don't think people realize how fantastic @SpeakerPelosi's sparring with @AOC has been for Pelosi—and @AOC.

For years, the right painted Pelosi as the party's out of touch far-left. Now, thanks to @AOC, she's the center, which means @AOC has yanked the Dem center to the left. https://t.co/UH5sCS47Pu

How convenient that you aren't available on those dates as they are the ones that are already taken. Since I am staying with my cousin and her husband who are Orthodox I don't want to cause any problems on the sabbath for them I will be out of the house. Dinner on Saturday sounds like a plan.
